Samsung announced a fresh tablet device this morning, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. Samsung mentions that this is a “value-packed tablet for everyday needs,” that launches on September 4 (next week), but doesn’t include pricing in its press release. They must still be debating on where they want to be.
The specs likely won’t blow you away, as this is a value tablet, but we have a 10.9-inch TFT display with 90Hz refresh rate and Exynos 1380 chipset with up to 8GB RAM (256GB) or 6GB RAM with the 128GB model. Other specs include an 8MP camera on the back, 5MP camera on the front, microSD slot, 8,000mAh battery (Super-Fast charging supported), WiFi 6, and Android 15.
The tablet does come with an S Pen in the box, as well as plenty of AI features to ensure you’re getting good software value at launch. Samsung highlights features such as Handwriting Assist, Math Solver, Circle to Search, as well as a dedicated Galaxy AI key on the Book Cover Keyboard (sold separately).
Galaxy Tab S10 Lite launches in three colors: Gray, Silver, and Coralred. And yeah, no information on exact pricing yet. To give you an idea of where it might be, Samsung has the Galaxy Tab S10 FE at $499. We’d like to see this tablet around $299-$399.
Update: So, yeah, we were way off. What we thought would be a budget-friendly tablet, with specs that don’t draw much excitement, is priced at $799. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE again is priced starting at $499, features a higher IP rating, is thinner than the S10 Lite with the same size battery (and has better charging speeds at 45W), has better cameras, and more RAM. We’re not sure what Samsung’s plan is here.

Tim. The price looks to be $349. Where'd you get $799 from?
Remember when the S-budget tier got you OLED and quad speakers for $399? My Tab S5e remembers. Sure, prices in general go up over time but the features don't typically backslide massively along with it.
$799 is this a joke? Something is WAYYYY off here
This product makes no sense. They should have released a standard 10 with OLED. Too many models now and way over priced for the plus and ultra.
There is no S11 Plus which is tragic b/c I felt that the S8/S9 + was the sweet spot in terms of size/specs.
Samsung is bungling their tablet releases left and right. I predict the S10FE will be swiftly discontinued to make room for this disaster.
What's the point of this when there's the FE and the A Series Tabs?
not to mention software support on the tablets are lagging behind phones
Amazing
