- 512 GB version: $1,319.99
- 1 TB version: $1,619.99
Prices may differ regionally (import duties, local taxes, retailer markup). In reviews, many comment that Samsung has kept its Ultra price in line with past generations despite added AI features.
If you are in Pakistan (or South Asia), expect a premium over U.S. retail — often 20–40% extra depending on import costs, warranty, and seller markup. (You may want to check local listings or Samsung’s Pakistani website.)
What’s New & What’s Improved
AI & Smarter Features
Samsung promoted the Tab S10 series as “AI-ready” tablets. The hardware sees boosts over the Tab S9 Ultra: ~18% increase in CPU performance, ~28% in GPU, and ~14% in NPU (neural processing).
Galaxy AI tools such as Note Assist, Sketch to Image, Circle to Search, automatic summarization of audio into notes, and in-app translation make the S10 Ultra more interactive and intelligent.
Display & Vision Quality
The 14.6″ AMOLED panel is breathtaking in size and fidelity. Samsung also added an anti-reflective layer to reduce glare outdoors. This is crucial when working in bright environments or by windows.
Build, Durability & Extras
Armor Aluminum provides a sturdy frame, and IP68 certification protects against dust and water.
You still get the S Pen bundled, and there is a magnetic dock on the back.
Also notable: the microSD slot (expand to 1.5 TB) — a rarity among premium tablets.
Performance in Real Use
- Multitasking & Productivity: Thanks to the robust chipset and generous RAM, the S10 Ultra handles split-screen, multi-window, and heavy productivity apps smoothly.
- Gaming & Creativity: The large display and quad speakers make it a strong multimedia/gaming tablet. Artists and illustrators will appreciate the canvas space and S Pen responsiveness.
- Battery Life: The 11,200 mAh battery holds up well under mixed use, though with such a large screen and bright content, expectations should be modest under heavy usage.
- Cooling & Heat: Some reviewers mention that under sustained heavy work (e.g. video rendering), heat buildup is perceptible—but not extreme.
- Cameras: The rear cameras are serviceable for document scanning, quick snaps, or video calls, but they’re not flagship-phone level.
Pros & Cons Summary
Pros
- Massive, gorgeous AMOLED display with 120 Hz smoothness
- Feature-rich AI toolkit built in
- Strong build quality, IP68 water/dust resistance
- Expandable storage (microSD)

Should You Buy It?
If you are a creative professional, power user, or someone who wants a tablet that can double as a serious productivity hub (drawing, design, multi-tasking), the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a compelling option. Its blend of AMOLED grandeur, AI tools, and strong internals make it one of the most ambitious Android tablets to date.
However, if your needs are modest — reading, light browsing, media streaming — you may find better value in smaller or mid-range tablets. Also, check what deals or discounts local sellers in Pakistan may offer. Sometimes last-generation flagships or equivalents can give nearly the same experience for less
