The Galaxy Tab S10+ has a feature its newer Plus successor leaves behind. Its included S Pen handles both on-screen writing and Bluetooth Air Actions in compatible apps. For someone who advances a presentation from across the room, that can matter more than a newer processor. It is also a 12.4-inch tablet with room for two pages and four speakers for video.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ review

Best fora buyer who wants Samsung's larger AMOLED format and still uses Bluetooth S Pen controls.

The 2800 × 1752 AMOLED screen adds an anti-reflective treatment to the format of the S9+. That is useful in a bright meeting room where there is little choice about which way a chair faces. Reflections can still be visible outdoors, so the coating alone is a weak reason to replace an otherwise suitable tablet.
Notebookcheck saw fewer reflections on the S10+ than on older Galaxy Tab screens, yet reflections were still apparent outdoors. The coating helps most when you can also choose where to sit. 1
Pen & Cameras
- Bluetooth S Pen with Air Actions included
- Optional keyboard cover
The S Pen can mark up a document directly and operate supported remote controls when its Bluetooth functions are available. Check the app you plan to use for a presentation. Samsung fits one 12 MP ultrawide camera on the front, with a 13 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultrawide on the back.
Performance & Storage
- MediaTek Dimensity 9300+
- 12 GB
The Wi-Fi model here pairs a Dimensity 9300+ with 12 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage. The 512 GB model keeps the same amount of RAM. Adding a card of up to 1.5 TB can be a practical way to carry images and finished projects without stepping up in built-in storage.
Alternatives
The S12+ brings a 12.6-inch screen and a newer processor, but omits remote Air Actions. The smaller Galaxy Tab S11 is easier to hold if the usual task is reading or viewing films alone.
Verdict
Buy the S10+ if the combination of a generous OLED screen and remote-capable pen fits a real task. If the pen will only touch the screen, compare current prices and software needs across both Plus generations.
