Samsung just had a big event — 4 new Galaxy devices it dropped, including new Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
Samsung hosted an event in NYC on Thursday, Sept. 26, revealing a handful of new devices, including new tablets, a phone, and a watch.
As expected this time of year, Samsung revealed the Galaxy Tab S10+ and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Interestingly, there isn’t a base model this year, so you won’t find an entry-level Galaxy Tab S10 in this lineup.
We also got a glimpse of the new Galaxy S24 FE, a budget-friendly addition to the Galaxy S24 series line that was unveiled earlier this year. And finally, Samsung revealed a new watch that has cellular support.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and S10+
As mentioned at the outset, Samsung eliminated the base model, so there’s no Galaxy Tab S10 that succeeds last year’s 11-inch Galaxy Tab S9.
This year, there are only two tablets to choose from: Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ (12.4-inch) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (14.6-inch).
Interestingly, unlike their predecessors, the Galaxy Tab S10 tablets no longer sport Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Instead, they come with MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipsets.
As Liliputing pointed out, this is interesting since MediaTek is often known for being packed inside budget devices (and the Galaxy Tab S10 series are not considered budget tablets). But Samsung claims that they have an 18 percent increase in CPU power as well as a 28 percent jump in graphics performance.
We’ll have to test these claims ourselves when we get the new tablets in for review.
With Samsung leaning heavily into AI, it’s no surprise that the Book Cover keyboards (which can be attached to the tablets) now have a new Galaxy AI key, giving you easy access to the AI assistant that was announced alongside the Samsung Galaxy S24 series earlier this year.
Galaxy AI features include Sketch-to-Image, Circle to Search, and Note Assist. Plus, there’s a Handwriting Help feature that helps tidy up your John Hancock.
Samsung also claims that the new Galaxy Tab S10 series also has “long-lasting battery life” as well as ultra-fast charging.
New features, aside from the new processor, include an improved speaker setup with an enhanced AI-powered “Dialogue Boost” perk, which augments voices in video and audio recordings.
The Galaxy Tab S10+ starts at $ 999.99 while the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra starts at $ 1,199.99.
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE LTE
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE was already introduced in June, but the company revealed that the watch will get the Galaxy AI features that are available on the pricier Galaxy Watch 7 series, enabling owners to get more personalized insights into their health.
Plus, the company also dropped a new LTE version of the Galaxy Watch FE. In other words, you’ll have the opportunity to take calls, send messages, and track your progress from anywhere — even if you don’t have a connection to a phone.
The Galaxy Watch FE LTE starts at $ 249.99.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE
If you feel that the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is too pricey and offers too many bells and whistles for your taste, the new Galaxy S24 FE is for you.
A quick look at specs:
6.7-inch AMOLED display
4,700 mAh battery
Exynos 2400 chipset
Borrowing from the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, the FE model also has a 50MP wide lens. It also sports an 8MP telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom. Plus, the phone supports a 12MP ultra-wide lens as well as a 10MP selfie camera.
As you might have guessed, the Galaxy S24 FE also supports Galaxy AI, so you can enjoy the following features:
Generative Edit (move objects around or remove them in photos)
Portrait Studio (reimagine selfies as other visuals like cartoons, comics, and more)
Edit Suggestions (remove reflections and other flaws)
Instant Slow-mo
The Galaxy S24 FE starts at $ 649.99 and it comes in four colors: Blue, Mint, Gray, and Graphite.
All of the aforementioned devices are available for pre-order today. The Galaxy Tab S10 series, Galaxy Watch FE LTE, and the Galaxy S24 FE will start shipping on Oct. 3.
