Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ Ai WiFi Model SM-X620 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is a large, capable Android tablet that's best for artists and media watchers on a budget. It includes the S Pen and has great battery life, but its international model status and older WiFi 4 connectivity are notable trade-offs for its sub-$500 price.

Looking for a big-screen Android tablet that won't break the bank? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is squarely aimed at you. It's a 13.1-inch WiFi-only slate that comes with an S Pen included, running Android 15 with Samsung's One UI 7 on top. For around $450, you're getting a massive, high-resolution display, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, and a battery rated for up to 21 hours. It's designed for media consumption, light productivity, and digital art, though our data shows it's strongest for art and design tasks. Just keep in mind this is an international model without cellular support, which can make initial setup a little quirky.

Under the hood is Samsung's own Exynos 1580 chip built on a 4nm process, paired with 8GB of RAM and an Xclipse 540 GPU. In our performance database, its CPU and GPU scores both land in the 77th percentile, which means it's comfortably above average for an Android tablet. For everyday stuff like browsing, streaming, and light gaming, it's plenty fast. You won't feel it lagging. The 8GB of RAM (70th percentile) helps keep multiple apps open without constant reloading. It's not going to beat a flagship iPad Pro in raw speed tests, but for the price, the performance is solid and reliable.

At $450, the Tab S10 FE+ sits in an interesting spot. It's significantly cheaper than a 13-inch iPad Pro or a Galaxy Tab S10+, but it offers a similarly massive screen and includes the stylus. You're trading some premium build materials, top-tier screen tech, and faster connectivity for that lower price. If your main needs are a big canvas for drawing, a portable movie screen, and basic web tasks, it delivers a lot for the money. The included S Pen alone is a $100+ value on other tablets.

The most direct competitor is probably the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro 12.7, which offers a similar large-screen Android experience at a comparable price, though without water resistance or an included stylus. If you're platform-agnostic, the base model 11-inch iPad (10th gen) is around the same price but gives you a smaller, higher-quality screen and access to the iPadOS app ecosystem, though you'd need to buy an Apple Pencil separately. Stepping up to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ gets you a better AMOLED display, a more powerful chip, and WiFi 6, but you'll pay several hundred dollars more. For pure media consumption, cheaper Amazon Fire Max 11 or Onn tablets exist, but they lack the performance and pen support of the Samsung.

Skip this tablet if you need cellular data on the go, demand the absolute best screen quality (this uses an IPS LCD, not OLED), or get frustrated by non-standard setup procedures. Power users who move large files frequently will be hampered by the USB 2.0 port. If those are deal-breakers, consider a domestic model Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ or a refurbished iPad Pro for a better display. Also, if reading e-books is your primary use, our data shows this is its weakest category, so a dedicated e-reader or a tablet with a sharper, more eye-friendly screen would be a better fit.

So, should you buy it? If you want the biggest Android tablet screen you can get for under $500 and you plan to use the S Pen for notes or art, the Tab S10 FE+ is a compelling pick. The performance is good, battery life is long, and the IP67 rating is a nice bonus. But, be ready for the oddball setup process of an international model and accept that the WiFi 4 and USB 2.0 specs feel a bit behind the times. If seamless setup, faster local file transfers, or future-proof WiFi are priorities, you might want to look at a domestic model or a different brand.
