Samsung is expected to launch new budget-centric tablets in the coming weeks, expanding its portfolio of “Fan Edition” devices. But it seems the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 FE series of slates will test the loyalty of Samsung enthusiasts with a higher asking price.
The folks over at YTechB have shared the purported pricing structure for the vanilla Galaxy Tab S10 FE and its Plus variant, and it seems a minimum price hike worth $50 is on the horizon. This is what the outlet shared:
For comparison, the baseline Galaxy Tab S FE started at $450 in the US, for the entry-level variant with 6GB of RAM. This time around, Samsung has equipped the most affordable model with 8GB of RAM, so there’s that meaningful upgrade to make the increased price a tad more palatable.
Interestingly, Samsung is also bumping up the RAM capacity on the higher-end model, taking it from 8GB to 12GB, while the peak onboard storage remains the same at 256 GB. Of course, that upgrade will come at a $50 premium, as well.
The Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, on the other hand, started at $600, while its successor might hit the shelves at $650. Unfortunately, buyers won’t find RAM or storage upgrades on the Plus variant, despite paying a higher premium for it.
The Plus model will also deliver another unsavory surprise. Despite commanding a higher asking price, it will come with one less rear camera than its predecessor, as per leaked renders of the upcoming tablet.
As far as the design goes, Samsung is sticking with a familiar all-metal look with flat sides. This year, the screen size is going up, following in the footsteps of the iPad Air. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ will reportedly offer a 13.1-inch screen, slightly bigger than Apple’s mid-range tablet.
We’re not sure if an OLED upgrade is in the pipeline this year, but given the marketing placement of this tablet, I am not hopeful. Coming to the innards, Samsung will reportedly rely on the in-house Exynos 1580 silicon.
As per alleged benchmarks, this processor is roughly 32% faster ticking inside the upcoming tablet, compared to the Exynos 1380 silicon powering the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
Based on our tests, the Exynos 1580 powering the Galaxy A56 is faster than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 silicon driving the Nothing Phone 3a Pro at single-core benchmarks. However, Samsung’s processor can’t quite beat Qualcomm’s mobile processor at multi-core workflows.
Both variants of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE tablet will offer stylus support out of the box, and will also support 45W wired charging, the fastest that Samsung has to offer. For now, details about the rest of the innards are under wraps, but visits to the regulatory databases suggest that an official launch is right around the corner.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
