Samsung's latest high-end tablet, the Galaxy Tab S10+, offers impressive hardware but comes with a hefty price tag that may give potential buyers pause.
The Galaxy Tab S10+ boasts a stunning 12.4-inch AMOLED display with a 2800 x 1752 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for media consumption and gaming. Powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ processor, the tablet delivers solid performance for most tasks.
Key features include:
- 256GB or 512GB storage options, expandable via microSD
- S Pen stylus included
- 13MP main + 8MP ultrawide rear cameras, 12MP front camera
- Android 14 with One UI 6.1.1 and Samsung DeX
While the hardware impresses, the $1,000 starting price puts the Tab S10+ in direct competition with Apple's iPad Pro. Unfortunately, Android's tablet experience still lags behind iPadOS in some areas:
- Limited pro-level app support compared to iPad
- Inconsistent desktop website rendering in browsers
- Pre-installed bloatware and ads for paid apps
For users firmly in the Android ecosystem who want a premium tablet experience, the Galaxy Tab S10+ delivers. However, more casual users may find better value in mid-range options like the OnePlus Pad or Pixel Tablet at half the price.
Ultimately, the Galaxy Tab S10+ is a capable device held back by its high cost and some software limitations. Those considering it should weigh their needs carefully against more affordable alternatives or competing pro-grade tablets.
