Strengths and limitations

  • In Expert Reviews’ test the Tab S10 Ultra lasted 12 hours 38 minutes of local low-resolution video playback, 13 minutes less than the Tab S9 Ultra. In Geekbench 6 the processor beat the previous model, while in GFXBench graphics it fell slightly short; the review finds the performance gain limited. The anti-reflection display noticeably reduces reflections without hurting contrast. DeX is good enough to replace a laptop occasionally but has shortcomings. The bundled S Pen is listed as a plus.

    Expert Reviews review, 2 October 2024; probably the 256 GB Wi-Fi unit (the review does not state the exact model).

Owner experiences and issues

  • 448 of Best Buy’s 500 reviews give 5 stars. In the 19 visible reviews owners praise the large, bright display, lag-free S Pen drawing, battery life, speed and DeX use with a keyboard cover. Reservations: size and difficulty holding it for long (three owners), the on-screen fingerprint reader placement, shorter battery than a Tab S9 FE+ and MediaTek limits for heavy tasks like emulation for one owner, and Microsoft apps being less convenient. One open-box owner reports pixelation at the top of the screen after about 11 months, with a restart as a temporary fix; a single report.
