Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, marking the latest additions to its premium Android tablet lineup. However, Samsung decided to omit the 11-inch variant from this generation, leaving only the 12.4-inch Plus and 14.6-inch Ultra models.
Key Highlights:
- Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ Chipset: This marks the first time Samsung’s Tab S series uses a MediaTek processor. The Dimensity 9300+ is built on TSMC’s 4nm process and features one Cortex-X4 core at 3.4GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 2.85GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.0GHz. This provides an 18% CPU performance increase over the previous generation’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Immortalis-G720 GPU offers a 28% boost in graphics performance, and the NPU is 14% more efficient.
- Memory & Storage: Both tablets start with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, expandable via microSD. The S10 Ultra model has an option for 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, ideal for those needing extensive multitasking capabilities.
- Build and Design: Both tablets retain IP68 water and dust resistance and are made from enhanced Armor Aluminum. Impressively, the tablets are now 0.1mm thinner and around 15g lighter than their predecessors, without compromising durability.
