The main benefit of DeX over Android 9 is that it lets you keep multiple windows open at once. That process starts instantly and the Galaxy Tab S6 switches between Android 9's main interface and DeX in a matter of seconds.ĭeX is a good solution for turning an Android tablet into a laptop replacement, and I found myself switching back to it every time I wanted to do more than browse a website or watch a video.

Samsung also added a DeX hotkey to the BookCover Keyboard so that you can easily switch between modes. It's a nice change, but I find navigating the interface is still best done with the S Pen or touchpad. First, the task bar was extended so icons are now easier to tap. Samsung made a few notable improvements to DeX over the years. Note, however, that not all apps are supported on DeX. Instead of programs, Android apps are pinned to the DeX desktop. A task bar is at the bottom of the display and gives you access to open apps as well as important settings, like volume, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

If you've used a Chromebook or Windows 10 laptop, then the DeX will look familiar. The tablet category average is only 108%.ĭeX mode returns to the Galaxy Tab S6, giving users a familiar desktop interface for when you want to be more productive.
#SHOTBOT GALAXY S6 PRO#
That makes it more colorful than the panel on the iPad Air (132%) and the 11-inch iPad Pro (112%) but not quite as saturated as the Galaxy Tab S4's screen (219%). However, it does outshine the average tablet (368 nits) and the iPad Air (425 nits).Īccording to our colorimeter, the Galaxy Tab S6's display covers 122% of the sRGB color gamut or 192% in vivid mode. At 9.6 x 6.3 x 0.2 inches and 0.95 pounds, the Galaxy Tab S6 is smaller and lighter than the Apple iPad Air (9.8 x 6.8 x 0.2 inches, 1 pound), the 11-inch iPad Pro (9.7 x 7 x 0.2 inches, 1 pound) and its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S4 (9.8 x 6.5 x 0.3 inches, 1.1 pounds).Įven in the brightest conditions, the Galaxy Tab S6's panel is dimmer than those on the Galaxy Tab S4 (463 nits) and the 11-inch iPad Pro (572 nits). Instead, slim display bezels surround its 10.5-inch display. The Galaxy Tab S6 doesn't have a home button. The Galaxy Tab S6 is a slim, stylish slate that looks every bit as premium as the iPad Pro. I now really want to see how the Mountain Gray and Rose Blush look. Our review unit flaunts a beautiful metallic blue/gray that I haven't seen on any gadget before. Knowing that, we recommend buying a stylus holder or the BookCover Keyboard to house the S Pen when you're traveling.Īside from the S Pen integration, the other design element that stood out to me were the Galaxy Tab S6's unique colors. The folks at Samsung told me that the magnet isn't meant for storing the stylus, but, rather, for charging when the tablet is in use.
