If you were disappointed to hear (once again) about the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra’s oddly familiar specs and features and the potentially higher-than-expected prices of Samsung’s upcoming premium Android tablets, a new WinFuture report (translated here) might help change your scowl… slightly.
That’s because previous rumors of a price increase for the Tab S10 series over the Tab S9 family may have been greatly exaggerated, at least according to WinFuture’s Roland Quandt, who is very rarely wrong about these kinds of things. Additionally, another equally reliable social media leaker gives more credibility to the latest price tags circulating on the Internet while helping to complete the Galaxy Tab S10 Photo of the Plus and Tab S10 Ultra.
Where have we seen these prices before?

If you live in Europe and are currently checking out Samsung’s official website for your country, you might be surprised to see these exact numbers listed for these exact variants of last year’s Galaxy Tab S9+ and Tab S9 Ultra. Granted, many of these have seen discounts since the two Android giants first launched, but it’s important to note here that the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra are likely to retain their predecessors’ recommended prices.
This is certainly true for markets like the US in addition to the old continent, so you can probably expect to pay $999.99 for an entry-level model. Galaxy Tab S10+ configuration with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM in the US soon and $1,199.99 for the most affordable Tab S10 Ultra model.
While these are not budget tablets here, it’s certainly good to hear that Samsung likely won’t charge more for the very familiar Tab S10 Plus and Tab S10 Ultra than the Tab S9 Plus and Tab S9 Ultra after all.
Save the date September 26th
Yes, the Galaxy Tab S10 family launch is apparently in exactly two weeks as I write this, although as usual, it is unclear whether we should only prepare for an official announcement or a real commercial launch on September 26th.
Either way, you probably won’t have long to wait before Samsung confirms… what we already sort of know about the Tab S10 duo. It’s unlikely to be a trio, mind you, as a sequel to the “vanilla” Tab S9 is missing from the equation for some reason.
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra are virtually guaranteed to look virtually identical to the Tab S9+ and Tab S9 Ultradown to the notch on the larger model and the lack of a screen cutout on the smaller device.
The displays are expected to measure 12.4 and 14.6 inches respectively, the battery sizes are expected to remain completely unchanged, and even the product’s overall dimensions and weight figures are expected to be revised no more than a few grams and 0.1mm here and there.
Overall, Samsung’s upcoming contenders for the world’s best tablet might still end up disappointing some of the company’s die-hard fans with their familiarity, but at least they won’t break the bank… any more than the Tab S9 Plus and Tab S9 Ultra I did it last year.
