Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus Review: I'm Blown Away

Nits? Refresh Rate?

I will upgrade my tab s9+ with anti reflection screen protector

Absulutly best tablet in my opinion

I loved my S8+ until One UI 6.1.1. The tablet is still a work of art but Samsung needs to refine the new software. The older software was on point.

While many people have been criticizing Samsung tablets, I have been using the Tab S8+ since its release, and it is still performing well. I can only imagine how good the Tab S10+ might be. However, my Tab S8+ is still working great, and I have no intention of upgrading it anytime soon.

I was in dire need of a tablet upgrade with my Galaxy Tab S7 FE slowing to a crawl, and even though I use an iPhone, I knew I wanted an Android tablet because I appreciated the versatility (expandable storage, wider emulation options, easier uh... 'alternative' (🏴‍☠️) methods for movies and apps, etc). Of course, I'm fully aware that iPads are better for video/photo editing with their better apps, but my main use was reading/marking documents, watching media and a little bit of gaming, so Android suits my needs just fine.

The question was whether I should buy the new Tab S10+, or just go for the older S8/S9 series. Going for older models didn't seem like too bad of an idea, especially since they were much cheaper used, and the upgrades from a Tab S9+ to S10+ are marginal at best. What ultimately tipped me over to the S10+ was the 7 years of support. It's crazy to think that I'd still be using this thing in 2031 and it'd be still fully supported by Samsung til then. I can't help but think that I'd feel screwed over if I owned a Tab S9 though; I don't see why the Tab S10 can be supported that long and the virtually identical S9 can't. Also their trade-in deals are pretty insane, especially when combined with the student discounts they also have; it didn't really make sense to buy the older tab models since this new one only cost a tiny bit more with all those discounts.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, but the only thing that kiiiinda has me regretting it is the release of that new Snapdragon Elite chip; I'm starting to wonder if I just bought into a decidedly last-gen device here because of that. But so far I can't complain about the performance or battery life, so whatever I guess. I just hope it doesn't slow down as drastically as my Tab S7 FE did.

You should do a QNA

I purchased this tab; I was coming from tab s8+. The tab s8+ was a great tab. I like this tab a little bit better. I like the fact that this tab has a great keyboard cover. I should have gotten the white cover. The tablet itself has been great. I just added a paper-like screen protector. I use my tab to do homework and run my business. I have the Fold 6, and the Tab s10 Plus is the perfect companion. I wish the DEX services would work on Windows devices with the tab s10Plus. The media tech processor works great. I am using the tab a great deal daily.

I really don't grasp this evolution with growing sizes and a larger price. I've always seen the tablet as a compliment but it seems like more and more manufacturers try to create a daily driver that will replace your laptop.

Sure, the products are powerful but they lack to much in so many areas to be able to achieve this. And why would it take such a path?

I want a decent powerful 9-10 inch tablet with a pen, video out, and a good multitask capability. That segment seems rare right now however.

Danke!

I kind of think it's a shame thwt when Samsung changed to just two devices they didn't make the sizes a 11.5" smaller one with a 13" ultra that matches small notebooks. A 12.4" feels a little bit big to me :(

Looks amazing but so expensive 🥶

Cheapassses 😅

Having a pixel 9 pro I see no advantages getting a Samsung android tablet like this over an iPad Pro. Samsung lock down continuity so you must have a Samsung phone. Can someone tell me I'm wrong. I'm holding back purchasing

Mine is bent. Can you look at yours and see if it's also bent?

This AI shit is bad. Do you really suck at school? Well AI can do it for you. Are you terrible at drawing? Well no worries! There's no need to practice and get better because AI can do it for you. If this keeps going the way it is we are not going to know what is real and what isn't.

Samsung can’t compete with the new IPad in performance. I think Samsung makes a great tabet. I would buy one. GREAT VIDEO!!👍👍👍

It's ree tar dead to think that you need to buy every year the newer version. Tablets are like cars...a new model comes out every year but they are the same identical car with minor cosmetic changes or superficial changes but they are not targeting those who bought the same vehicle the year before. The target should be to lure and entice people who don't have one yet or a much older tablet and this is the time to upgrade...stop focusing on the ones who bought it last year. 99% are good for now.

TRADED in my Tab S9+ and got the TAB S10 ULTRA for $499!

Zachy, will we ever see Samsung produce an 8 inch tablet with features similar to the latest range of S10 Galaxy tablets? I would definitely buy that one over the latest Apple Mini 7. I loved the self portrait you drew, so lifelike

The non reflection screen is a nonsense, when a screen protector is on....

Love this S10 plus. Got it a couple of days ago and loving the nonreflective screen, buttery smooth, quick, and enjpying the AI.

I think that is good that you can still use your same accessories. This will save you a lot of money, plus I think it promotes brand loyalty.

Is the new keyboard for the plus series backlit now?

Is this Skyrim on android ?

What's the best value tab ?

What about their stupid slowest charging speed is there any upgrade

I just wanted to say that i appreciate your reviews. I bought the DEXNOR case and its really good! I just bought the S9+ tablet during amazon prime sale and its great! I got the top of the line model for a great price. I didnt get the s10+ because so many reviews said not to bother upgrading if you have the s9+ and I couldnt justify the price of the s10+.

It is not, M4 iPads are super fast and way better.

I had this in my basket on Samsung's website. I was really on the fence about completing the purchase but watching your video I have decided I am going to checkout right now!

is it worth getting the s10+ coming from the A9+? i switched over from apples ecosystem and like the tablet I just feel like it's slower.

I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ via Verizon, it's a BIG Upgrade from my Mid-Range Lenovo Tab P11 Pro (Gen 2)

If only Samsung put Snapdragon X Plus/Elite and Windows ARM in it. That would be a great Microsoft Surface Pro 11 rival.

Hi do the s8 ultra cases fit s9 ultra?

You're amazing. Please don't stop and make these videos! 👍👍👍

I've been skipping the odds. Had the tab 6, tab 8,now waiting for the 10+. I'm so glad it still has a microSD slot. I got the 256gb since I can always add a 2tb sd card when I want. I just wish my Galaxy S24 Ultra had one

Just bought one! Coming from an iPad 9th gen. Wanted to try something new and Samsung was offering fantastic discounts. Got 300 for the iPad plus another 100 off for military.

Got my s10+ and sadly some things actually run worse than on the s9+.

Most things run at least the same or better. Grand mountain adventure runs like absolute crap on the s10, chopping from 120fps down to 20 something, to the point of being unplayable, where as it ran perfectly smooth like butter on the s9.

Optimization maybe? Asphalt 9 runs about the same but with some you headroom left over( shows gpu usage at 75-85% at maxed out settings Va 100% with the snapdragon 8 gen 2), Diablo, genshin, all run about the same . Adobe Lightroom actually seems to load raw files slower. Some apps load faster. It’s a total mixed bag and I wouldn’t recommend the ‘upgrade’ to tab s9 series owners. Performance all around is nearly the same

if they have added snap gen 8.3 i would have bought it, need to wait for next one tab 11

Updates to s9 plus makes buying s10 plus not worth it.

So they don't need a screen protector? 🤨 I mean I don't take mine out of the house and it's very safe from sharp objects so do I really need a screen protector. I don't wanna ruin the anti reflective screen

Is it true that the 10+ has wifi 6E and the 10 ultra has wifi 7 ?

Is this tablet better compared to i pad pro, im really tied between them

Just subscribed! And bought one. Your channel is all about practicality. Being fair to all brands and product. Thumbs up man - from PH

I just picked up a Tab S10 Plus and I already have a Tab S9 Ultra. The Ultra is a great device and works awesome as a laptop replacement, but it's just too damn big to use as a normal tablet. I'm liking the Plus a lot more than the Ultra for everyday tablet use. I just wish they had put WiFi 7 in the Plus as well.

Trading my 9 ultra for the 10+ with 5g. The ultra is just too big. Beautiful, but big.
