Verdict: Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra goodness with several downsides
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is a tablet that impresses with its size, long battery life, and appealing aesthetics. These features, in combination with the versatile S Pen, make it an interesting companion for university or school. The IP rating also ensures protection against water and dust, which enhances durability on the go.
However, the Galaxy Tab S10 Fe+ is not without some caveats. The biggest point of criticism concerns the performance of the Samsung tablet, which is not entirely convincing. This could be a decisive knock-out criterion for those who expect a high system performance relative to the Tab S10 FE+'s price.
Other shortcomings in terms of features for the asking price include slow charging or the presence of just a USB 2.0 port.
That being said, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ has already seen some significant price cuts shortly after launch, and the tablet can now be had for less than €600 or $600.
If you are looking out for alternatives, the Oppo Pad 4 Pro is a strong contender and a better tablet overall.

At 13.1 inches, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ has the largest display in the Galaxy Tab S FE series to date; it is larger than the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ by 0.7 inches.
In combination with the S Pen, the Tab S10 FE+ has the potential to be the ultimate study buddy and an intelligent learning partner for school, according to Samsung.
The large display apart, the Galaxy Tab S10 Fe+ also impresses with AI functions designed to simplify life for students and casual users.
Specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+
Case: High quality IP68-rated build
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is not the thinnest and lightest tablet on the market. Nevertheless, the unibody casing made from recycled aluminum exudes a high-quality look and feel, and the overall workmanship feels great. The matte aluminum surface also ensures that fingerprints are barely visible.
The display takes up around 85% of the tablet's front, which gives a very modern impression. However, the bezels around the 13.1-inch display could be a little narrower given the high asking price.
A welcome feature is the IP68 certification, which protects the tablet against dust and water ingress. This means that the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ can also be used in light rain outdoors without having to worry.
Features: Large Android tablet disappoints with USB 2.0
Compared to the Galaxy Tab S10+, the Tab S10 FE+ offers only a USB 2.0 port, which means that a wired connection to a monitor is not possible although USB OTG is supported.
We achieved a transfer speed of just 36 MB/s with a Samsung 980 Pro (M.2 SSD) during testing. The connected storage media can either be formatted with NTFS (read-only mode) or exFAT in order to be used without problems.
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ does not have NFC on board, but Samsung's security platform, Knox, is offered that protects users' sensitive information, according to the manufacturer.
microSD Card Reader
In combination with our Angelbird V60 reference card, the Tab S10 FE+ delivers a solid copy speed though the Tab S10+ performs significantly better. The microSD performance of the Tab S10 FE+ is better in the CPDT benchmark.

Software: Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ with long updates
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is the first model in the FE series to use AI functions such as Circle to Search, the Tab S10 FE notwithstanding. Samsung is currently promoting the Notes app, which includes a math assistant for solving students' math problems.
The tablet runs on Android 15 layered on top with the in-house user interface OneUI 7.0. At the time of testing, Android security patches are up to date as of May 2025.
According to Samsung, a total of seven years of updates would be made available for the tablet including operating system and security patches.
Sustainability
Specific information on the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is not available as it is not yet listed in Samsung's sustainability report.
Similar to the Galaxy Tab S10+, the manufacturer presumably also uses components made from recycled materials. The packaging is made of paper.
Communication and GNSS: Optional 5G but no Wi-Fi 7
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ only offers the Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and not the more modern Wi-Fi 7, which means that higher transmission speeds that could be potentially achieved with the 6 GHz frequency band are not possible.
We achieved about 800 Mb/s in the 5 GHz band in combination with our reference Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 router, which is not bad.
In addition to a Wi-Fi-only version, Samsung also offers a 5G SKU for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+. The latter can combine a nanoSIM card with an eSIM. Location tracking is possible with both models.

Outdoors, the location is determined after a rather long waiting time and with an accuracy of just 18 m. In our navigation test accompanied by the Garmin Venu 2, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ performs very well. However, the Samsung tablet sometimes pinpoints the location slightly off the actual route.
Cameras: Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ with single 13 MP rear shooter
The 12 MP fixed focus camera integrated in the upper part of the display delivers solid results in daylight. However, the main camera with autofocus and a 13 MP image sensor provides slightly better photos.
The color reproduction and dynamic range are fine. However, the sharpness level could be a little higher. Our color analysis under defined artificial light shows no significant deviations.

Accessories and Warranty: No power adapter in the box
The S Pen and a USB cable are included with the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+. A matching power adapter, as well as the Book Cover Keyboard and Book Cover Keyboard Slim or the Slim Cover are available separately in Samsung's online store.
Samsung offers a warranty of 24 months for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, which can also be supplemented by the Care+ insurance package that costs €129.
Input devices and operation: S Pen along with a fingerprint sensor in the power button
Whether using touch or the S Pen, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+'s 90 Hz touchscreen responds precisely and quickly to inputs. The large 13.1-inch screen makes handwritten notes a breeze with the stylus and the strokes on the screen hardly lag behind the stylus tip even with fast movements. A haptic vibration motor is not installed.
Samsung has integrated an active fingerprint sensor into the power button on the top of the casing. Stored fingerprints are recognized very reliably. Alternatively, 2D facial recognition via the front camera can also be used. However, this authentication method is less secure.
Display: 90 Hz LCD with no PWM
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ does not offer an AMOLED panel, but its LCD does not use PWM at all which will please sensitive users. The refresh rate of the panel in the classic 16:10 aspect ratio is 90 Hz, with the pixel density being a solid 259 PPI.
The picture brightness on a white background comes very close to the factory specifications of up to 800 nits in high brightness mode. However, we measured a significantly lesser value of 585 nits for the APL18 test, which is representative of everyday usage and when playing back HDR material (583 nits).
High-contrast effects are therefore very limited on the Samsung tablet's panel.

The viewing angles are stable. Outdoors, the LC display offers sufficient brightness levels for outdoor use in the shade. However, reflections on the glass surface are annoying.
Performance: Exynos 1580 struggles to keep up with the competition
As with the Tab S9 FE+, an in-house SoC is used in the current Tab S10 FE+ series. The tablet relies on the Exynos 1580 SoC, which is also used in the Galaxy A56 5G and is therefore positioned in the mid-range performance bracket.
Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite of the Oppo Pad 4 Pro, the Tab S10 FE+'s Exynos 1580 lags far behind. The same applies to the Xclipse 540 GPU which only achieves 10 fps in the GFXBench 4K Aztec Ruins test.
In everyday use, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ does not always run smoothly, and the One UI interface hitches at times, though it can still allow apps to update in the background.
We cannot say for sure whether the Exynos 1580 reaches its limits with the high 1800p resolution or whether there is a lack of optimization, but halving the High-tier on-screen values compared to the Galaxy A56 tends to favor the former.

Speakers
The stereo speakers of the Galaxy Tab provide a good audio experience with light bass and accentuated mids.
Compared to the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, however, the speakers seem to lack depth. Wired headphones can be connected via the USB port and Bluetooth 5.3 is available wirelessly, albeit with only a few audio codecs.

Energy consumption: Low overall efficiency and slow charging speeds
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+'s power consumption is significantly higher than that of an Oppo Pad 4 Pro and is not very efficient overall.
The battery measures 10,090 mAh and charges at a maximum of 45 W. The charging process with a Xiaomi Powerbank 25000 takes almost 2 hours, which is quite long.
