Samsung’s New Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra Official at $999
Samsung is having itself a new product week and has not only announced the Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy Watch FE, they unveiled new tablets too. The Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra are official with big screens, new chipsets, and big prices.
These new tablets will sort-of replace the Galaxy Tab S9 line, which is only a year old. And unfortunately for those who like the smaller, non-plus variants of Samsung tablets, we are not getting that this year.
So what’s new? Well, it’s mostly talk of AI out of Samsung’s camp, which is pretty snoozy stuff and not that important or useful. Instead, let’s talk specs, as these have big specs and some noteworthy changes too.
Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra / Galaxy Tab S10+ Specs
I think the biggest change there is the switch from Snapdragon to a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+. We are so used to seeing Samsung use top tier chips from Qualcomm in its best tablets, so we’ll be interested to see how these truly perform. In their press release, Samsung suggests “more than 18% increase in CPU, 28% increase in GPU, and 14% increase in NPU compared to Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.” Those are certainly impressive gains from last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.
We also have massive Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays in both units with anti-reflective coating, quad speakers, and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating. That IP rating might be one of the most important specs of all, especially if you use your tablet while on the go or in settings that it could see some wetness.
As for the AI stuff, Samsung is talking about Circle to Search, note taking summaries, handwriting help, image editing or creative tools, etc. It’s pretty standard AI-related features from what I can tell.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra starts at $1,199.99 with 256GB storage, while the Galaxy Tab S10+ starts at $999 with the same storage. Pre-orders are open today with devices hitting stores on October 3.
As a part of the launch, Samsung is taking up to $800 off via trade-ins.
