Samsung is gearing up to release its new Galaxy Tab S10 series, expected to launch in October.

Recent reports reveal some interesting changes in both the hardware and lineup of these upcoming tablets.

New Processor: Dimensity 9300+

Both the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip.

This marks a significant shift from Samsung’s traditional use of Snapdragon processors in its high-end tablets.

The Dimensity 9300+ features a unique 8-core CPU setup:

• Four Cortex-X4 cores (one at 3.4GHz, three at 2.85GHz)
• Four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.0GHz

This processor also includes an Immortalis-G720 GPU and supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

Some models will offer 5G connectivity, supporting both sub-6GHz and mmWave networks.

Performance and Benchmarks

Recent Geekbench results for both the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra confirm the use of the Dimensity 9300+.

The Ultra model (SM-X926B) was spotted with 12GB of RAM, matching last year’s Tab S9 series.

A version with 16GB RAM is likely for certain regions and storage configurations.

The Dimensity 9300+ is expected to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip.

This change could benefit Samsung in terms of both performance and cost.

Lineup Changes

Interestingly, reports suggest that Samsung may be cutting the smaller Galaxy Tab S10 from the lineup.

This would leave only two models in the series: the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra.

Release and Expectations

The tablets are scheduled for availability in October, although it’s unlikely that they will have the forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor.

The move to MediaTek’s Dimensity series signifies a major shift in Samsung’s premium tablet business plan.

Tech aficionados and Samsung fans alike are excitedly awaiting the formal unveiling of the Galaxy Tab S10 series, keen to see how these modifications will affect the tablets’ performance and place in the market as more information become available.
