The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite features a camera that's just as good as the camera in iPad Air 2, and although the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a way bigger camera aperture, they both have the same resolution camera in the back, the same 1920x1080 video quality and the same 30 frames per second video frame rate.
