Samsung Fan Edition (FE) tablets have become a reliable choice for those looking for a budget-friendly alternative to the premium Galaxy Tab series.
Following the success of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, it appears the Galaxy Tab S10 FE is on the horizon.
Here's everything we know so far about the Galaxy Tab S10 FE's release date, price, and expected features.
When will the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE be released?
Samsung has not yet officially announced a release date for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. However, there are signs that it could launch relatively soon.
According to GalaxyClub's report, a promotion on Samsung's US website offering a one-year Goodnotes subscription to Tab S10 and Tab S10 FE buyers specifies that the offer is valid for devices purchased and activated by July 31, 2025. This all but confirms that the Tab S10 FE will hit the market well before then.

Looking at Samsung's history, the Tab S7 FE launched in June 2021, while the Tab S9 FE debuted in October 2023.
This inconsistent timeline makes predictions tricky, but some suggest the Tab S10 FE could launch alongside the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025 or with the Galaxy A56, expected in March 2025.
Either way, a 2025 release seems very likely.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE cost?
Pricing for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE has yet to be confirmed, but if Samsung follows its usual strategy, the tablet should target mid-range Android tablet buyers.

The Tab S9 FE was priced at $449/£449 for the Wi-Fi-only base model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with the same specs for the FE+ version starting at £599/$599.
A similar pricing structure is expected for the Tab S10 FE series.
What specifications and features will the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE have?
While official details remain scarce, rumors and leaks give us a good idea of what to expect from the Galaxy Tab S10 FE.
Design
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE will likely retain the sleek, minimalist design language of its predecessors.

What's new, however, is that it will likely support Samsung's Book Cover Keyboard accessories, and according to leaker Anthony on X, it could feature the new Galaxy AI button found on the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra.

I wonder if they’ll make a new one for the regular Tab S10 FE since that’s an 11” model…unless there isn’t a smaller model similar to the Tab S10 series pic.twitter.com/I8UbRKtEyF

Display
Samsung's FE tablets traditionally use LCD panels rather than the AMOLED screens found in higher-end models.
As such, the Tab S10 FE will likely feature a vibrant LCD display, possibly 11-inches, to fill the void left by the flagship Tab S10 line, which only includes larger models.
Performance
According to GizmoChina's report, speculation points to the Exynos 1580 chipset powering the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, a step up from the Exynos 1380 used in the Tab S9 FE series.
This should improve performance and power efficiency, the latter potentially contributing to battery life.
Leaker Anthony suggests that it could be the Exynos 2400e chipset, although this is not based on any concrete evidence.

The tablet should offer configurations with 6/8 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of storage, in line with its predecessor.
Cameras
A notable upgrade for the Tab S10 FE series is the main camera, which will (according to GalaxyClub) feature a 12MP sensor, up from 8MP in the Tab S9 FE.
This should improve the quality of photos and videos, making them better suited for casual photography and video calls.
Battery and charging
Battery capacity details are currently unavailable, but Samsung will likely equip the Tab S10 FE with a long-lasting battery, capable of handling heavy usage.
Expect fast charging support, although details remain unclear.

To recall, the Tab S9 FE was equipped with an 8,000 mAh battery and 45W charging support, while the S9 FE+ has a 10,090 mAh cell with the same 45W charging.
Software
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE will likely ship with Samsung's One UI 7 skin on top of Android 15, offering a user-friendly interface and access to Samsung's productivity features.
Judging by Samsung's website, US buyers will likely be able to get a free one-year subscription to Goodnotes, boosting the device's note-taking and productivity appeal.
It's unclear at this point whether Samsung will improve on the Tab S9 FE's commitment to four major OS updates and five years of security patches. For context, the Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra offer seven years of subscription to both.
That's everything we currently know about the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series. In the meantime, be sure to check out all the latest from the Galaxy S25 series.
