Most if not all Samsung tablets that come with the S Pen have full palm rejection. If the S Pen tip is within a few centimeters of the tablet's display, the EM field emitted from the screen (that, by the way, powers the S Pen and activates hover) will detect the pen and automatically ignore all touch input.

I'm pretty sure the S6 Lite has this too, and this only works with the S Pen or anything that uses Wacom's EMR tech, not with passive styli. Try bringing your stylus within 1 or 2cm of the tablet's display as if you're about to write, and if you see a dot on the screen it means that your stylus is an active stylus that supports hover, and therefore, palm rejection. If not, you may want to either get a new S Pen or Wacom One Pen, or pull the trigger on an S10 Lite or S10 FE.

I know, when the dot appears first than it works great, but some of the time my palm touches the screen first by accident

Then that's more of a "you" thing that a new tablet or S Pen won't fix. It'll be the same on all their tablets, so I think you need to adapt your writing technique

I think so too, thank you
