The anticipated mid-range Android tablets from Samsung, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and FE Plus, are rumored to launch in mid-2025. While their release is still months away, leaks are already surfacing, offering glimpses into potential specifications, particularly concerning display sizes. One prominent leak suggests the larger model may even rival tablets in a higher tier, including the iPad Pro.
According to reliable leaker Roland Quandt, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE will maintain the 10.9-inch display size of its predecessor. However, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus is expected to receive a significant upgrade, boasting a 13.1-inch display. This larger screen puts it in direct competition with tablets like the iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro, both of which offer 13-inch display variants.

Samsung has a history of producing tablets with large displays, evidenced by the 14-inch screen on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, its previous flagship tablet. Even so, a 13.1-inch screen on a mid-range tablet is noteworthy. It’s a significant increase from the 12.4-inch display of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus. While the Tab S9 FE Plus’s expansive display was generally well-received, its size and aspect ratio were sometimes considered less than ideal.

While Quandt disclosed the potential display sizes, other details remain unknown. Information regarding resolution, refresh rate, and display technology for the Tab S10 FE and FE Plus is still scarce. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus featured a 12.4-inch LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels. It remains to be seen if Samsung will maintain similar specifications or implement upgrades for the new models.
Performance and Availability
Beyond display sizes, information about the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and FE Plus is limited. However, a previous leak suggests both tablets may be powered by the Exynos 1580 chip, also expected to feature in the upcoming mid-range Galaxy A56 smartphone. This suggests a performance level consistent with other mid-range devices.
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus are anticipated to launch alongside Samsung’s foldable phones later this year. While details are still emerging, the potential for larger displays positions these tablets as compelling options in the mid-range segment.
