Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE: Release Date, Price & Specs Rumours

Samsung’s Fan Edition (FE) tablets have become a reliable choice for those seeking a budget-friendly alternative to the premium Galaxy Tab series.

Following the success of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, it seems the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is on the horizon. Still, I can’t help but feel slightly underwhelmed by the leaks I’ve heard so far.

Here’s everything we know so far about the release date, price, and expected features of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE.

When will the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE series be released?

Samsung has yet to officially announce a release date for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. However, there are signs that it could launch relatively soon.

Back in November 2024, the company unintentionally confirmed the existence of this new tablet. As per GalaxyClub’s report, a promotion on Samsung’s US website offering a one-year Goodnotes subscription for Tab S10 and Tab S10 FE buyers specifies the deal is valid for devices purchased and activated by 31 July 2025. This all but confirms that the Tab S10 FE will hit the market well before that date.

Since then, yet another clue has emerged (via MySmartPrice), albeit a minor one. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has certified the batteries for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, indicating that the tablet will be available in India. The dual battery system for the device is associated with the model numbers EB-BX526ABE and EB-BX526ABY.

This certification doesn’t provide further details about the mid-range tablet, but Samsung’s earlier slip-up referred to the “Galaxy Tab S10 FE series”, suggesting that there may be at least two models in the lineup.

Additionally, as per the widely-trusted Xpertpick, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ was certified by the FCC in March 2025, confirming the tablet is fast approaching.

Now, GSMArena reports that a Dutch retailer is already selling both the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ in Wi-Fi and cellular models, with deliveries listed at 5-7 business days. This suggests the official launch is likely to happen next week (the first week of April 2025).

Looking at Samsung’s history, the Tab S7 FE launched in June 2021, while the Tab S9 FE debuted in October 2023. This inconsistent timeline makes predictions tricky, but mid-2025 looks pretty likely.

How much will the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE series cost?

Pricing for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is yet to be confirmed, but if Samsung follows its usual strategy, the tablet should target mid-range Android tablet buyers.

The Tab S9 FE was priced at $449/£449 for the base Wi-Fi-only model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with the same-spec FE+ version starting at £599/$599.

Ytechb reports that the Galaxy Tab S10 FE (Wi-Fi only) will come in 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB versions, priced at $499 and $569, respectively. The S10 FE+ will offer the same configurations but at higher prices of $649 and $749. These prices apply to the non-cellular variants.

A newer report from the reliable WinFuture outlines European pricing, where the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is expected to start at €579 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model, rising to €679 for the 5G version. The 256GB Wi-Fi model is expected to cost €629, while the cellular variant of the same storage jumps to €729.

The larger Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ should start at €749 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model, with the 5G cellular version with 256GB storage could be priced at €779.

The indications are that compared to the previous generation, the S10 FE series is expected to see a small price increase. However, neither report mentions UK pricing.

What specs and features will the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE series have?

While official details remain sparse, rumours and leaks give us a good idea of what to expect from the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series.

Design

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE series is likely to maintain the sleek and minimalist design language of its predecessors.

WinFuture shared high-quality renders of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and the S10 FE+, confirming that their design remains nearly identical to the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, including retaining the IP68 rating.

Ytechb also shared very similar-looking renders, revealing that both tablets will come in Grey, Silver, and Blue.

Following renders above, Ytechb reports that Samsung has seemingly leaked cases for the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ on its website ahead of the tablet’s official launch.

The case, a Smart Book Cover in an orange two-tone design, includes a kickstand, detachable sections, and an S Pen holder. It’s priced at $124.99.

Additionally, according to well-known leaker Anthony on X, it may feature the new Galaxy AI button found on the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra.

Display

Samsung’s FE tablets have traditionally used LCD panels rather than the AMOLED displays found in premium models. As such, the Tab S10 FE series is likely to feature a vibrant LCD screen as well.

Roland Quandt reports that the Galaxy Tab S10 FE will feature a 10.9-inch screen, maintaining the same size as its predecessor. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ will come with a larger display than the Tab S9 FE+, measuring 13.1 inches instead of 12.4 inches.

WinFuture confirms the increase in display size and also claims the screen has a resolution of 2880×1800.

The Tab S10 FE will feature a 10.9-inch IPS LCD with 2304 × 1440 resolution, while the Tab S10 FE+ will get a larger 13.1-inch display with 2880 × 1800 resolution – an upgrade from the 12.4-inch screen on the previous FE+.

The displays on both tablets will support a 90Hz refresh rate, offer up to 800 nits of peak brightness, and support Samsung’s S Pen stylus (included in the box).

Performance

According to GizmoChina, Android Authority and WinFuture, both the Tab S10 FE and S10 FE+ will be powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset, a step up from the Exynos 1380 used in the Tab S9 FE series.

This chipset can currently be found in the Samsung Galaxy A56 mid-range smartphone. While it’s it’s a reasonably capable runner for a mid-range smartphone (especially if you opt for 12GB of RAM), I can’t help but feel this isn’t enough oomph for a tablet.

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE appeared on Geekbench (with model number SM-X526B), confirming the Exynos 1580 processor and 8GB RAM (with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage options). It scored 1,349 in the single-core test and 3,882 in the multi-core test, marking a 33-41% performance boost over its predecessor.

WinFuture and Roland Quandt also claim that both models will feature up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, expandable via microSD. Additionally, Xpertpick reports the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series will be available in both Wi-Fi-only and 5G models.

However, leaker Anthony suggests in a post on X that the series could feature the Exynos 2400e chipset, though this is not based on any concrete evidence.

Cameras

A notable upgrade for the Tab S10 FE series is the primary camera, which will (according to GalaxyClub and WinFuture) feature a 13Mp sensor, up from the 8Mp camera in the Tab S9 FE.

This should enhance photo and video quality, making it better suited for casual photography and video calls. Xpertpick and WinFuture also report that it will feature a 12Mp front-facing camera.

Battery & Charging

As per the same Xpertpick report, FCC and 3C certifications confirm that the Tab S10 FE will feature 45W wired charging. WinFuture adds that battery capacities remain unchanged, with 8,000mAh for the smaller model and 10,090mAh for the larger one.

As a reminder, the Tab S9 FE featured an 8000mAh battery and 45W charging support, while the S9 FE+ has a 10,090mAh cell with the same 45W charging.

Software

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE will likely ship with Samsung’s One UI 7 skin over Android 15, offering a user-friendly interface and access to Samsung’s productivity features.

Judging by the Samsung website, US buyers will likely be able to enjoy a one-year free subscription to Goodnotes, enhancing the device’s appeal for note-taking and productivity.

It’s unclear at this stage whether Samsung will improve on the Tab S9 FE‘s commitment to four major OS updates and five years of security patches. For context, the Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra offer seven years of both.
