Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Samsung 12.4" Galaxy Tab S10+ 256GB Multi-Touch Review

The Galaxy Tab S10+ is a battery life champion, sitting in the 99th percentile. That 10,090mAh cell means you can forget about charging for days of normal use. It's also packed with AI features that feel genuinely useful, not just gimmicks, landing it in the 97th percentile for features. You get a gorgeous 12.4-inch OLED screen, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, making it a powerhouse for media and creative tasks.

Performance is solid, but not class-leading. The MediaTek MT6989 CPU puts it in the 67th percentile, which is plenty for Android apps, multitasking, and those AI tricks. The GPU is in a similar spot at the 66th percentile, so it'll handle games fine, just don't expect desktop-level rendering. Where it really shines is the screen and battery combo. That OLED display is in the 88th percentile for quality, and when you pair it with a battery that lasts this long, you've got a perfect binge-watching machine.

The value really depends on which vendor you buy from. Prices swing from $800 to $1000. At the lower end, it's a compelling package for the screen and battery. At a grand, you're paying a premium for Samsung's AI ecosystem and build quality. You're not getting the raw performance per dollar of some competitors, but you are getting a uniquely long-lasting and feature-rich Android tablet.

Compared to the Apple iPad Pro with the M5 chip, the Tab S10+ loses badly in raw CPU/GPU speed but wins on battery life and has a more open file system. Next to the Microsoft Surface Pro 11, the Surface is a full Windows PC with more powerful processors, but it's heavier, more expensive, and its battery doesn't come close. The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro offers a similar screen size for less money, but its performance and battery life are lower. If your priority is all-day battery and cool AI features in the Android world, this is your pick. If you need max performance for pro apps, look at the iPad Pro or Surface.

The Galaxy Tab S10+ is the tablet you buy for its marathon battery and slick AI features, not its benchmark scores. If you're an artist who doodles, a student who takes tons of notes, or someone who just hates charging devices, it's a fantastic choice. But if your workflow needs the absolute fastest processor, you'll want to look at an iPad Pro or a Windows tablet instead. For most people who live in the Android ecosystem and want a premium, long-lasting slate, it's a easy recommendation.
