Unveiled in 2021, 2023, and 2025, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S FE series has its own unique strategy for issuing new models. While it may be cumbersome to wait two years for a new release, users are delighted with each subsequent device as they receive a lot of features packed into a mid-range budget.
Larger Yet Lighter Screens
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ model introduces a new device with a whopping screen size of 13.1 inches which is a whopping 12% increase from the 12.4 inch panel of the Tab S10 Ultra. Meanwhile, the Tab S10+ is dwarfed at 12.4 inches, and the massive Tab S10 Ultra is 14.6 inches.
The FOB model of the standard Tab S10 still has the same screen size of 10.9 inches. However, the tablet is now 4 Percent lighter and weighs 497g. On the flip side, the FE+ version has grown heavier from 627g to 664g due to its increased screen size. Since the 2023 versions, both models have become slimmer to 6.0mm as compared to 6.5mm, although they still retain the same battery capacity.
Other Features and Attachments
Samsung has developed an optional anti-reflective screen protector alongside various gadgets like a Smart Book Cover and two keyboard covers which can be used with both gadgets boasting a 800nit brightness mode and 90Hz LCD display. These features are so far unmatched in the Taiwanese market. These devices will also come with an S Pen, but like the Tab S9, it will not have Bluetooth.
Performance and Storage
A glance at the specs shows the FE tablets are powered by the Exynos 1580 processor, which features in the Galaxy A56 as well. This is a very important step up from the Tab S9 FE’s dexynos 1380 since the 1580 comes with ARMv9 cores (Cortex A720 and A520) and two work group (compared to one in the Exynos 1480) AMD RDNA 3 based graphics.
All users have the choice of two configs: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage. Micro SD card support for expansion beyond 2TB is also available. Users will be able to use features powered by Galaxy AI for every option.
