What specs and features does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE series have?
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE series sits in between the budget Tab A9 and premium Tab S10 series, and that’s reflected in the specs.
There are two models once again this year – the Tab S10 FE and S10 FE+ – though there are some significant differences between them.
Display size is the big one. While both devices have 90Hz IPS LCD panels, the Plus gets a 13.1-inch panel that’s much bigger than its predecessor’s 12.4-inch screen, and in line with the larger iPad Air . Meanwhile, the regular model sticks at 10.9-inches, matching the standard iPad .
Battery capacity also varies. The Tab S10 FE has an 8000mAh cell, while the S10 FE+ boosts that to 10090mAh. Both offer 45W wired charging, provided you have a compatible charger. The Plus’s larger footprint also makes it heavier, coming in at at least 664g as opposed to 497g on the regular Tab S10 FE.

However, pretty much all of the other specs are shared. That includes Samsung’s own Exynos 1580 chipset, also found in the Galaxy A56 phone, plus either 8- or 12GB of RAM and 128- or 256GB of storage. The latter supports expansion via a Micro-SD card.
Both tablets also boast a flagship-level IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. And a version of Samsung’s S Pen stylus is included in the box, though it matches the Galaxy S25 Ultra in not supporting Bluetooth.
They ship running Samsung’s One UI 7 over Android 15 , complete with the full range of Galaxy AI features, plus Google’s Gemini and Circle to Search functionality. Just like its flagship tablets, Samsung is committing to seven years of OS and security updates.
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ look like compelling options on paper. Look out for our full reviews soon to see how they compare to the best tablets you can buy right now.
