Streamlined Lineup
According to the leaked information, Samsung may be moving away from offering a base model in the S10 series. Instead, the focus seems to be on the Plus and Ultra variants, potentially catering to users who prefer larger displays and more premium features.
Familiar Design Language
The leaked marketing images suggest that the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus will maintain a design similar to its predecessor, the Tab S9 Plus. This includes:
- A vertical dual-camera array on the rear
- A front-facing camera integrated into the bezel
- Available color options of silver and graphite, dropping the beige option from last year
The Ultra model is distinguishable by its display notch, hinting at potentially advanced front-facing camera capabilities.

- The Plus model may feature a 12-inch display
- The Ultra variant is rumored to boast a 14.6-inch screen
- Both models are expected to retain 45W fast charging capabilities
- Battery capacities may be similar to last year's models (10,090mAh for Plus, 11,200mAh for Ultra)
Launch Timeline
Samsung has officially stated that the new tablets will launch later this year. However, industry rumors point to an October release, potentially alongside the Galaxy S24 FE smartphone.
While these leaks provide an interesting preview, it's important to remember that official details may differ. As we approach the launch date, more concrete information is likely to emerge about Samsung's latest tablet offerings.
Update: Thursday August 22 04:58
A significant change reported for the Galaxy Tab S10 series is the potential use of MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ SoC, marking a departure from Samsung's traditional use of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips in the Galaxy Tab S series. This processor shift could impact performance and efficiency. Additionally, the color options for the new tablets are expected to be limited to Silver and Graphite, dropping the beige option from the previous generation. The leak also suggests that while the tablets will support 45W fast charging, the charger may be sold separately, which could affect the out-of-box experience for users.
