Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 is getting a Fan Edition this month
The new Galaxy Tab S10 and S10+ will launch April 17 in Australia in three colours: Grey, Silver, and Light Blue.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra was a pretty solid offering when it launched last year. I still firmly believe that Samsung has gone a little bit mental trying to market useless AI features, but from a hardware perspective, the Tab S10 Ultra was a solid alternative to an iPad.
I am a little surprised to see Samsung launch a Tab S10 Fan Edition six months later though. Was the tablet so successful that it needs a Fan Edition version so soon?
Samsung is bringing two screen sizes to the FE models. There's the 10.9-inch Tab S10 FE and the 13.1-inch Tab S10 FE+, both of which offer LCD displays up to 90Hz and measure just 6mm thick.
There will be both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi and 5G versions for both sizes, with options for 128GB or 256GB on board storage.
Here's what the specs look like:

If you were hoping Samsung was going to ease back on its AI rhetoric, you'll be disappointed. The Tab S10 FE is laden with AI features, from Circle to Search (are people actually using this, I wonder?) to using the Notes app to do maths problems for you, and making photo and video editing a bit easier.
You do get an S-Pen in the box, which is arguably the one area Samsung has a clear advantage over Apple in the tablet space.
