Key Takeaways
- The existence of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE has been revealed on Samsung’s own website.
- Before the end of July 2025, the product should be available for purchase.
- It may start at $450 and have a better back camera than the S9 FE, while other specifications are unclear.
It seems that Samsung unintentionally verified reports about the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, a forthcoming mid-range tablet.
According to Android Central, the leak was discovered on the US website for the standard Galaxy Tab S10. Samsung states in the offer wording that US residents who purchase “a Tab S10 series or Tab S10 FE series device” by July 31st, 2025, are eligible for a one-year subscription to Goodnotes. Additionally, it implies that the S10 FE will be available in the United States prior to the end of July.
A FE model was previously the subject of online speculations, which included purported model numbers for the SM-X520 and SM-X526B. Not much else is known, although it’s possible that the tablet will receive a better back camera than the S9 FE, with a crisper 12MP sensor instead of the previous 8MP one.
FE models, which originally stood for “Fan Edition,” are essentially less expensive iterations of Samsung’s flagship devices that have made some performance concessions in order to achieve the lower price points. For instance, the Galaxy S24 FE’s cameras and processing power are of poorer grade.
What concessions the Galaxy Tab S10 FE could have to make are unknown. However, Samsung made choices for the S9 FE, such as reducing the display technology and utilizing a lesser Exynos 1380 processor.
The 10.9-inch S9 FE now starts at $450 before discounts, while the 12.4-inch S9 FE+ starts at $600. Other unknowns include pricing, screen sizes, and internal specifications. Purchasers of either can increase storage and RAM. For instance, an updated S9 FE with 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM costs $520. A loaded S9 FE+ with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage can be purchased for $700.
Apple is the unidentified competitor. According to rumors, it is working on improvements for the mid-range iPad Air and a new low-cost iPad for spring 2025.
