Samsung unveiled its latest tablets a few days ago alongside the Galaxy S24 FE, but this time there are only two: the 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S10+ and the 14.6-in Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.
Samsung skipped the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S10 and you can see why: there’s quite a dramatic size difference between the Tab S10 Ultra and the Tab S10+.
The Galaxy tab S10 Ultra next to the S10+
This is Samsung’s largest (and best) tablet yet is not dramatically better than its predecessor. It’s a bit lighter, which is always nice, but most of the upgrades come down to the new chipset, which in itself is probably the biggest story here: this is the first time Samsung has offered its Ultra tablet with a MediaTek.
Specifically, it’s the Dimensity 9300+ – built on TSMC’s a 3rd generation 4nm process and equipped with a CPU with four Cortex-X4s (one at 3.4 GHz, three more at 2.85 GHz), so you’re looking at a speed increase of 18% compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the Tab S9 Ultra.
The promised graphics improvement is even more impressive – 28% – while the new NPU is 14% faster. The silicon upgrade opens the floor for the AI tricks that all the new top galaxies possess, including Circle to Search, Sketch to Image, and Note Assist.
AI smart
The 14.6-inch 1848x2960px screen is beautiful. It is the size of a laptop, has a slightly higher aspect ratio of 16:10 and offers an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz and HDR10+. The screen is coated against reflections and this is immediately noticeable and appreciated.
Like its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra brings an S Pen in the box. The S Pen takes advantage of the Tab S10 Ultra’s huge canvas for productivity and creativity. It has an integrated button that opens the S Pen menu. We think getting a keyboard case with this tablet is a must, not only to keep it afloat, but also to unleash its potential – you can easily get some serious work done on this machine!
Samsung sells two keyboards for its Tab S10 series – the one you see below is the €230 Book Cover Slim – it attaches magnetically and has a quality keyboard with F1-F12 function keys, integrated S Pen storage and an AI button . You can upgrade to the $390 Book Cover keyboard. It has a glass trackpad, backlighting, more customizability, and detaches from the tablet for a more comfortable experience.
The keyboard case is a must-have with this tablet
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is on sale now and you can get a free Book Cover Slim in some European markets. The base 12/256GB model costs €1,339/£1,199/$1,199/INR 108,999. In most markets you also have a choice of 12/512 GB and 16 GB/1 TB.
