The new tablet PC is a low-cost model of Samsung's premium PC Galaxy Tab S6, which was released last August. The new device is expected to come at an affordable price of around 500,000 won ($410).
Samsung began receiving preorders for the new gadget in Europe. It will be released in Korea this month, the company said.

One of the main features of the 10.4-inch screen device is the redesigned S Pen stylus, enabling users to take quick notes and multitask.
“The new S Pen has a refreshed design that makes it as practical and comfortable to use as a traditional pen,” Samsung said. “Weighing only 7.03 grams, the S Pen is light and easy to use, and its improved latency and 0.7mm pen tip deliver greater precision for note-taking and drawing.”
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite includes dual AKG speakers, and Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound to deliver an improved audio experience.
“Whether you're watching a YouTube video, streaming your favorite show or listening to a great playlist, you'll experience premium quality sound,” the company said.
The tablet PC comes in two storage capacities ― 64 gigabytes and 128 gigabytes. It also has a Micro SD slot that supports up to 1 terabyte memory expansion.
