This is a really great tablet and I think for the price, you are getting a lot with little compromises. In my experience this far, here is what I've noticed:
Display: this is definitely a great display, for not being a OLED. In my usage, I compared it to my Tab S4 and when using side by side, you aren't giving up much. LCD vs OLED is all a matter of preference, the former being more color accurate, while the latter being more vibrant. When viewing content on the Tab S6 Lite, there isn't much of a difference between it and a OLED screen. The colors look great, pictures appear sharp with good definition, and videos look just as good as any other tablet. The only real difference is that the Tab S6 Lite has a 1080p resolution screen vs my Tab S4, which is 1440p. Overall, I'm pleased.
Speakers: definitely good, for only using two speakers. The Tab S6 Lite has two speakers, one on each side of the tablet, and they sound great. There is a natural assumption that not having quad (4) speakers would be a bad thing, but I can confirm this is not true. In the video provided, the Tab S6 Lite (on right) sounds just as good as the Tab S4 (on left). There is good separation, which gives you a stereo sound that is pleasant, even at high volumes. No complaints so far.
Battery: this is an all-day tablet. My usage normally contains media consumption (e.g., Youtube, HBO, etc.), surfing the web, reading documents, research, video calls, and I can say it lasts all day, no problem. I think it all depends on what you need it for. Like I always say about tablets, they are tablets! Set your expectations accordingly. If I need to get actual work done I'll get a laptop or 2 in 1, not a tablet.
Performance: great for a tablet. For the S6 Lite, Samsung is not using one of their top tier processors to power it, but I honestly don't have complaints. There is some lag but it's only when utilizing the task switcher (when you see all apps you have open). Other than that, open & closing apps, surfing the web, emails, and gaming is great. Again, this is a tablet, I implore people to set their expectations accordingly.
S-Pen: it works like all of Samsung's pens. If you have owned any of Samsung's Note phones, then know the pen with the Tab S6 Lite works the same. There is minimal lag, and responsiveness is quick and precise. There is no battery, so you don't have to worry about charging it and it magnetically sticks to the side, right below the power buttons.
Overall, I'd recommend if you want a good android alternative to the iPad, that will save you some money.
Update: 09/26/2020 - The June patch was released with Samsung One UI 2.5 and any lag that was there has all but been eliminated.
