Same Dimensity 9300+ as the Ultra delivers identical performance in the more compact form factor.

The Dimensity 9300+ delivers strong performance for multitasking and creative work, though the switch from Snapdragon raised eyebrows.

• The MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ handles heavy multitasking, Samsung DeX, and demanding apps smoothly
• Samsung's switch from Snapdragon to MediaTek was controversial but real-world performance differences are negligible for most users
• 16GB RAM in the higher-tier model ensures smooth performance even with dozens of apps and Samsung DeX windows open

• S Pen is included in the box at no extra cost — unlike Apple Pencil which is a $129+ add-on
• Latency has improved to near-Apple Pencil levels, making handwriting and drawing feel natural and responsive
• Air Command gestures and S Pen-specific features like Smart Select add unique productivity value

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+

The 10,090mAh battery provides excellent longevity for all-day use.

• 10,090mAh battery delivers 11-13 hours of mixed use — slightly less than the Ultra due to smaller capacity but still excellent
• 45W fast charging brings the battery from 0-100% in about 75 minutes

• 45W fast charging fills the large battery from 0-100% in about 80 minutes

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+

At $999, the Tab S10+ offers most of the Ultra's experience at a meaningful discount — the better buy for most Android tablet shoppers.

• At $999, it delivers 90% of the Ultra experience at $200 less — most reviewers consider it the better value
• Still pricier than the iPad Air M3 while facing the Android tablet app gap criticism
• The included S Pen and Samsung DeX add meaningful value that isn't available on competing tablets at this price

Premium pricing puts it in direct competition with the iPad Pro, where the app ecosystem comparison doesn't favor Android.

• Starting at $1,199, it's priced competitively with the iPad Pro 13-inch but the included S Pen adds value
• For Samsung ecosystem users already invested in Galaxy phones and watches, the integration benefits justify the price
