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.
