Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Tab S10+ land as Samsung’s first AI tablets

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 series is now official, and it includes Samsung’s inaugural slates that are purpose-built for AI, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S10+. They bring the whole Galaxy AI set of features to the big-screen realm, and come with S Pen stylus to make the most out of it.

Samsung’s first AI tablets

The monster 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and 12.4-inch Tab S10+ come with a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and offers an 18% increase in CPU, 28% in GPU, and 14% in neural processing speeds when compared to the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Samsung uses the increase in processing power to enhance artificial intelligence feature performance, as there is now even a dedicated Galaxy AI Key on the Book Cover Keyboard accessory that can be used to customize the AI assistant at will. The AI-powered Note Assist and Drawing Assist features of Samsung that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series have been optimized for the larger tablet display. 

The Galaxy Tab S10 series is the first tablet built with AI enhancements available right out of the box, and it’s the latest addition to the Galaxy AI family. We’re proud to add to our seamless ecosystem of connected devices, bringing versatile experiences that only an AI tablet can offer through the Galaxy Tab S10 series’ blend of power and portability.

Another exclusive Galaxy Tab S10 series feature allows them to serve as a “home AI device” as the 3D Map View option pinpoints all SmartThings connected devices around with visual cues, too.

With large screen-optimized features such as 3D Map View, it’s easy to see and take control of SmartThings-enabled devices via the SmartThings widget. That means switching off the TV and lowering the lights from the table when it’s dinner time, turning up the air conditioning without getting off the couch, or getting notified when someone leaves the refrigerator door open — all on one powerful device. Users can also enable SmartThings Energy and AI Energy Mode to easily monitor their devices’ energy consumption. Galaxy AI doesn’t just enhance life on the go, it also takes the stress out of home life.

Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and S10+ design and specs

The S10 series tablets are made of durable Armor Aluminum alloy and sport a quad-speaker audio setup that Samsung now offers with AI-enhanced Dialogue Boost that singles out voices over ambient sounds when needed.

Samsung waxes poetic about the long-lasting battery life and Super-Fast Charging (read: 45W) as well as the Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays’ lively yet natural colors that are easily viewed outdoors as well.

The excellent anti-reflective coating seems directly borrowed from the S24 series

We tend to agree with the latter, as the Tab S10 series includes the same excellent anti-reflective technology found on the Galaxy S24 series that is probably the best such coating among peers, as it minimizes glare and reflections when outside.

Last year’s Samsung Galaxy Tab edition started at $999 or $1200 and the S10 series follow. This is not a bad pricing for a giant 15-inch slate that will on top of that now sport everything that Galaxy AI has to offer, along with a faster chipset, so it remains to be seen how the S10 Ultra will fare in the marketplace.
