The most iconic tablet in the world is the Apple iPad. There’s no doubt about that. Things are less iconic on the Android side of life, but if you’re looking for the most powerful tablets that you can get that run on the Android operating system, you shouldn’t be looking anywhere other than the Galaxy Tab S series.
This year, we’re expecting to see the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra, with no vanilla model, and that seems to have just been confirmed by the latest leak from Android Headlines. The leak also comes with images of the upcoming devices and demystifies the specs. Plus, another leaker has given us a glimpse into pricing. Let’s talk about it.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus Is The New Base Model, Starts At $999
Since there’s no base Tab S10 intended for this year, you’re going to have to make do with the Tab S10 Plus if you want the cheapest option. Speaking of cheap, let’s jump right into talking about the price. Thanks to Roland Quandt on X, we know that the Tab S10+ is expected to start at $999 for the 256GB model and jump to $1,119 for the 512GB variant. That’s $80 cheaper than last year’s 512GB option though, so good news.
The Tab S10+ has equal bezels all around — not too thin, not too chunky — and a horizontally oriented Samsung logo, S Pen groove, and dual-camera setup on the upper edge of the back panel. The display is a 12.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X “anti-reflection” panel. This means Gorilla Glass Armor, or something like it, could be making its tablet debut.
It’ll come with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage (with a microSD slot), the chip that will be inside it is still a mystery — admittedly, that’s the part I wanted to know the most. It’ll also have a large 10,090 mAh battery. There’s a 13MP + 8MP ultrawide combo on the back, and a single 12MP camera on the front.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra Brings More Premium Features To The Mix
The Tab S10 Ultra looks more premium the moment you see it, from the bigger footprint to the slimmer bezels, to the dual-camera setup in its notch. Besides that, it is easy to tell both are from the same family. The S10 Ultra has a massive 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x “anti-reflection” display, and that notch houses two 12MP cameras. On the back side is the same 13MP + 8MP setup.
The battery gets even larger here, at 11,200 mAh, making good use of the extra volume. You’ll be able to get this device specced up to a 16GB/1TB configuration, and yes, the microSD slot still remains. It’ll be 0.2mm thinner than the Tab S10+, at 5.4mm. It’ll also come with Wi-Fi 7 support.
The New Tablets Will Likely Be Arriving Next Month
There hasn’t been any confirmation of when Samsung’s new flagship tablets will come out, but considering the way the leaks are starting to pour out, it is clear we’re going to see them relatively soon.
Both tablets will be available in Moonstone Gray and Platinum Silver colorways, and of course, a lot of Galaxy AI magic will make its way to the devices. I’m excited for them to be unveiled in full.
