In most cases, when you purchase a tablet, you’ll need to add the stylus to your shopping list separately. Fortunately, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite includes the S Pen. This pen requires no charging or pairing. As soon as you remove the stylus from the back of the tablet, you can begin writing. The 10.9-inch display has a resolution of 1920 by 1200, an Exynos 1380 chip runs the operating system, and the 8,000mAh battery lasts all day. Starting at 128GB, the memory card slot lets you expand storage up to 2TB.
Head over to Amazon to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite for just $330, down from its usual price of $400. That’s a $70 discount and 18% off.
A hardy tablet perfect for everyday use
Because it includes the S Pen, this tablet stands out from others in its price range. Most tablets that support a stylus sell one for anywhere from $80 to $130, and many require charging or a Bluetooth connection before the stylus starts recognizing your handwriting. Samsung’s S Pen has no battery, connects magnetically to the back of the tablet, and recognizes handwriting immediately once the tip touches the glass.
Samsung Notes converts handwritten notes into typed text, which makes a page of scrawl something you can search through later. Palm rejection also eliminates the need to hover your hand above the screen while writing, so you can rest it the way you would on paper. Sketching and annotating a PDF work exactly the same way.
The 10.9-inch 1920 by 1200 display provides ample space for two applications side by side without either one looking cramped. You can read a document while taking notes on the other half of the screen, or run a video conference alongside a web browser. Due to the 16:10 aspect ratio, which is taller than widescreen, there’s much less need to scroll vertically.
The Exynos 1380 processor, paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, delivers smooth performance when navigating apps, watching videos, taking notes, and switching between applications. The included 8,000mAh battery will typically provide enough power for average daily use. Recharging from dead takes time, but you can do it quickly with the 25W USB-C charger.
Storage starts at 128GB, and the microSD card slot supports cards up to 2TB. Movie downloads and photo libraries won’t compete for space, and purchasing additional storage later saves money compared to buying a tablet with more built-in memory. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite also carries an IP54 rating for dust and splashes, along with a metal frame that holds up to being carried around in a bag all week.
