For workers lugging heavy laptop bags and businesses seeking to provide employees with flexible technology for working remotely, sleek and powerful tablets hold a lot of appeal. But for a tablet to be your go-to device for important parts of your workday, it has to tick many boxes.
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra do just that, combining PC-like performance with smart multitasking features that make for a powerful productivity tool, whether you are on the go or at a desk connecting to a monitor.
Samsung has been refining its business-focused tablet line for some time. The original Galaxy Tab S, released in 2014, was its first foray into designing an Android tablet specifically for business multitasking. Over the years, it hasn’t stopped innovating, adding an advanced S Pen — which is included in the box at no additional cost — compatibility with Samsung DeX, and boosting storage, memory and battery life.
The Galaxy Tab S10+ includes a 12.4-inch anti-reflective display, while the Tab S10 Ultra boasts a 14.6-inch screen with a 16:10 wide ratio while retaining the thin, light form factor. Both come in moonstone gray and offer wide-angle, front-facing cameras and integrated video calling.
The Galaxy Tab S10 line also recognizes a business’s unique connectivity needs, with Wi-Fi 6E support available on Galaxy Tab S10+, Wi-Fi 7 on Tab S10 Ultra, as well as 5G support and a dual SIM that could be leveraged in organizations that use a private network.
Best of all, the Galaxy Tab S10 line now comes packed with incredible Galaxy AI* features that give tech trailblazers a creative studio with unique ways to create content while enjoying maximum productivity. And the included precise S Pen makes the Galaxy Tab S10 models the most optimized for AI-powered creation.
For a deeper dive, here are 10 reasons to replace your laptop with Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ or Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra:
1. A large screen with optimized intelligence to show your products and ideas
With remote and hybrid work now the norm, having an effective work setup wherever you log in has never been more paramount. With a 14.6-inch display, larger than what’s available on most notebooks, Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra certainly meets that criteria, and anti-reflection ensures you don’t miss anything, even in sunny outdoor settings. Add in the Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that guarantees sharp contrast and color quality — including a Vision Booster that uses an intelligent outdoor algorithm to adjust the illumination — and you won’t miss a beat, even on the go.
Laptops might be the primary office companion for some, but tablets offer a new world of features for those looking to tackle productivity outside the office. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra’s large screen means you can see the results of translation, summary, and search at a glance. This allows you to replace your laptop with a tablet, so you can enjoy a lightweight, portable solution with the processing power to move you through your day.
2. Greater productivity with customizable multi-window layouts and Circle to Search with Google
Many of us spend our workdays juggling tasks like responding to email messages, entering data into business applications and managing key performance indicators on a web-based dashboard. This becomes harder when you have to jump in and out of each application constantly.
The Galaxy Tab S10 lineup goes beyond the fixed layouts of earlier generations with diverse multi-window layouts. This makes it easy to participate in a video call while taking notes or show product images to a customer with a payment application for when they’re ready to take the next step. You can adjust the height and width of each layout to create the ultimate personalized workspace.
You can avoid toggling in and out of applications and a search engine by using Circle to Search with Google. It’s an AI-based feature that lets you simply draw around a word, image, or object on the screen and immediately get more details or answers to common questions through Google, with results displayed on a side panel. If you find something in a foreign language, you can overlay translation on any screen.
As you check out content online, Browsing Assist can help you make sense of what’s on the pages by creating precise summaries.
Of course, multitasking isn’t just about doing more than one thing at a time but working accurately and precisely. This is where Drag and Split comes in, allowing you to show the current page of an app and then new content in a split view. Making quick visual checks like this can help keep your projects moving forward. Galaxy Tab S10 models also include an enhanced document scanning capability to digitize all your documents and reports.
3. Processor power to handle the most demanding business applications
If your Galaxy Tab S10+ or Tab S10 Ultra is going to replace your laptop, it needs powerful internals to match.
The Mediatek 6989 is faster than its predecessors, providing the performance necessary to run bandwidth-intensive apps in real time. Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra comes in three configurations and the Tab S10+ in two configurations, which can be extended to 1.5TB with an external microSD card:
Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
- 16 GB + 1 TB
- 12 GB + 512 GB
- 12 GB + 256 GB
Galaxy Tab S10+
- 12 GB + 512 GB
- 12 GB + 256 GB
Galaxy Tab S10 Series also comes with built-in enterprise-grade security and management through Samsung Knox, offering a range of multi-layered encryption options to guard data at rest and protect data in transit.
4. PC-like productivity via Samsung DeX
You don’t need to forfeit the experience of a full desktop when you use a tablet. Samsung DeX allows you to use your tablet like a traditional PC — with access to multiple windows, drag-and-drop functionality and more.
Either connect any Galaxy Tab S10 to a monitor using a USB-C cable or wirelessly cast to any Miracast-enabled TV. DeX also makes working with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) applications more intuitive than ever, connecting to your virtual desktop PC from practically anywhere.
DeX also supports app window transparency as a normal mode and provides both a portrait or landscape mode.
5. Digital note-taking and drawing to transform paper processes
Here’s something you can’t do on a traditional laptop: Draw, write and take notes, all with an included S Pen. Sketching ideas and annotating PDFs is a breeze in the updated Samsung Notes app. No matter what apps or tools you use, the latest Samsung Notes can assist with any note-taking task. For example, you could upload a PDF, some text or a recording of your voice. Samsung Notes can transcribe, translate and check the spelling automatically.
Samsung’s smart stylus stores and charges directly on the back of Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra, so you never lose it. You can even use the S Pen to navigate presentations with an in-air mouse. An optional S Pen Pro2 delivers even greater performance with a 60-degree tilt, pressure sensitivity and the choice of tips specifically designed for writing or drawing.
Features like Note Assist with Galaxy AI, meanwhile, can help boost your productivity by organizing everything you jot down with your S Pen and summarizing it, so it’s easy to find the key details. It can even convert your notes from one language to another.
6. Speedy connectivity wherever your workday takes you
The rise of hybrid work models means you might be doing your job at home as much as the office. Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra ensure you can stay connected with Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 respectively for a reliable mobile experience.
For those who need flexible connectivity for productivity anywhere, Galaxy Tab S10+ offers faster and more secure Wi-Fi 6 and 5G.
Strong connectivity is critical when you’re working independently or communicating and collaborating with others. The Galaxy Tab S10 models also enhance those areas with Galaxy AI features like Chat Assist, which can tailor your messages to sound more professional or casual, depending on your recipient.
Then there’s Live Translate, which can translate your speech in real time, whether you’re talking to an international client or chatting in person with someone more comfortable speaking in a language other than English.
7. Keyboard usability that lets you tap into AI
A touchscreen is great for being productive on the go, but what happens when you want to sit down and edit a document, a video or put together a slideshow?
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s 2-in-1 Book Cover Keyboard provides the same keyboard functions as a PC with a full-size, backlit keyboard, which has convenient shortcuts for DeX and your favorite apps. AI hotkeys on the Samsung keyboard add even greater functionality. You can make a short press to enter a prompt like “Book a flight to New York” or make a long press to have your tablet listen as you ask something more complex. You can even wirelessly share the keyboard between your tablet and phone.
Let’s say you’re using your keyboard to help make that slideshow. If you include images you’ve taken, Generative Edit can turn every photo into a masterpiece by adjusting colors, removing unwanted objects, and making other suggestions. When you’re using your tablet to edit videos, Instant Slow-Mo can transform your footage into more engaging clips.
The book cover offers various standing modes optimized for different uses, like creating versus presenting content. Enjoy the convenience of having your screen automatically turn on or off when you open or close the cover. Meanwhile, a Note View cover is optimized for natural note-taking when using the S Pen.
8. A camera to enhance and bring convenience to video calls
We’re now as likely to be gathering for meetings on screen as we are in a boardroom, so how we present ourselves and see each other on video needs to be as professional as possible.
Both Galaxy Tab S10 devices feature large screens that lend themselves to an immersive experience. The models also feature an ultra-wide front-facing camera with auto framing, which even works in dynamic situations. A three-way microphone and noise cancellation capabilities can improve sound quality, and a feature called AI Super Clear Voice can smartly analyze sound sources to isolate and boost your voice while suppressing other sounds.
Talking to someone who speaks another language? Use Interpreter with Galaxy AI to instantly translate a recording of your call to be read aloud or as text.
Samsung also offers higher-quality integrated video calling thanks to partnerships with leading platforms like Cisco Webex. With a press of a button or an air gesture with your S Pen, you can mute your mic, control your camera, or end the call.
Once your video call ends, you can lean on Transcript Assist, a Galaxy AI feature that intelligently recognizes different speakers and creates transcripts in your preferred language.
9. Access to pro-level and B2B-specific apps
When you invest in the best mobile hardware, you want to be able to run the best software as well. The Galaxy Tab S10 line supports some of the most popular professional productivity apps, such as GoodNotes, which makes it even easier to handwrite on a tablet screen, and ArcSite, which facilitates quick and easy CAD/CAM designs.
These flagship tablets seamlessly integrate with the Microsoft Office suite, allowing business users to effortlessly access Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, and more while on the go, ensuring productivity and collaboration wherever they are.
Samsung has also forged partnerships with software providers that specialize in serving business-to-business (B2B) processes. Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra users can leverage Wrike or Notion, for instance, to tap into enterprise-level project management capabilities or Zoho Campaigns to run their e-marketing efforts. Folia, meanwhile, is great for reviewing documents and making annotations with your S Pen, and Bigin gives Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra users access to customer data via a mobile CRM.
10. A connected experience to work seamlessly across your entire Galaxy ecosystem
Emailing files or images from your phone to your PC is annoying, as is constantly connecting and reconnecting accessories like earbuds.
The benefits of switching to Galaxy Tab S10+ or Tab S10 Ultra include a connected experience with other Samsung Galaxy devices. That way, you can instantly access Samsung Notes content from a Galaxy Z Fold6 on your Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra or set it up as a second screen. Your Galaxy Buds3 Pro can also easily switch between Galaxy Tab S10+ and other Galaxy devices.
