Samsung is gearing up to release its next flagship tablet series, the Galaxy Tab S10, within the next two months. This lineup is expected to introduce a significant change in its processor, as Samsung might use a MediaTek chip in its flagship tablet for the first time. However, a recent leak suggests that the charging speed won’t see any improvement.
Charging Speed Remains the Same as Galaxy Tab S9
The Galaxy Tab S10+ (SM-X820) and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (SM-X926C) have been certified in China by the China Compulsory Certification (CCC). According to documents (via MySmartPrice), these tablets will support fast charging speeds of 45W (10V and 4.5A), similar to the Galaxy Tab S9 series, which launched in mid-2023.
No Information on the Base Galaxy Tab S10
Interestingly, the base model of the Galaxy Tab S10 is absent from the CCC certification database, as well as from other common sources of leaks. Some rumors suggest that Samsung might only release the Plus and Ultra variants of the Galaxy Tab S10, and this absence might support that theory.
Expected Features and Launch Date
The Galaxy Tab S10 series is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, a 4nm chip made by TSMC. This chip boasts eight high-performance CPU cores and ARM’s powerful Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU with hardware ray tracing. The tablets are rumored to launch in October 2024.
Potential Enhancements and Software
Samsung is also rumored to focus on productivity improvements with the Galaxy Tab S10 lineup. However, it remains unclear if there will be upgrades to the screens, cameras, or battery capacities. The tablets will likely come with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 and could receive up to seven years of Android OS updates.
