During an event in New York City, Samsung introduced its latest affordable phone, the Galaxy S24 FE, along with its new tablet lineup. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S10 Plus are the first flagship products in the U.S. to be powered by a MediaTek processor, bringing advanced Galaxy AI features to the tablet segment.
Building on the success of last year’s Tab S9 series, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Tab S10 Plus feature larger displays at 12.4-inch and 14.6-inch sizes, respectively. These tablets are impressively thin and lightweight, with a premium armor aluminum build that enhances their overall feel and quality.
Having had the opportunity to spend time with Samsung’s new tablets, I can say that while there may not be significant improvements over the previous generation, there are still some noteworthy enhancements worth mentioning.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra – A Premium Tablet Experience
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, with its large 14.6-inch display, offers a premium user experience. Both tablets boast a vibrant Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a dynamic refresh rate of 1Hz to 120Hz, delivering excellent visuals. The anti-reflective display on the Tab S10 Ultra is designed to reduce glare, providing a noteworthy feature for users.
The tablets’ large size makes them ideal for Samsung’s DeX mode, offering a desktop-like experience on the go. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is not a one-handed device due to its size but is still very portable and efficient when paired with a keyboard.
A Familiar Design and Impressive Camera Setup
The Tab S10 Ultra features a dual front-facing camera setup for enhanced video calls, while both tablets sport impressive rear camera arrays. Notable design improvements, like a slightly dipped magnetic docking station for the S Pen, add to the overall user experience.
Features such as IP68 dust and water resistance further enhance the appeal of the Galaxy Tab S10 series, setting them apart from competitors. The tablets also offer AI capabilities, delivering a unique user experience.
The Power of AI with MediaTek
The Galaxy Tab S10 series is powered by the MediaTek 9300+ processor, making it the first MediaTek flagship device in the U.S. This processor offers significant performance gains over its predecessors, ensuring efficient operation and improved battery life.
With features like live translation in 16 languages and AI-driven functionalities, the Galaxy Tab S10 series offers a unique user experience. The tablets are available for preorder now, with a launch date set for October 3rd. Despite their high price points, they deliver a compelling Android tablet experience.
