Samsung launched its amazing and flagship tablet Samsung Tab S10 Ultra in the month of September last year. This is the most expensive and latest tablet of Samsung which is above the budget segment of one lakh, which is a competitor of Apple iPad. People have compared it with Apple iPad Pro M4, in which its speed test, Geek-bench, gaming, and camera have been compared. However, this is one of the most powerful processor tablets of Samsung. Its booting test was done with iPad Pro M4, in which Samsung has clearly won, it booted before iPad Pro M4.
Samsung has launched the tablet with a really big display, which becomes very difficult to hold even with one hand. The 14.6 inch display is an excellent option for watching movies and videos, whose view experience is quite great. Samsung software and color contrast show absolutely natural colors. In gaming, it will provide a great color and smooth performance, but gaming becomes a bit difficult in such a big display. Since gaming with both hands is becoming a bit difficult, in which controlling the game and handling the tablet both will not be possible simultaneously. However, Samsung has taken special care of this as well.
Gaming can be done by connecting Samsung Tab S10 Ultra with a console. Gamers have seen a completely different experience in playing with a gaming console. While playing with the console, they felt it like a laptop, in which they can also connect the keyboard with the console. The display of Samsung Tab S10 Ultra supports HDR10 + with Dynamic AMOLED 2X and 120Hz refresh rate. Its resolution is also framed at 1848×2960 pixels, and it is really very sharp and clear. Yes, it will be fun to watch Netflix and OTT content in it. The big display really enhances gaming and the experience is also amazing.
There is not much change in the previous model of S10 Ultra. S9 Ultra had a 12.6 inch display and in this year’s model it has been increased by 2 inches.
Processor & Performance
Now S10 Ultra has Mediatek’s Dimensity 9300+ chipset. In which 4 nm technology has been used. From this we can understand that Mediatek’s Dimensity 9300+ is at par with Snapdragon 8 gen 3. This flagship category chipset is known for ultra smooth performance and fast processing power. Samsung has not been stingy in this, it has understood its need in the tablet. Along with this, the software has been enhanced in it. It has been especially seen in Samsung tablets that they have a lot of lags, which used to hang many times even in the middle of processing.
However, this tablet is above one lakh, which is not easy for everyone to afford. Samsung has also enhanced the new Tab S10 Ultra well with AI. Dimensity 9300+ is integrated with AI, which helps in enhancing the software even better. Along with this, a dedicated AI key is also given in the keyboard, which can be used to use AI by single tapping. By getting many types of work done with AI, you can reduce time consumption in daily routine. AI is playing a good role in photo editing.
Software
The Tab S10 Ultra comes with Android 14 and Samsung One UI 6.1. Samsung has recently updated its UI. In which it has come with more smooth UI and many new features. While other companies are earning extra income on the name of UI, Samsung is making a splash with its UI in the same price range. Samsung UI is proving to be good for live translation, commands and other purposes.
It is so well integrated with Android that it is working well without any lag or problem. Usually, many problems have to be faced in these, but not with this. If we consider it a bigger version of Samsung S24 Ultra, then it will not be less, because just like Samsung has worked hard in its smartphone segment, it is also working well on tablets. Samsung is also giving a guarantee of 7 years of software update in S10 Ultra. This means you will keep getting all the software updates and security updates from Android 14 to Android 21. In this case, Samsung has gone one step ahead of Apple.

Camera
Tablets are usually used for official work, making notes, online study and watching movies. Tablets are never camera specific and no customer buys a tablet just for camera. If I talk about myself, I bought Samsung’s tablet S6 Lite and its only purpose was to come home from office in the evening and watch Netflix on it. Therefore, tablets were never made for camera, where on one hand we can carry smartphones in pocket and take them anywhere, but it takes effort to hold a tablet as big as tab S10 Ultra with both hands.
Now talking about camera, Samsung tab S10 Ultra has been given dual camera setup. In which the primary camera is a 13 MP normal wide angle camera and its focus is f/2.0, 26mm (wide), 1/3.4″, 1.0µm. This autofocus camera is really a great camera in comparison to tablets. The second camera set is an 8 MP ultra wide angle camera, and the focus is f/2.2, (ultrawide).
It takes ultra wide angle shots decently sharp and clear. Talking about the photos of S10 Ultra, the quality of the photos looks much better when viewed in the phone than in the camera. Due to the low pixels in the 14.6 inch display, the photos taken from it do not look good in the camera itself. In the camera test, S10 Ultra is not very special but it is a good camera tablet.
For video recording, Tab S10 Ultra has support for 4K@30fps and 1080p@30fps. Which is capable of taking both HDR photos and videos. Although Samsung has been very stingy in its features, if it had also supported EIS or OIS, the camera performance could have been enhanced more. For video recording, it is very important to have EIS and OIS, which helps in stabilizing the video.
For selfies also, a dual camera setup has been seen in it. It has a 12 MP main selfie camera and the focus is f/2.2, 26mm (wide). The second camera is an ultra wide angle 12 MP camera setup and the focus is f/2.4, 120˚ (ultrawide). There is no doubt that the selfies in Tab S10 Ultra will be very good. Provided you have to see the photos in the phone.
Battery
The Samsung Tab S10 Ultra has a battery as big as the tablet itself. Once fully charged, it gives enough backup to last for 3-4 days. The S10 Ultra has a Li-Po 11,200 mAh battery. Such a big battery will last for 3-4 days with heavy tasks and tasks. It can easily last for a week in standby. The special thing is that when gaming was done in the S10 Ultra, it gave a great backup and there was no heating issue at all. The company has not disclosed the video playback timing, but it will easily last for 4-5 days.
The Tab S10 Ultra’s bigger battery, the more will be the charging time. That is why 45w fast charging support has been provided, which will charge 80% of the battery in 35%. MediaTek’s processor and Samsung OEE 6.1 help in enhancing the battery well.
Samsung Tab S10 Ultra is a great flagship level tablet which is priced at ₹1,08,999 on Amazon and ₹1,33,999 on Flipkart. Flipkart is also offering a slightly higher price. Tab S10 Ultra is best suited for those who need to make notes for official work or daily routine tasks, students can study and take classes online as it has a big 14.6 inch display and S-Pen helps in making notes. For entertainment purposes like watching OTT content or watching videos on YouTube, gaming, Tab S10 Ultra is a one step destination for all your needs.
