Samsung’s Mid-Range Tablet Gains iPad Pro-Like Specs

Samsung’s forthcoming mid-range Android tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and S10 FE Plus, are anticipated to debut around mid-2025. As the launch date approaches, rumors and leaked information are beginning to emerge. A recent leak suggests the dimensions of these devices, indicating that the larger model may rival tablets in higher tiers, such as the iPad Pro.

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE is expected to maintain its predecessor’s 10.9-inch display, as mentioned by trusted leaker Roland Quandt in a post on Bluesky, a platform similar to Elon Musk’s X. In contrast, the more robust Tab S10 FE Plus will feature an upgraded 13.1-inch display, putting it on level with other premium options like the iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro, both of which have at least one model featuring a 13-inch screen.

Samsung has a history of producing tablets with impressively large displays. The latest flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, boasts a gigantic 14-inch display. However, this substantial display size seems unusual for a mid-range device. It even surpasses the previous generation model—the Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, which had a generous 12.4-inch screen. In our review last year, we found that the screen size and the somewhat elongated aspect ratio were the only drawbacks of an otherwise commendable tablet.

While Quandt provided insights into the upcoming tablet sizes, details such as screen resolutions, refresh rates, and the technology behind them were notably absent. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus came equipped with a 12.4-inch LCD display that featured a 90Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels. For its successor, Samsung may maintain similar specifications in the display unless they opt for significant enhancements.

Additional specifics regarding the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus remain unclear, but a leak from January suggested that both tablets will utilize an Exynos 1580 processor, providing a performance level that is fairly average. This same chip is also expected to be featured in the Galaxy A56, a mid-range smartphone set to launch next week.

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus are anticipated to be unveiled alongside Samsung’s foldable devices later this year, leaving a bit of time before their official release.
