Is the S Pen included?

Yes. The S Pen comes in the box and attaches magnetically to the back of the tablet, where it charges.

Can I add more storage?

Yes. There is a microSD slot that takes cards up to 1TB, on top of the 256GB built in.

Does it still get Android updates?

No. It launched on Android 9 and its major OS upgrades have ended, so it stays on an older Android version.

Does it have a headphone jack?

No. There is no 3.5mm jack, so wired headphones need a USB-C adapter or you use Bluetooth.

Is the keyboard included?

No. The keyboard cover is sold separately; the tablet and S Pen are what come in the box.

Is it good for drawing?

Yes, for casual sketching and note-taking. The S Pen is precise and pressure-sensitive, though serious artists may want a larger screen.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 10.5" 256GB

The Galaxy Tab S6 is a 10.5-inch Android tablet with a 2560 x 1600 Super AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 855 chip, 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage that expands up to 1TB via microSD. It ships with the S Pen, which attaches magnetically to the back and charges there. It suits people who want a light tablet for notes, sketching and streaming rather than a laptop replacement. Against the iPad Air of its generation it wins on the AMOLED panel and the included stylus, but it trails on long-term software updates and on keyboard-cover typing feel.
