In short
Get the Galaxy Tab S10+ if you want a 12.4-inch AMOLED tablet with an S Pen that still has Bluetooth, and you can buy it for less than a newer Tab S11. It runs a Dimensity 9300+ with 12GB of RAM, carries IP68 for tablet and pen, and has a 10,090 mAh battery. If 11 inches is enough, the current Tab S11 is brighter, and its list price is below the S10+'s launch price.
Who it is for
- People who want more screen than Tab S11 without an Ultra's weight. The S10+ weighs 571 grams to the Tab S10 Ultra's 718.
- Anyone who clicks through slides or triggers shortcuts with the S Pen. This pen still has Bluetooth.
- Shoppers buying discounted or refurbished who want a big AMOLED screen and four speakers for less than a new Tab S11 costs.
Who should skip it
- Anyone paying close to its launch price, when the current Tab S11 lists for less than that.
- People who use a tablet outdoors or next to a bright window. Samsung rates the S10+ at 650 nits peak, where Tab S11 reaches 1600.
- Anyone who wants a bigger screen still: the Tab S10 Ultra is 14.6 inches.
What sets it apart
- A 12.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen at 2800 × 1752 and 120 Hz, with an anti-reflective coating.
- An IP68 S Pen in the box with Bluetooth (BLE) gestures and remote control, which Tab S11's pen gives up.
- A 10,090 mAh battery, bigger than Tab S11's 8,400 mAh, rated for up to 16 hours of video, with 45W charging.
- Dimensity 9300+ and 12GB of RAM, with 256GB or 512GB of storage and microSD up to 1.5TB.
Caveats
- Keyboard covers cost extra: Samsung sells the Book Cover Keyboard, Book Cover Keyboard Slim and Smart Book Cover separately.
- Every S10+ has 12GB of RAM, and storage stops at 512GB; the 16GB and 1TB versions are Tab S10 Ultra only.

Samsung unveiled the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra on 26 September 2024 in the US, a day before its global announcement. The S10+ is the middle size of Samsung’s recent flagships: bigger than the current 11-inch Galaxy Tab S11, smaller than the 14.6-inch Ultras.
Where it sits against Tab S11 and Tab S10 Ultra

| US price | $999.99 at launch | $899.99 list | $1,199.99 at launch |
Put simply, Tab S11 is the newer, brighter tablet with the lower list price, and the S10+ is the bigger one with the bigger battery and the Bluetooth pen. Next to its own Ultra sibling, the S10+ gives up screen, brightness, battery and a second front camera, and saves you a lot of weight.
The screen
Besides the anti-reflective coating, the panel has Vision Booster and a High Brightness Mode. Samsung’s 650-nit peak rating for it comes from its Canadian and Singapore pages, and the 12.4 inches are measured as a full rectangle, so the rounded corners trim the usable area slightly.
S Pen and DeX
On Tab S11, Samsung removed the pen’s Bluetooth and the wireless charging slot, so the S10+ is the one to get if you rely on either. With one of Samsung’s keyboard covers attached, you can switch to DeX for a desktop-style layout.
Build and water resistance
Samsung rates both the tablet and the S Pen IP68, for up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes, and builds the frame from Enhanced Armor Aluminum. The tablet measures 185.4 × 285.4 × 5.6 mm and weighs 571 grams, or 576 grams with 5G, in Moonstone Gray or Platinum Silver.
Connectivity, cameras and sound
Bluetooth is 5.3. The 5G models use Sub-6 5G in the US, and Samsung’s global announcement adds mmWave; both take a physical SIM and an eSIM. There’s a USB-C port and a microSD slot, and the S10+ launched on Android 14.0 with Samsung’s Galaxy AI features.
The rear cameras are a 13MP wide and an 8MP ultrawide, and the front camera is a single 12MP ultrawide. Four speakers and an in-screen fingerprint reader round it out, and Samsung lists 45W Super Fast Charging.
Price
The S10+ started at $999.99 in the US on 26 September 2024 with 256GB, and a 512GB model was also offered; the Tab S10 Ultra started at $1,199.99. Samsung’s US store now lists the 11-inch Tab S11 at $899.99, so a new S10+ makes sense only well below that, or as a refurbished unit. Promotions change these prices often, so check before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a plain Galaxy Tab S10?
No. Samsung's 2024 flagships were the Tab S10+ and the Tab S10 Ultra, with no 11-inch Tab S10. If you want the smaller size, the current model is Tab S11.
Does the Tab S10+ use a Snapdragon chip?
No. Samsung lists MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ for both the Tab S10+ and the Tab S10 Ultra.
Does the Tab S10+ have Wi-Fi 7?
Not for certain. Samsung's US announcement lists Wi-Fi 7 for the Tab S10 series, but its global announcement gives the S10+ Wi-Fi 6E. If Wi-Fi 7 matters to you, confirm it for the exact model you're buying.
Should I get the Tab S10+ or the Tab S10 Ultra?
The S10+, unless you want the bigger screen. The Ultra adds a 14.6-inch 2960 × 1848 screen rated at 930 nits, a second 12MP front camera, an 11,200 mAh battery and up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, but it weighs 718 grams (723 with 5G) and started at $1,199.99.
