Rumor emerges about Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, potentially disrupting M3 iPad Air purchase plans
A brand spankin' new contest is heating up in the tablet world! Apple's just dropped their M3-packed iPad Air at a hefty $599, but let's be honest, do we all need a tablet with that level of performance? Samsung's got some exciting new additions to the Galaxy Tab S series up their sleeves - the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+. These bad boys are rumored to launch at more budget-friendly prices (keep your fingers crossed), offering a reasonable alternative for most people.
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE looks like a standard tablet, and according to leaks from YTechB via SamMobile, both the base FE and the FE+ will sport a metal frame. The FE features a 10.9-inch screen, while the FE+ rocks a larger 13.1-inch display. They'll reportedly boast an Exynos 1580 processor, 8GB/12GB of RAM, and 128GB/256GB of storage.
Both models are said to come with a 12MP selfie camera and a 13MP rear shooter. They'll feature quad speakers, a fingerprint reader, a microSD card slot, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The former will have an 8,000mAh battery, while the latter gets bumped up to a 10,090mAh battery for longer use. Plus, they'll come bundled with the Galaxy S Pen!
So, how does this Exynos 1580 processor stack up against Apple's M3 chip? Well, the FE's chip first surfaced in the Galaxy A56 - and according to leaks, it doesn't quite hold a candle to Apple's M3 chip. But unless you're planning on doing some heavy video editing or intense gaming on your tablet, Apple's offerings might be a bit overkill.
If you're patient and willing to wait a bit, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE might save you a few hundred bucks on a new tablet. As of now, the M3 iPad is available for pre-order at $599, and if you want to snag the Apple Pencil, you'll need to shell out an additional $79 – bringing the total to $669 for the tablet and stylus. If you spring for a keyboard, that's a hefty $269.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE debuted at $449 and is currently on sale for $299 – that's $229 in savings with the stylus included. Adding the keyboard would set you back an additional $159, so you'd save a total of $339 with the FE.
