Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra review: big on size, low on reflection

Oversized and excellent – the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is immersive with a low-reflection display plus powerful MediaTek internals – but can its incremental upgrades justify such a premium price?

Digital Camera World Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is an incremental upgrade compared to the S9 Ultra and even the S8 Ultra, but it still has the biggest, best tablet screen on the block for watching widescreen content, which benefits from upgraded outdoor viewing thanks to the anti-reflective panel this year. You get a pressure-sensitive pen in the box, and its IP68 water resistance means the Tab S10 Ultra is a multi-purpose powerhouse. Let down by a mediocre keyboard dock, it isn't our top choice for productivity, but for entertainment, it's a winner.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a very big-screened, high-end tablet that's perfect for photo edits, pen tasks, and watching widescreen content, but it is a very incremental update.

The Tab S8 Ultra introduced the oversized form factor to the Tab S line, the Tab S9 Ultra added water resistance, and the Tab S10 Ultra upgrades the display. Unless you own a Tab S8 or S9 Ultra and are looking to upgrade, though, that isn't a bad thing.
