Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 series is gaining attention as rumors about the upcoming devices are circulating online.
According to a recent leak by Naver source yeux1122, Samsung is contemplating a dual-AP approach for the Galaxy Tab S10 lineup. Traditionally, Samsung's premium tablets and foldable phones have relied on Snapdragon system-on-chips (SoCs).
Possible Chipset Configurations
While specifics remain limited, there is speculation that the base Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S10+ might feature Samsung's Exynos 2400 processor, mirroring the strategy seen with the Galaxy S24 series. On the other hand, the flagship Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra could potentially be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
Regional Chipset Variations
Samsung is also considering implementing region-specific chipset variations for its upcoming tablets, following a similar approach seen in its smartphones. This could mean that markets like the US, China, and Japan may receive Galaxy Tab S10 series devices equipped with Snapdragon chips.
Cost-Saving Measures and Performance Enhancements
The shift towards incorporating Exynos chips in select tablet models could serve as a significant cost-saving measure for Samsung. Reports suggest that the company spent approximately $8.87 billion on mobile processors last year. Leveraging its in-house Exynos division could prove to be a strategic business decision.
Additionally, the larger form factor of tablets allows for improved thermal management, potentially addressing any performance concerns traditionally associated with Exynos chips.
Expected Launch and Product Lineup
Recent regulatory filings hint at a potential July launch for the Galaxy Tab S10 series tablets, alongside other devices like the Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Watch7 series, and Galaxy Ring.
