Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a score of 78.2, which is a bit better than the Apple iPad Air's overall score of 77.7. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a much newer tablet, and it's also a little bit thinner and just a little bit lighter than the Apple iPad Air. IPad Air counts with a brighter screen than Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, because although it has a bit smaller display, it also counts with a quite better 1536 x 2048 pixels resolution and a just a bit higher pixels amount in each inch of screen.
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite's processing unit is just as good as Apple iPad Air's processing unit, because although the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a 32-bits processing unit instead of 64-bits and doesn't have a GPU, it also counts with a greater number of cores (and they are faster) and a higher amount of RAM. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite takes a little bit better pictures and videos than iPad Air, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same 1920x1080 (Full HD) video resolution, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite also has a way higher 8 mega-pixels resolution camera and a way bigger aperture.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite counts with a much bigger memory capacity to install games and applications than Apple iPad Air, because although it has just 64 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with a SD card slot that holds a maximum of 1000 GB. Apple iPad Air counts with improved battery performance than Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, because it has 8820mAh of battery capacity.
Although Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a better device, it costs more money than Apple iPad Air, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Apple iPad Air. If you want to save some dollars, you can get Apple iPad Air, giving up a few features and specs, but you will get the most with your money.
