When trying to figure out which of these has better software obviously the Chromebook Duet is running Chrome OS but it’s very similar to Android in general. Another advantage the Chromebook has over Android tablets is the ability to go to the web version of a lot of Apps and stuff going just through the Google Play Store which can give you a better experience.
Design
| Chromebook Duet | Tab S6 Lite | |
| Dimensions | 239.8mm x 159.8mm x 7.35mm / 9.44″ x 6.29″ x 0.29″ | 244.50mm x 154.30mm x 7.00 |

| Colors | Ice Blue + Iron Grey dual tone | Angora Blue, Chiffon Pink, Oxford Grey |
When it comes to which one has a better screen, the Duet has a 10.1 inch 1920 by 1200, and Galaxy Tab has a 10.4 inch 2000 by 1200. They are both basically 1080 Pixel resolution. The Chromebook Duet actually has a brighter display and surprisingly has better viewing angles than the Galaxy Tab. If you want a better display, both of these tablets look really good whether you are watching videos playing games, or just browsing online.
Performance
| Chromebook Duet | Tab S6 Lite | |
| Processor | MediaTek Helio P60T | Exynos9611 |
| RAM | 4 GB RAM | 4 GB RAM |
| Internal storage | 64 / 128 GB | 64 GB |
| Storage expansion | No | Yes up to 1 tb |
| OS | Chrome OS | Android 10, One UI 2.0 |
When it comes to performance, they are fairly similar; the Duet has 4 Gigabytes of RAM the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has 4 Gigabytes of RAM. The Duet uses a Mediatek helio P60T Octa-core processor in the Galaxy Tab uses an Exynos9611 Octa-core processor. Pub G mobile is using HD graphics and high frame rates on both of these when it comes to gaming. Call of Duty Mobile uses medium graphic quality and medium frame rates, both tablets actually play pretty smooth, but if one needs to choose just one, it would probably be the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.
The fact that the Duet comes with a keyboard and a perfect keyboard is a huge advantage, especially if you will use this for productivity or if you just like a physical keyboard versus an on-screen keyboard. Now the Galaxy Tab does come with an S-Pen.
Camera
| Chromebook Duet | Tab S6 Lite | |
| Rear | 8 MP with autofocus | 8 MP with autofocus |
| Front | 2MP fixed-focus with LED indicator | 5 MP Primary Camera |
| Video recording | 1080p @ 30fps FHD | 1080p @ 30fps FHD |
It’s really close when it comes to the rear cameras; the Chromebook Duet may edge out the Samsung tablet, but it’s a toss-up now if you want to use one of these for something like Zoom meetings in the front-facing camera is important to you, then go with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Overall it’s just a lot better camera, plus Samsung does really good at smoothing out any imperfections that you might have with their software.
Multimedia
| Chromebook Duet | Tab S6 Lite | |
| Headphone jack | Yes 3.5 Jack | Yes 3.5 Jack |
| Audio | 2 x Dolby Audio™ speakers | Normal |
When it comes to speakers, this one really isn’t that close now they both have two speakers. The Galaxy Tab has one on each side where the Chromebook places both speakers right on top mainly because the keyboard attachment is at the bottom, but it just wasn’t even close when comparing these side-by-side. The Tab S6 Lite is really loud and even has some punch to it; even when pointing the Chromebook Duet speakers, it feels like only about 60 to 70 percent as loud as the Galaxy Tab, so it’s pretty obvious if you want the tablet with better speakers definitely goes with the Tab S6 Lite.
Battery Life
| Chromebook Duet | Tab S6 Lite | |
| Capacity | 7180 mAh | 7040mAh |
| Battery Backup Time | Up to 10 Hours | Up to 13 Hours |
When it comes to which one has better battery life, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has the better battery life now the Chromebook Duet did take about 3 hours and 20 minutes to charge completely versus 4 hours on the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, so it’s actually pretty similar on charging times. Still, if you want a tablet with better battery life, you should definitely go with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.
Connectivity
| Chromebook Duet | Tab S6 Lite | |
| Sim | No | No |
| Bluetooth | Yes | 4.2 |
| Wifi | 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac | 802.11AC (2 x 2) |
| Sensors | Proximity Accelerometer Gyroscope | Accelerometer Gyroscope |
Which is better!
In most categories, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is the better tablet compared to the Chromebook Duet. Duet is also not a bad tablet; it’s really nice, especially for the price and the fact they include the keyboard unless the keyboard is essential to you and using web-based apps.
