After months of speculation and leaks, Samsung has officially launched its Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, designed for users who seek a premium experience without the high-end price tag. While these tablets lack an AMOLED display and flagship SoC, they still deliver a near-identical software experience to the more expensive Galaxy Tab S10+.
Key Differences Between Galaxy Tab S10 FE and S10 FE+
The major difference between the two models lies in display size:
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE: 10.9-inch LCD panel (2,380 x 1,440) with a 90Hz refresh rate.
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE+: Larger 13.1-inch LCD panel (2,880 x 1,800), making it the biggest FE tablet yet.
Both models promise seven years of software updates, ensuring longevity and future-proofing.
Camera and Performance Upgrades
Unlike previous FE models, both tablets feature the same camera setup:
- 13 MP rear camera
- 12 MP selfie camera
Samsung removed the second rear sensor from the Plus model, recognizing that photography isn’t a key focus for tablets. Instead, the larger display takes center stage.
Powering both devices is the Exynos 1580 SoC, also found in the Galaxy A56. Battery life is solid with:
- 8,000 mAh battery (Tab S10 FE)
- 10,000 mAh battery (Tab S10 FE+)
- 45W fast charging on both models
Storage and RAM configurations include:
- Up to 12GB RAM
- Up to 256GB storage (expandable via microSD up to 2TB)
Premium Features Without the Premium Price
Despite being budget-friendly, the new FE tablets include several high-end features:
- S Pen support (comes in-box and magnetically attaches to the back)
- Bluetooth LE support
- IP68 water and dust resistance
- Stereo speakers
- Side-mounted fingerprint scanner
Pricing and Availability
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE starts at $549
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ starts at $749
These prices apply to the Wi-Fi-only models with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Pre-orders are live now, with official availability beginning April 10. Color options include Grey, Silver, and Blue.
With its competitive pricing and strong feature set, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series aims to be the go-to choice for users seeking a premium tablet experience at a fraction of the cost.
