Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 series has arrived: Specs, pricing, availability, colors, and more

Samsung has officially taken the wraps off the Galaxy Tab S10 series, along with the Galaxy S24 FE, and there’s a lot to unpack (heh). This year, the Galaxy Tab lineup has been streamlined, with just two models on offer: the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. The base Galaxy Tab S10 is missing for now, and it’s unclear whether it’ll make a later debut or if Samsung has decided to skip it entirely.

Galaxy Tab S10 series: Design and display

The design of the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and S10 Ultra will feel familiar to anyone who has seen last year’s models. Both tablets feature a sleek metal back with a vertically stacked dual-camera system, a magnetic strip for the S Pen attachment, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. They are available in two colors: Moonstone Gray and Platinum Silver.

While maintaining a similar aesthetic, the new tablets offer subtle refinements in size and weight. The Tab S10 Ultra measures 208.6 x 326.4 x 5.4mm and weighs between 718g (Wi-Fi) and 723g (5G), while the Tab S10 Plus comes in at 185.4 x 285.4 x 5.6mm and weighs between 571g (Wi-Fi) and 576g (5G). For anyone counting, that’s about 10 grams lighter and about 0.1mm thinner than last year’s lineup.

The Ultra still sports that massive 14.6-inch notched AMOLED display, while the Plus sticks with its 12.4-inch screen. Both screens feature a 120Hz refresh rate. But there’s a fresh trick up their sleeve this year: both tablets now feature “Anti-Reflection” technology, which should help when using the tablet outdoors or in brightly lit rooms.

Galaxy Tab S10 series: What’s on the inside

Let’s round off the rest of the specs that haven’t changed from last year, which includes the camera setups. Both tablets have a 13-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel ultrawide on the back, which is consistent with the Tab S9 series. The Ultra’s notch houses two 12-megapixel front-facing cameras (wide and ultrawide), while the Plus gets a single 12-megapixel ultrawide selfie camera.

Battery capacities haven’t changed either: 10,090mAh for the Tab S10 Plus and 11,200mAh for the Tab S10 Ultra. Both tablets still support 45W fast charging and come with a bundled S Pen. The big internal change this year is the chipset.

For the Galaxy Tab S10 series, the company has swapped out the Snapdragon chips for MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 Plus, which is a bit of a curveball. Samsung is claiming that the new processor delivers significant upgrades across CPU, GPU, and NPU performance for both tablets compared to the Tab S9 series. Stay tuned for our detailed reviews to see how these tablets performs in real-world situations.

The Galaxy Tab S10 series runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1 on top. Samsung is pushing its Galaxy AI features hard this year, and the Tab S10 series is no exception. You’ll get Circle to Search, Note Assist for summarizing text, and Sketch to Image for turning your doodles into art. In fact, the official keyboard covers for the Tab S10 series now even have a dedicated Galaxy AI key. Much like the Windows Copilot key, this new button gives you instant access to Samsung’s AI assistant.

Galaxy Tab S10 series: Pricing and availability

If you were worried about a price hike, you can breathe easy — Samsung is keeping the price tags the same as last year. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus starts at $999.99 for the 256GB model, whereas the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra costs $1,199.99 for the 256GB version. And if you’re someone who needs all the storage and RAM, there’s a new high-end Ultra model with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, too. Just a heads up — none of the Ultra models offer mmWave 5G connectivity.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Ultra are going on pre-order today and will be available starting October 3.
