Samsung is preparing to launch its next-generation Fan Edition tablets: the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, which have been in the conversation for a while. A recent leak suggests they will come with a higher price tag than their predecessors. According to YTechB, the Wi-Fi-only variants of the upcoming tablets will be $50 more expensive than the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series.
The leaked prices for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series are as follows:
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE (8GB RAM + 128GB storage): $499
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE (12GB RAM + 256GB storage): $569
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (8GB RAM + 128GB storage): $649
- Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (12GB RAM + 256GB storage): $749
In comparison, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE starts at $449, and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ starts at $599. While the price hike may seem modest, it definitely raises the question of whether the upgrades are worth the extra price.
As for the upgrades, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series will feature a faster Exynos 1580 processor (up from the Exynos 1380 in the Tab S9 FE). This will be joined by a higher-resolution 12MP front-facing camera (compared to the 8MP camera on the previous model).
The Tab S10 FE+, on the other hand, will also boast a larger 13.1-inch display, up from the 12.4-inch screen on the Tab S9 FE+. While these improvements are notable, they do not justify the price hike for someone who is already on a tight budget.

Samsung has yet to announce an official launch date for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series. However, certification listings and benchmark tests suggest a launch could be on the horizon. Both devices have cleared the Indian regulatory certifications, which suggests they will be launched in India as well.
