A recent leak from Android Headlines suggests that Samsung will limit its Galaxy Tab S10 series to just two models: the Galaxy Tab S10+ and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. This move marks the end of the ‘vanilla’ model, which has been part of the lineup in previous years.
Design and Notch Details
A newly leaked promo image provides a glimpse of the upcoming tablets, with the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra on the left and the Galaxy Tab S10+ on the right. The most obvious difference between the two is the presence of a notched screen on the Ultra model, a feature carried over from the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. The S10+ lacks this notch, making it easy to distinguish between the two.
In terms of design, both tablets seem to closely mirror their predecessors, with Samsung opting not to make any major changes. The decision to drop the entry-level model and stick with a similar design could suggest that Samsung is focusing on refining the existing features rather than introducing new ones.
Launch Timeline and Colors
The Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra are expected to launch in October, with color options including Silver and Graphite. While the exact release date is not yet confirmed, the October timeline aligns with previous launches in the Galaxy Tab series.

Charging and Power
Both tablets have been certified by China’s 3C, revealing that they will support 45W wired charging. This is also consistent with the Galaxy Tab S9 series. Thus, we do not expect any improvements in charging speed. However, Samsung will not include a charger in the box, continuing a trend seen in recent years.
Under the hood, the Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra come with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ SoC. This choice is noteworthy, as the Dimensity 9400 should be available by the time the tablet arrive. Despite this, Samsung has opted for a slightly older chipset, which could impact the overall performance and appeal of these devices.
Conclusion
Samsung’s decision to simplify the Galaxy Tab S10 lineup by offering only two models may reflect a strategy to streamline its product range. With the S10+ and S10 Ultra closely resembling their predecessors, the focus appears to be on delivering a familiar experience with some subtle upgrades. As the launch date approaches, more details are likely to emerge, providing further insights into what these tablets will offer.
