TechRadar Verdict
Samsungs Galaxy Tab S10 Plus makes no compromises in being an exceptionally premium rig.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is still admittedly expensive.
It costs as must as a13-inch MacBook Airor aMicrosoft Surface Pro 11.
Professionals, this is for you.
Its a confusing move that further separates its high-end smartphones from its high-end tablets.
This year’s tablet still launches at the same price as last year’s.
I never noticed performance lacking.
Comparing performance through benchmarks, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor doesn’t have a huge advantage.
The Mediatek 9300+ chip performed better than, if not equal to, the Snapdragon on every test.
Outside of simply describing the display, Samsungs approach to multitasking is second to none.
To match the strong display, the four speakers located around the equipment offer powerful, room-filling sound.
Every piece of content I viewed felt like it had the audio to match.
But parts of the design feel… Too big.
The back of the tablet looks nice but it isn’t easy to hold in portrait orientation.
The pen charging on the back of the gear is another issue.
When the pen is attached, the tablet wont sit flat on its back.
This mode feels perfectly comfortable.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus: software
Samsungs approach to tablets is probably my favorite.
My love for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus software mostly stems from multitasking.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus let me drag windows freely around the screen to be placed wherever I want.
Samsungs Galaxy AI suite is unimpressive.
The AI image generator feels particularly tacked on.
A simple click in the app and your handwritten notes will convert to text.
you could also convert writing to text on the fly, as you write.
As you’d expect, the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus aces its stylus support.
It has good palm rejection, so I was more comfortable drawing.
Navigating between tools feels simple in Samsung’s native drawing and writing apps.
Instead, this tablet is underpinned by a Mediatek Dimensity 9300+, which doesnt skip a beat.
From 0%, the tablet took one hour and 50 minutes to return to 100% charge.

Not convinced by the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus?
Youll just have to buy an Apple Pencil separately.
As far as games went, I mostly played Crossy Road.
On this trip, I touched base with friends on Messenger and Instagram and doomscrolled on social media often.
I also depleted the battery in its entirety and timed how long it took to charge to 100%.
Most of my performance relied on real-world use relative to how I use tablets in my day-to-day life.
