The large, 12.4-inch screen surpasses most of its competitors (the similarly-priced iPad Pro is 11-inches), and if that is somehow not big enough, there's also the larger S10 Ultra (14.6-inches) to consider.

Value: 5/5 Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus: specs Though Samsung elected to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in the Galaxy Tab S9 family, the tech giant has surprisingly chosen the Mediatek Dimensity 9300+ for the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus. It’s a confusing move that further separates its high-end smartphones from its high-end tablets. This year's tablet still launches at the same price as last year's.I never noticed performance lacking. Putting quick images together in Canva, editing photos in Google Photos, and trimming and cutting up clips in CapCut never resulted in any hangups. Comparing performance through benchmarks, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor doesn't have a huge advantage. The Mediatek 9300+ chip performed better than, if not equal to, the Snapdragon on every test.It’s worth noting that the Tab S10 Plus also comes with a MicroSD card slot in case you want to bump up the storage capacity or if you want to quickly transfer photos over from a camera. Additionally, during my testing over two weeks, I only charged the Tab S10 Plus a handful of times and it never felt like I needed to charge it every night. With such a big battery inside, charging speeds weren’t as quick as a smartphone, and 30 minutes was only enough to bump it up from 20% to 54%.

At no point did anything look bad, blurry or washed out, with the display more than capable of showing enough color and creating enough light to fill an interesting scene.Outside of simply describing the display, Samsung’s approach to multitasking is second to none. The freedom you’re given to adjust apps running concurrently, side-by-side on the screen, with easily adjustable boundaries, feels like the real laptop-rivaling feature of the Galaxy Tab S series.To match the strong display, the four speakers located around the device offer powerful, room-filling sound.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus: One-minute review

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is the best of both worlds, sitting between a phone and a laptop. It has perks if you prefer writing text, with its included S Pen stylus, and it aces tasks that take advantage of everything the stylus has to offer. But to the casual consumer, these specialized features would likely be a waste, and I'd instead push you in the direction of the Tab A series.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus has exceptionally rich sound to match its beautiful AMOLED display, and it's comfortable enough to hold for a while in its landscape form factor. It's no surprise that streaming content and listening to music with the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is so satisfying.

Close rivals, particularly from Apple, also do this exceptionally well, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus's $999.99 / £999 / AU$1,799 price point puts it in heated competition with Apple’s iPad Pro ($999 / £999 / AU$1,699). Still, with the included S Pen stylus, and some retailers offering the Galaxy Tab keyboard as a bundle bonus , the Tab S10 Plus looks like a better deal all-around.

Samsung still sells the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, and its price is now more accessible, even though that tablet is a generation old. But if you want the best, you'll want the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, and if you want a bigger screen, then consider the Tab S10 Ultra, which is the same tablet just bigger.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus: price and availability

• $999.99 / £999 RRP / AU$1,799 for the 256GB / 12GB RAM model
• 256GB, 12GB RAM and 512GB, 12GB RAM storage options available
• Wi-Fi and 5G options available in Moonstone Gray and Platinum Silver colorways (not all colorways available in all markets)

Android tablets primarily operate in the midrange segment apart from one big exception – the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Series. The ‘Ultra’ variant in this lineup is typically the one you should go for if you’re interested in replacing your laptop with a sleek slate. Samsung’s flagship is a clear upgrade from its Android peers in terms of hardware, photography skills, and performance. This is also the reason why they cost north

life, and overall user experience. Galaxy Book4 Pro Design & Build Quality Sleek and Professional The first thing that catches your eye with the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is its stunning Moonstone Gray finish, which strikes a perfect balance between professional sophistication and modern minimalism. The smooth metal chassis feels premium in hand, with its brushed aluminum giving off a refined yet robust appearance. At only 1.4 kg (about 3 lbs), this laptop is impressively lightweight and portable, making it an excellent option for people who are constantly on the go. The thin profile is just 11.9mm thick, meaning it can easily slip into a bag or backpack without adding much bulk. Yet, despite its slimness, the laptop feels solid, thanks to its well-built structure. Samsung’s engineering here ensures that it can withstand the wear and tear of daily usage, while still remaining a fashionable accessory for modern professionals. Attention to Detail The hinge on the Galaxy Book4 Pro is smooth and sturdy, allowing the display to open and close with a seamless, reassuring motion. Samsung has paid particular attention to the tactile feel of the keyboard and trackpad — both are well-positioned and responsive, delivering an excellent typing experience with a decent amount of key travel. The backlit keyboard comes in handy for late-night work sessions, offering multiple levels of brightness adjustment. The laptop also features a wide precision trackpad, which supports all the modern gestures available in Windows 11, ensuring smooth navigation across tasks. Display: 3K AMOLED Excellence Crystal-Clear AMOLED Display Arguably the standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is its 14-inch 3K AMOLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800. This panel is a feast for the eyes, delivering deep blacks, vibrant colors, and sharp visuals that are characteristic of Samsung’s best AMOLED screens. Whether you’re watching movies, editing photos, or simply browsing the web, the colors pop with an incredible range of contrast. The 3:2 aspect ratio is ideal for productivity tasks, providing more vertical screen real estate to work on documents or browse through long web pages without needing to scroll as frequently. For creatives, the screen’s high pixel density ensures razor-sharp image clarity, while the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage guarantees accurate color representation — an essential feature for video editors, photographers, and designers. Touchscreen & 360-Degree Flexibility The Galaxy Book4 Pro isn’t just about beautiful visuals, it also includes a touchscreen with support for multi-touch gestures. The touchscreen is responsive, accurate, and ideal for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to interacting with their laptop. With 360-degree hinge flexibility, it easily transitions between a traditional laptop and a tablet, making it highly versatile for presentations, creative work, or even just casual media consumption.

In 2024, Samsung has made a solid move in the ultra-premium laptop market with the release of its Galaxy Book4 Pro. This model, boasting a 14-inch 3K AMOLED touchscreen, is part of the next-generation of Samsung laptops, aimed at professionals, creators, and tech enthusiasts who demand both performance and aesthetics. The Intel Core 7 Ultra Processor, 512GB storage, and cutting-edge security features set the stage for this laptop to be a standout performer in its category. In this in-depth review, we’ll cover every aspect of the Galaxy Book4 Pro, from its design and build quality to its display, performance, battery life, and overall user experience. Galaxy Book4 Pro Design & Build Quality Sleek and Professional The first thing that catches your eye with the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is its stunning Moonstone Gray finish, which strikes a perfect balance between professional sophistication and modern minimalism. The smooth metal chassis feels premium in hand, with its brushed aluminum giving off a refined yet robust appearance. At only 1.4 kg (about 3 lbs), this laptop is impressively lightweight and portable, making it an excellent option for people who are constantly on the go. The thin profile is just 11.9mm thick, meaning it can easily slip into a bag or backpack without adding much bulk. Yet, despite its slimness, the laptop feels solid, thanks to its well-built structure. Samsung’s engineering here ensures that it can withstand the wear and tear of daily usage, while still remaining a fashionable accessory for modern professionals. Attention to Detail The hinge on the Galaxy Book4 Pro is smooth and sturdy, allowing the display to open and close with a seamless, reassuring motion. Samsung has paid particular attention to the tactile feel of the keyboard and trackpad — both are well-positioned and responsive, delivering an excellent typing experience with a decent amount of key travel. The backlit keyboard comes in handy for late-night work sessions, offering multiple levels of brightness adjustment. The laptop also features a wide precision trackpad, which supports all the modern gestures available in Windows 11, ensuring smooth navigation across tasks. Display: 3K AMOLED Excellence Crystal-Clear AMOLED Display Arguably the standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is its 14-inch 3K AMOLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800. This panel is a feast for the eyes, delivering deep blacks, vibrant colors, and sharp visuals that are characteristic of Samsung’s best AMOLED screens. Whether you’re watching movies, editing photos, or simply browsing the web, the colors pop with an incredible range of contrast. The 3:2 aspect ratio is ideal for productivity tasks, providing more vertical screen real estate to work on documents or browse through long web pages without needing to scroll as frequently. For creatives, the screen’s high pixel density ensures razor-sharp image clarity, while the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage guarantees accurate color representation — an essential feature for video editors, photographers, and designers. Touchscreen & 360-Degree Flexibility The Galaxy Book4 Pro isn’t just about beautiful visuals, it also includes a touchscreen with support for multi-touch gestures. The touchscreen is responsive, accurate, and ideal for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to interacting with their laptop. With 360-degree hinge flexibility, it easily transitions between a traditional laptop and a tablet, making it highly versatile for presentations, creative work, or even just casual media consumption.
