Design and Display: A Familiar Look
The leaked images showcase a classic Samsung design language: a sleek metallic chassis with flat edges, available in silver, blue, and dark grey. Notably, the rear camera bump has been replaced with a minimalist floating lens design, reminiscent of the iPad Air. Both tablets will be offered in Bluetooth-only and 5G-enabled variants.
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE is expected to feature a 10.9-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ boasts a larger 12.4-inch screen with a 2800 x 1752 pixel resolution, putting it in direct competition with Apple’s iPad Air.

Performance and Hardware: Exynos 1580 Takes Center Stage
Under the hood, both tablets are rumored to be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1580 processor. This 4nm octa-core chip features a 1+3+4 core cluster configuration, with a high-performance Arm Cortex-A720 core clocked at 2.9 GHz, three mid-tier Arm Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz, and four power-efficient Cortex-A520 cores. Graphics are handled by the Xclipse 540 GPU, which also supports up to 200MP image capture and 4K 60fps video recording. This is the same chipset found in the Galaxy A56 mid-range smartphone.

RAM and storage configurations will reportedly include 8GB or 12GB of RAM, paired with 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. A welcome addition is the inclusion of a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
Camera and Battery: Solid Specs
For photography, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series will reportedly sport a 13MP rear camera and a 12MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. The smaller Tab S10 FE is rumored to pack an 8,000 mAh battery, while the larger S10 FE+ may feature a 10,090 mAh battery, both with support for 45W fast charging.

Pricing: A Potential Concern
Perhaps the most significant concern raised by the leaks is the potential pricing. WinFuture suggests the Galaxy Tab S10 FE could start at €579 (approximately $630), while the S10 FE+ could be priced at €749 (roughly $815). This represents a significant price hike compared to the previous generation, with the Tab S9 FE starting at $450 and the S9 FE+ at $600. This aggressive pricing strategy puts the new tablets in direct competition with other powerful and more affordable options like the OnePlus Pad 2, which offers a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and a 120Hz OLED display for $500.

Conclusion: A Promising, but Potentially Pricey Offering
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and S10 FE+ appear to be promising additions to the tablet market, offering a sleek design, large displays, and solid hardware. However, the rumored pricing could be a significant barrier to entry, especially considering the competition. It remains to be seen whether Samsung can justify the price increase with compelling features and performance. We’ll have to wait for the official launch to get the full picture and determine whether these new tablets can live up to the hype.
