Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10 Ultra 14.6" Moonstone Gray 2024 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra offers a massive 14.6-inch screen and huge 512GB of storage (88th percentile) for under $800. Its performance is solid but not class-leading, and battery life is just okay at the 48th percentile. Buy it for the big-screen Android media and art experience, not as an iPad Pro killer.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a big-screen Android tablet that's built for media and creative work, but it's got some quirks. Its 14.6-inch screen lands in the 84th percentile for size and quality, and the 512GB of storage is a massive 88th percentile feature. That's a lot of space for movies, projects, or your entire digital art portfolio. But with a battery life score sitting at the 48th percentile, you're looking at a device that's more of a desktop companion than an all-day traveler. It's a powerhouse for specific tasks, but you'll want to keep your expectations in check for others.

Performance-wise, the Tab S10 Ultra is solid but not chart-topping. Its CPU and GPU scores both land in the 76th percentile, which means it handles most apps and multitasking smoothly. You won't be waiting on this thing. Our database shows it scores best for art and design (64.9/100) and entertainment (63.7/100), which makes sense given that huge, high-quality screen. Where it stumbles a bit is in raw multitasking horsepower; with 12GB of RAM, it's only in the 34th percentile. That's enough for most people, but power users who live with 50 browser tabs open might feel a pinch.

At $770, the value proposition is interesting. You're getting that massive screen and huge storage for hundreds less than a similarly specced iPad Pro. The included S-Pen is a big deal, as Apple charges extra for their Pencil. However, you're trading some performance polish and app ecosystem for that savings. If your workflow lives comfortably in the Android and Samsung universe, this is a lot of hardware for the money. If you need top-tier battery life or the absolute best performance, the trade-off might not be worth it.

Stacked up against the competition, the Tab S10 Ultra is all about screen size and storage. The 11-inch iPad Pro with an M5 chip will smoke it in CPU performance and app quality, but you'll pay more for less storage and a much smaller screen. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ is a more direct comparison; you save money and get a more portable 12.4-inch form factor, but you lose that expansive 14.6-inch canvas and half the storage. The Microsoft Surface Pro is a different beast entirely—a full Windows laptop replacement. The Tab S10 Ultra wins on media consumption and Android-specific creative work, but loses on versatility and battery.

Skip the Tab S10 Ultra if you need a tablet for serious business work or all-day portability. Its business score of 54.4/100 is its lowest, and the battery life percentile (48th) means you'll be hunting for outlets. Also, if you're deep into the Apple ecosystem or rely on iOS/iPadOS-only pro apps, the platform switch won't be worth the screen size trade-off. This is an Android specialist's tool.

We'd recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra if you're an Android loyalist who wants a giant screen for drawing, watching movies, or light work. The 512GB storage is a future-proof luxury, and the performance is more than enough for those tasks. But we'd tell you to skip it if you need all-day battery life, want the absolute best tablet app experience, or plan to use it as your primary computer. It's a fantastic secondary device for specific users, not a do-it-all champion.
