Galaxy Tab S10 May Launch Late 2024 with Only Two Models

Samsung is set to revamp its premium tablet lineup with the introduction of the Tab S10 series, which will see the elimination of the base 11″ model. Instead, the focus will shift to the Tab S10 Plus (12.4″) and Tab S10 Ultra (14.6″). The timing of this release remains uncertain. Recently, Samsung unveiled several new products at the second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year, including the sixth generation Galaxy foldable, the Galaxy Watch 7 series, and the redesigned Galaxy Buds 3 series. However, the Galaxy Tab S10 series was notably absent from the event.

Tab S10 Series Expected Before Year-End

A representative from Samsung South Africa has confirmed that “there will be a Tab S10 series,” which is anticipated to launch before the end of this year. For context, the Tab S9 series was launched in July of the previous year. Unfortunately, no additional information about the new tablets was disclosed.

The decision to discontinue the smallest variant may be aimed at enhancing specifications and better competing with Apple’s offerings.

Anticipated Features

Samsung is known for its high-quality AMOLED panels and sleek designs, typically powered by a flagship Snapdragon chipset. The upcoming tablets are also expected to include some Galaxy AI features. Although rumors and a Geekbench listing suggest that Samsung will use the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset for the Tab S10 series, we can look at the specifications of the predecessor to get an idea of what to expect.

The Tab S9+ and Tab S9 Ultra both feature an aluminum frame and back, supporting nano SIM and eSIM. They offer Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels, measuring 12.4″ and 14.6″ respectively, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. The Tab S9+ comes in 256GB 12GB RAM and 512GB 12GB RAM configurations, while the Ultra model adds 1TB 12GB RAM and 1TB 16GB RAM variants.

In terms of camera capabilities, both models feature a 13MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide camera on the back, along with a 12MP front camera for video calls. The tablets support Wireless Samsung DeX via the USB C 3.2 port. The Plus and Ultra models are equipped with 10090mAh and 11200mAh batteries, respectively, and support 45W wired charging. Below are the pricing details for all storage variants of the Tab S9 series models at launch.

This tablet has recently appeared on the UAE’s TDRA certification website, indicating a potential global release in tandem with the Chinese launch.

Bluegen OKPad dual-screen tablet with IPS & E-Ink displays

OKPad, a novel dual-screen tablet from Bluegen, has initiated its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. This innovative gadget features an 8.9-inch IPS LCD display paired with a 7.8-inch E Ink screen, blending the best of both worlds for entertainment and productivity.

OKPad Specifications:

The IPS LCD screen is designed for typical tablet activities, while the E-Ink display, known for its paper-like texture and reduced eye strain, is perfect for reading, note-taking, and sketching. Both screens support touch functionality, and the E-Ink display offers 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, delivering a natural writing experience with the included Wacom stylus.

The tablet includes a 360-degree hinge, enabling smooth transitions between different modes. You can fold it like a traditional laptop for work or presentations, set it in tent mode for comfortable reading, or flip the screens entirely for a dedicated E-Reader experience.

Versatile Design and Performance

The OKPad is equipped with a durable 7000mAh battery, expandable storage, and a dedicated button for easy switching between displays. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series processor, supported by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, which might seem modest for a device launching in 2024.

The tablet also features an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera to cover basic photo and video needs. Running on Android 10, the slightly older operating system could be a deliberate choice for better software optimization with the E-Ink display, as eReaders often lag in adopting the latest Android updates. The age of the processor might also restrict future software upgrades.

For connectivity, the OKPad includes WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2. The device sports a sturdy aluminum alloy body, stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Pricing and Availability

Bluegen’s Kickstarter campaign for the OKPad offers several pricing tiers: the Super Early Bird special at $199 for the first 100 backers (50% off), followed by the Early Bird price of $249 for the next 200 backers (around 38% off), and a Kickstarter Special at $299 (about 25% off). Each tier offers significant savings compared to the regular price of $399. The company anticipates starting shipments in August 2024.
