Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus is shaping up to be a budget-friendly alternative to the premium Tab S10 Plus—but is it a compromise worth making? With a larger display, a mid-range chip, and a more affordable price tag, here’s how the two tablets compare.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is one of the best Android tablets you can purchase, with benefits like the new Anti Reflection display and the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset. But at $1000, it is a tough sell. Samsung is aware of this, which is why it also makes the Galaxy Tab FE (Fan Edition) series.
The upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus will be the company’s latest mid-range tablet, and just like its predecessors, it will have a more approachable starting price.
There are rumors, however, saying the new Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus will start at $649, which is $50 more than the previous generation. But even with that rumored higher price, the Tab S10 FE Plus is shaping up to be a great tablet.
Besides a less powerful chipset and a somewhat downgraded display, the new mid-range tablet from Samsung might be just good enough!

Table of Contents:
The display is undeniably the most important part about a tablet, and when comparing the Tab S10 FE Plus to the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, it could be a polarizing theme for potential buyers.
On one hand, the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus comes with a large 12.4-inch OLED screen. It also supports HDR10+ content and is super smooth thanks to a 120Hz refresh rate. But what really makes it special is its Anti Reflection, which makes it more visible under direct light.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus is said to have a 13.1-inch display, which is almost 12% larger than that of the Tab S10 Plus. Of course, it most likely will be LCD, have a slower 90Hz refresh rate, and support only HDR10, but if you value a larger screen real estate then the FE Plus might be the better option.
We should point out, though, that if Samsung does not increase the resolution of the new FE Plus, the display will have even less pixel density (will be less sharp) than before.
But that bigger screen comes at a cost—a larger and heavier body.
