While companies like Xiaomi and OnePlus have entered the tablet market, in 2024, Samsung remains the top name in Android tablets. Their latest flagship, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 5G, is proof of that.
Design and display
Remember the theatrics when Steve Jobs pulled the first MacBook Air out of an envelope to show how thin it was? Samsung pulls a similar trick with the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 5G. When I opened the slim box, I found a sleek, ultra-thin tablet with a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.
The large screen is balanced by its remarkably thin, lightweight design, making it easy to hold despite its size. The display has fantastic viewing angles and an anti-reflective screen, making it perfect for reading by a window or lounging by the pool.
Good for entertainment, great for notes and more
The speakers are powerful enough to fill a quiet room, ideal for binge-watching your favourite shows. Plus, it comes with the S-Pen included, which elevates the experience further. The S-Pen is responsive, with excellent touch sensitivity, making it great for drawing, writing, or taking notes. I enjoyed using it in a vertical orientation, reminiscent of a childhood slate. It glides effortlessly on the screen, accurately capturing handwriting and sketches.
A standout feature is Samsung’s “Sketch to Image,” also seen on their smartphones. It converts your rough sketches into polished images, a fun and creative tool for both casual and professional users.
Can this be your primary device for work and play?
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, this is Samsung’s first flagship tablet with a MediaTek processor. It handles multitasking and intensive apps with ease, and I experienced no heating issues, even with extensive use. The tablet also supports several Galaxy AI features, enhancing functionality further.
The camera includes AI-powered tools as well, allowing users to remove unwanted elements from the background. While the overall camera quality could improve, these smart features add versatility to an already powerful device.
Battery life and final verdict
Despite its slim build, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has an impressive battery life. After moderate use, it lasted a full three days on a single charge.
Priced at ₹1,08,999 for the Wi-Fi version, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is undoubtedly the best Android tablet of 2024. With its stunning display, responsive S-Pen, powerful processor, and new AI features, this tablet leaves little room for the competition.
