Samsung has started teasing the launch of the Galaxy Tab S6 in India. The company posted a "coming soon" teaser on its Samsung India social media accounts, suggesting that the flagship tablet will arrive in the country soon enough. The Galaxy Tab S6 first went official in August touting a Snapdragon 855 SoC along with a new S Pen and an in-display fingerprint sensor, among other things. 

The Galaxy Tab S6 is a high-end tablet as it brings flagship features that one expects to see in a 2019 tablet. The Galaxy Tab S6 will look to take on the iPad Pro by offering an attractive entertainment device that doubles up as a powerful productivity tablet. The Tab S6 gets a magnetic strip on the metal rear panel that allows you to magnetically attach and charge the S Pen.

The Tab S6 sports a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED WQXGA display with narrow bezels all around similar to the Tab S4 last year. 

There is no home button or a side fingerprint sensor this time around as the Tab S6 gets an in-display fingerprint sensor. The tablet gets quad speakers and Dolby Atmos support, but lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. 

Galaxy Tab S6 is powered by a 7nm octa-core Snapdragon 855 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It is unclear whether Samsung will launch multiple memory and storage versions of the Tab S6 in India. 

The tablet houses a 7,040mAh battery, which will deliver around 15 hours of usage as per the company. The S Pen for the Tab S6 comes with Bluetooth LE much like the S Pen on the Galaxy Note 10. It allows you to use the stylus to perform certain actions like taking selfies or controlling media and presentations like a remote. 

The Tab S6 also comes with a new and improved Samsung DeX. It has included a a dedicated DeX key to the Tab S6 Book Cover Keyboard, allowing you to enable DeX mode with a single tap. 

Samsung will soon launch the Tab S6 in India, though an exact date is still unknown. There is no word on pricing just yet. The Tab S6 starts at USD 649 (approx Rs 45,000) in the US, so its India pricing could be in the same ballpark.
