- Filter: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 Edition incorporates a 10.4-inch TFT LCD screen. This technology has lower production costs and lowers the price of the device, but its quality is not as good as iPad 10, which is IPS and its viewing angles are better, as well as color reproduction. The screen size of iPad (2022) is 10.9 inches.
- Processor, RAM and Storage: The processors of Apple mobile devices generally offer very good performance, and el chip A14 Bionic iPad 10, which although not the company’s newest, offers better performance than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. This will be especially noticeable in the most demanding tasks, such as when playing titles with a greater graphics load, which will cost the Snapdragon. Storage options are 64 or 128 GB on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022), expandable by Micro SD, and 64 or 256 GB on the iPad 10.
- cameras: Another point where the iPad (2022) wins is in photography. Its 12 MP cameras offer better image quality, and Centered Framing on the front promotes better video calls.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 comes with Android 12 upgradable to Android 13 and the One UI 5 customization layerwhich has special features not available on any other Android tablet, and therefore the experience is not purely Android.
- connectivity: Despite both tablets have USB-C with 2.0 speedsiPad (2022) supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, so its features are better than Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022), which are WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0.
- Others: One of Samsung’s successes with this tablet was to include the S Pen, your stylus, which allows you to write or draw comfortably and with great precision. This accessory is also available on the iPad, but the Apple Pencil is sold separately (and it’s not a cheap accessory). The sound of the Samsung tablet is Dolby Atmos compatible. On the other hand, the iPad 10 has its own official keyboard with trackpad (which is not cheap either), and in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) it is possible to connect a Bluetooth keyboard.
- Price: the iPad (2022) starts at 579 dollars for the version with the basic configuration, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) is available from 429 dollars.
