Samsung learned half a decade ago that devices sell more if the word ‘Lite’ is removed from its name. That’s why we’ve got the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and its similarly named brethren heading to a retail store near you. As is usual with the South Korean company, there’s seemingly nothing like infosec taking place around its existence.
That’s my Quandt
A Bluesky account that shuttles between leaking tech details and complaining about the current state of America (so… just a regular Bluesky account, then) has posted details of the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+, two devices that are expected but not yet confirmed for launch anywhere.
The account, helmed by one Roland Quandt (via GSMArena), has dropped screen and storage details for Samsung’s upcoming FE refresh. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE is supposed to pack a 10.9in display, while the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ will scale that up to 13.1in. Both devices will feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

That’s it as this entirely unsubstantiated claim goes but it’s also wholly believable for folks who follow Samsung around all day. Samsung’s control of its internal supply chain makes these specs very possible, while earlier leaks speaking about Exynos 1580 processor innard for both, 12MP front-facing cameras, and 5G/WiFi-only models are also probably on the money. All that’s missing is a launch date and an image or two but those are due.
The Tab S9 FE, which still starts at R13,000, first appeared in 2023. A two-year gap is about right in terms of the development cycle and since Samsung is a creature of habit, we can probably expect a launch sometime in October this year. If everything goes the same way it did the last time Samsung refreshed this range, there won’t be much of a show around the launch of its mid-range tablet hardware.
