Samsung to debut Galaxy Tab S10 sooner than expected
Samsung successfully got free from the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Buds 3 Series, and more. Now the brand is looking forward to introducing the Galaxy Tab S10, and soon it will be on the floor.
Samsung is gearing up to expand its tablet series, as it is actively working on bringing the Galaxy Tab S10 series as the successor of the Galaxy Tab S9. This is being speculated by the company’s representative from South Africa informing the Android Authority that the Galaxy Tab S10 will be launched later this year.
The giant has yet to reveal the features of its forthcoming Galaxy Tab S10. However, a few reports suggest that the brand could power the Galaxy Tab S10 with a MediaTek processor. A couple of days ago, the US variant of the Galaxy Tab S10+ was spotted online with the MediaTek Dimesity 9300+ chipset.
If the report is to be believed, the company is looking forward to dropping the base variant from the Galaxy Tab S10 series. If the brand debuts the Galaxy Tab S10 series by the end of this year, then most likely it will run Android 15-based One UI 7.0 out of the box. However, it will be interesting to see whether Samsung will give its flagship tablets the newly adopted seven years of software support.
The brand has also announced that it will boost the AI-powered features on Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 bring a dozen new Galaxy AI features, including Sketch to Image, and that feature will likely come to the Galaxy Tab S10.
Yesterday, Samsung released the November 2024 security patch for the Galaxy Tab S10 series devices in Europe, but it was limited to the 5G variants. Now, with the latest development, it is available for the Wi-Fi variants.
