Samsung’s latest high-end Android tablet is the Tab S6. Like the iPad Pro and Surface Pro, it’s designed to be a tablet that you can use to get work done. Unfortunately, its flashy hardware is stymied by sloppy software bugs and incomplete features.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a highly accomplished Android tablet. It's great for media and almost as good for productivity. It's expensive, but still cheaper than its main rival - the iPad Pro. However, it's also not quite as good as Apple's Pro range.

The Galaxy Tab S6 is arguably the best Android tablet ever made with a sleek design, powerful internals and handy features. However, it’s pretty pricey as an entertainment device and as a productivity workhorse there are better options elsewhere.

The best high-end Android tablet. Virtually the only current high-end Android tablet, too.

There's no other option in the market for someone looking for a high-end laptop-replacement tablet that is not an iPad. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 nails all the pills of a great tablet but is let down by Android's capabilities. Having said that, it is the best iPad Pro competitor on the market and will suit most people's needs.
