More details are coming into place for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 series. The tablets are expected in October and both are controlled by the Dimensions 9300+ instead of the traditional Snapdragon chip. Yes, “both”, because the third model, the small Galaxy Tab S10, will reportedly get cut from the line-up.
We already saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ (SM-X828U) Run Geekbench With the 9300+ chip, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (SM-X926B) has done the same. Just look at the motherboard lineup, it says “gts10u”.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (SM-X926B) scorecard from Geekbench 6.3.0
As for the 8-core CPU cluster, it features only big cores – four Cortex-X4 cores (one at 3.4GHz and three at 2.85GHz), plus four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.0GHz. The GPU (not tested by Geekbench) is an Immortalis-G720. The Dimensity 9300+ also has Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, and the tablets have optional 5G connectivity (the chip’s 5G modem supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave).
The last interesting line in the Geekbench report is the RAM – it’s 12GB, the same as on the Tab S9 series. There should be a version of the Ultra with 16GB of RAM, but that will likely only be offered in some regions and only with some memory configurations (the Tab S9 Ultra had a 16GB/1TB variant, for example).
The Dimensity 9300+ is expected to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy’s chip (despite their later launch, it’s unlikely that Tab S10 slates will come out after 8 Gen 4). The MediaTek chip is also likely to be cheaper than Qualcomm’s, which should be a win-win as far as Samsung is concerned.
