Samsung is set to release the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ later this year, featuring designs similar to the Tab S9 series with some notable differences, such as the absence of a second camera on the FE+. The Tab S10 FE will have a 10.9” LCD screen, while the FE+ will increase to 13.1”. Both models will be powered by the Exynos 1580 chip, with options for 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage. They will support both Wi-Fi and 5G connectivity, have S Pen support, and charge at 45W. Exact release dates are yet to be announced.
Samsung is set to unveil the next Tab FE series later this year. While the exact release date is still unknown, we now have a clearer idea of their design. The upcoming models will closely resemble the Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+, but there are several notable differences, the first of which can be seen in the provided images.
Below are renders of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and the larger Tab S10 FE+, created by YTECHB. It’s worth noting that the plus model features just a single rear camera, in contrast to the Tab S9 FE+, which included an ultra-wide lens. Aside from this distinction, the designs are quite similar, including the prominent antenna lines.

As per Roland Quandt, the standard FE model will feature a 10.9” LCD display, while the plus version will be upgraded to 13.1” (an increase from the 12.4” display in the previous generation). Each model will be available in several color options, including Gray, Silver, and Blue (as depicted in the renders).
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ will be driven by the Exynos 1580, which was introduced just days ago at MWC, where we were able to conduct some benchmark tests. Note that these tests were done with an early version of the software.

The Exynos chip will be combined with options of 8GB or 12GB of RAM, marking an upgrade for the standard model, which previously had a base of 6GB and a maximum of 8GB. Storage will start at 128GB, with a 256GB option available, along with a microSD slot.
Both the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ have received certification from the FCC. Versions will be available for both Wi-Fi only (Wi-Fi 6E/ax) and 5G variants. The FE (SM-X526B) will support the following bands: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 26, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66, 71, 77, 78. The FE+ (SM-X528U) will cover bands: 2, 5, 25, 29, 30, 41, 48, 66, 70, 71, 77. These band supports likely vary by region (with U designated for the US and B typically indicating the global version).
5G band support: Galaxy Tab S10 FE • Galaxy Tab S10 FE+
Both tablets will feature S Pen support and will support fast charging of up to 45W. While the battery capacities remain unconfirmed, we expect the smaller model to retain the same battery as its predecessor, whereas the plus model is anticipated to feature a larger battery, given its increased screen size.
The information regarding 5G bands is sourced from the FCC in the US, but the Tab S10 FE series has also been certified by India’s BIS, suggesting that a local launch is on the horizon. However, the question of “when?” still lingers.
