Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra: Should You Upgrade?

I’ve had both the 12.9 IPad Pro and the S9 Ultra. I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem but I bought the S9 Ultra out of curiosity thinking I would return it. The S9U is just so good I sold the iPad. I never noticed a speed difference and was blown away by how powerful Android is and the ‘slow compared to an iPad’ snapdragon chip handled it like a champ.

I'm disappointed by Samsung's decision not to make the S10 model. I have Tas S8 Ultra and Tab S9+, and I wanted to buy a little model this year. So unfortunate...

[@AndroidDigest]

I hear you. I'm disappointed too

[@MrPoliarinis]

Don't do that. Used to have tab s8ultra, thought that it's to big, so.sold it, got s9.. yes, good tablet and so onbut I miss my s8uktra just because of size.. of course if you idea is to use it without keyboard maybe it's a different story, but if you want something to be used as simple tablet get a cheaper options

[@tiffanyt9329]

I will say it again I don't think tech now was never meant to switch over to the next generation for little improvement. Or a major upgrade from the previous generation of last year tech. It's supposed to buy it if you have an outdated tech and you want something new at that time. For example, I bought the Samsung 10.1 tab A in the year 2019. Last year, I wanted a bigger screen, so I got the s8 ultra tab , which was big and an upgrade improvement from my previous tablet. I think tech has so much better technology inside of it, memory, storage , processer, etc. compared a decade ago where you need to upgrade to the next generation but not anymore. S9 series will fade out like the s8 series, etc. So in the next couple of years, it will be s11 and s12 and so on. Is to buy it now if you have an outdated tech at that time you need it. But if you don't, then don't buy it. So I,m keeping my s8 ultra tab probably won't upgrade until the s12 or s13 ultra tab then I will see an upgrade or major improvements over the s8 ultra tab. I wait until several generations to see a difference. That's my 2 cents. Lol. Ps. I'm watching this on my s8 ultra tab.

[@AndroidDigest]

I do tend to agree with you. But financially speaking, trade-ins do change that. You keep your device for more years, but it's also worth less for every year you keep it. If they are offering $650 this year but they only offer 350 next year, you could really go either way. Yes, upgrading less overtime will save you money. But upgrading more, and getting better trades (especially when they are paying you over the used value on eBay). Trading earlier has advantages. That's why I mentioned for myself, it's not the best value to upgrade to the S10 Ultra from the S9 ultra, the S8 Ultra is sort of a toss-up, but the older models, it might be time for some of those people

[@sorra300-]

Trade in isn't as good as everyone says it is. If you sell it privately you get about 25% more than trade in value. People forget you don't just pay the amount between but you pay the value of the thing you trade. The trade in where i live for the s9+ is 600 usd but the s10 plus cost about 1200 usd. This 600 add on. Its not worth it. Selling it privately i got offers of 800-900, some even at 1000. This inbetween 300 usd. Also we change technology so much that the 7 years upgrade isn't really worth it for a lot of people.

[@AndroidDigest]

I think people don't realize how big of a deal this is. When your tablet is running out of software updates. When the battery is 4 years old. Getting that much money off is a pretty big deal. I'm sure Apple wouldn't give much of anything for a 4-year-old tablet. So to restart that cycle, it's a big deal

[@OddOneOut665]

I'd say the only recent model that make this worth upgrading to are just the S9 FE/FE+ ones.... Also, if you have the S7 (FE too) and under, than its also worth upgrading from those too!

But can't decide. Should I get s9 ultra tab or tab s10+? Ultra has a bigger screen but the charm of s10+ is in the 7 year android upgrade promise. If s10 ulta wasn't priced at $1000 even after sale, perhaps I would have considered it. the sale has s9 ultra at 899.99 s10 + at 849.99 s10 ultra at 999.99

That's exactly why I brought it up in my last video before this! That's basically $300 extra you are getting off. Plus you can upgrade the storage with an sd card vs an iPad that makes you pay hundreds more. Plus the stylus comes with it. This is a massive upgrade too. You are going to love it.

[@mouchipurplebts3992]

I am about to buy my FIRST tablet. But I’m so confused .Should I go for these? S10 or S10 ultra?

[@AndroidDigest]

Well simply put, if you want the best tablets, yes. Feel free to check my initial reviews I dropped. But these tablets are amazing. The best on Android. Again the only big difference between the in Plus and Ultra is screen size, 300 nits of brightness extra on the ultra, and a second front facing camera on the ultra. The Ultra is massive, 14.6 inches, bigger then most laptops. And if you buy the keyboard case, it costs more, AND it's bigger. If you buy the $350 keyboard case with a touchpad remember it magnetizes to the back and had a kickstand to hold up the transfer AND the keyboard. So on a desk for example it takes up more room than a laptop on a desk because of the extra kickstand space it needs. It's light, but because it's so big, picture what it is like to hold the ultra, at 14.6 inches, by one side. It's like holding a laptop by the corner or side. It's just too big for that. If I have a presentation I can hold the Plus comfortably on my side and hold it by the side. The ultra is just harder to hold with one hand. But, it's a lot of extra screen real estate . A massive screen for movies or for drawing. The Plus is smaller, intended to give you a mix of portability, but still give you a large screen. The keyboard cover isn't backlit but it is big enough to actually give a full sized keyboard. 12.4 inches isn't small. The biggest iPad is 13". So a lot of people will want to save the $200 and get a more portable device that is still big. And you will get pretty much all of the same features. Some will want the largest screen possible for drawing or movies, and that extra front facing camera. It depends on who you are. Watch both of my initial reviews of the Ultra and Plus for more info

[@charlesleonard9459]

Since it’s your first tablet then the newest version is not a bad choice. However if you want to save a few bucks then the previous generation is probably the way to go. The next question is what size screen. If you want an eleven inch then it has to be the S9.

[@djbneozen]

Can you do a brightness comparison? I understand that one screen is anti-glare but what about the NITs? Any noticeable visual difference? When we use them in the car the only way you can see the s9 in the daytime Is when the sun is directly on the camera and the brightness increases to maximum. There's no way to keep it that bright, and therefore it's basically unusable in indirect sunlight.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yes. I'll be looking at that! Stay tuned. I don't have a way to measure nits but I'll share brightness details and try to do a comparison. I don't have the S9 Ultra to compare BUT I do have an S9 Plus and the S10 Plus. So I'll compare them both at little and full brightness, and show b roll side by side

Hi, I need others opinion. Right now I do not have a tablet and I'm thinking what to do. I want a samsung tablet as I have the s23 ultra phone and galaxy6 watch, so you know, stay in the ecosystem. But I don't know which tablet should I buy: S9 (other vesrions are really difficult to get in my country) / S10+ / S10 Ultra. I'm a person that is using the tablet mostly for reading/watching, but I want to start my journey with drawing, as I'm planning to start graphic design program next year. I'm leaning more towards the new version with 512gb (and free keyboard), but then still don't know which version, like what exactly would be the difference beside the price and size?

[@AndroidDigest]

There's one extra front facing camera on the Ultra. That's about it. They both have sd card slots so you could always get less storage and just get an sd card. Not everything can save to the sd card but a lot of apps that have media or movies will allow you to go into their app settings and change the save location to the sd card. The Ultra has a bigger screen though. That's really what you are paying for. The only difference MAY be brightness levels. 930 nits for the ultra, 650 for the plus. But it's hardly noticeable. No other real differences. Different battery sizes but the screen will drain more battery on the plus so it evens out. Hopefully this helps

I m confused between tab s9 or m4 ipad pro ? Which one is better for gaming,note making.

It's very complicated. There's no doubt the iPad will have more power. But it won't be super noticeable. And ESPECIALLY if you want more storage, the ability to put an sd card in, plus getting the s pen in the box, all of this makes the tab s9 a much better value. But it's not a better tablet. I'd say the m4 is a little better. But you'd have to buy the pen separately. And it will cost a little more

[@andyH_England]

The iPad is better for gaming; that is objective. For note-taking, I would say Samsung, as their S-pen has lots of tricks, but the iPad also does a good enough job. If you are keeping for a long time then no-brainer the M4 iPad as its OLED lasts twice as long and the M4 chip is future-proofing your device for years to come. If you upgrade more regularly, then this is not so important.

Or watch out for some S9 Sales! We may see a regular Tab S10 with the Galaxy S25 Ultra next year! We'll see!

[@Kadoom1131]

I just got a s9 ultra for 700 $ . Damn , i love this thing , i forgot how permissive android was .

[@AndroidDigest]

It's pretty awesome. Glad you got a good deal

[@octaviorosousa9001]

Im watching this video on my tab S9+ in which I'm not going to upgrade anytime soon.

[@Pepsiisgood]

I mean I plan to get an S10+ (I never had any Tablet before) to have it as an e-reader and to watch Netflix on it, because the anti-reflection could be a key-factor but I more likely probably get either an S9FE+ or an S9+ since I just got into e-reading and would be a waste of money to get an S10+ if I wouldn't really use the entire tablet (meaning I wouldn't use it for work nor to draw, nor to play games) so the S9FE+ will probably be enough since reading on phone was the most concerning thing, I need a bigger screen, and even if its LCD, that will be more than enough since I was able to get lost in a book even with an A34 it just that it doesn't feel the right reading experience.

[@AndroidDigest]

Sounds like you should get the fe model. And enjoy it! That's my take. Enjoy either one though

[@sigmitnavn]

I have the Google tablet and bought it for games strategic and so on. But even if it stands in the Play store under the "for tablet" section it uses halv the screen, thats just so so so so BAD. And i dont like Apples pricing. But i must admid that apps are far better on iOS, its SO SAD. I want d To go all in on Android, but when i buy a game that supposed to be optimized for tablet. My expectations are equally high. This is THE most important thing to be fixed in the future PERIOD!!!

[@AndroidDigest]

I will agree. We have to keep it real. There are a couple of extra apps on ios but ALSO we have to admit that some apps are better optimized

[@CsTruth]

I have a feeling the trade-in deal for tab s9u to tab s10u will be pretty good. Wanting to upgrade to a 1TB storage and the anti-reflective panel is pretty tempting.

[@AndroidDigest]

I think you're far better off getting a 1 terabyte SD card and going with the cheaper tab s10 ultra. But you do whatever makes you happy. I don't think most people will notice that extra ram and I think you can get your storage a cheaper way and still experience the tablet pretty much the same everyday. But hey, these tablets are awesome and if you want the best of the best, that's going to be the best way to go is to get the one terabyte model I guess

[@andyH_England]

In the UK, trading in the Tab S9 Ultra gets you £400, which is an £800 hit in 12 months. No sane person who cares about money will do that, as the S10 Ultra is barely an upgrade. Also, it is £1550 for the 16GB version, so it is shockingly expensive for a Samsung tablet. So I cannot imagine many people upgrading from the S9 unless they are well off. As for upgrading from the Tab S8U, there are minimal gains. Most people use these indoors, so water resistance and antiglare are moot. Again trade-in sucks so easy pass.

[@AndroidDigest]

I get it especially in your area.

[@adriandugiel_tischtennis]

Hi 😌 i have one question about a new Tab S10 Ultra Would you recommend this tablet for video editing? I do some 4K Videos editing and I consider also to switch to Android specifically for S24 or maybe S25 Ultra. I do like a bigger screen of Tab S10 Ultra than 11” or 13” iPad Pro M4, I do like the design as well. I would be happy, if you could help me. 😀

[@AndroidDigest]

You won't love my answer but my answer is "I think so". Luma Fusion is the best video editing program in my opinion on Android. I tried it with the Tab S9 Plus and I had mixed results. I imported my 4k footage and created proxy files. And then started editing. It worked great. But towards the end of the project it started to slow down. I do 10 to 15 minutes videos with a roll and b roll. All 4k footage. But my 4k footage is from my Sony camera. I truly believe that if I used 4k footage from a phone things would have went better and it would have been smoother. But I think the format I used slowed things down. If you do shorter videos than me, less b roll, (video on top of you talking) OR if you're using videos from your phone, I believe in all of those situations you'll probably have a smooth experience overall.

[@adriandugiel_tischtennis]

I will just use my phone (I’m about to buy S24 Ultra and record 4K) and edit on Tab S10 Ultra. I don’t really need a professional Sony camera or something 😅. But most of time I will use it to write some mails, listen music or this kinda stuff. That’s why I will prefer to have a bigger screen. A new MacBook Pro or iPad Pro 13” with pencil and keyboard will be around 2000€ and this is for me as a student a lot of money. With a student discount I am able to buy Tab S10 Ultra for only 1100€ and I’m getting as preorder a keyboard for free. So would you recommend this combination (S24 Ultra and Tab S10 Ultra)? Would you say, that everything is going to work smoothly and without any problems?

[@AndroidDigest]

I would. I think you will enjoy it. You can quick share files too between them. You can set it up to get your messages on the tablet. You can use your phone hotspot to quickly share with your tablet. I think it will be a great experience.

[@Star_Gazing_Coffee_Lover]

Don't much care for the anti reflective coating on my s24 ultra, seems to wear off within a few months.. Think ill just keep my s9 plus.

The S9 Plus is amazing. So I don't blame you!

I've been thinking of getting A Tab S10+ 5G 12 GB RAM 512GB Because Gaming Doesn't get Hot and stays Cool which is great for long period of times when playing Roblox Heavy High End Games at Full Graphics the Optimization on my Samsung Tab S6 Isn't Doing Great and I'm looking forward to it Just Sad they didn't Add Snapdragon But im Sure it'll Work Perfectly Great And Nice Video

[@AndroidDigest]

Thanks so much! Yeah, this Medatek device should be a big upgrade for you. Pretty massive! I think you will really enjoy the S10 Plus. Just remember, you can always get the 256GB and then get an sd card! You can't save everything to the sd card, but most apps that download offline media let you specify where to save the media. You can often find cheap sd cards too on amazon. So just some advice from my perspective.

[@MooncoawDD]

@@AndroidDigest Thank You For The Advice I'm Worried though the Tablet Might be Big I have the 10.5 Inches which is Pretty Small but Not too small Although it has Less Performance When playing Heavy Games The S9 could be an option to Get but S10's Anti Reflective Screen is Great For me.

[@kayeassy]

The really repelling thing here is Mediatek chipset. Very bad for gpu tweaking and everything. And you since we are talking about performance mediatek is really unreliable because of thermal throttling as well. I'll not upgrade till they bring back snapdragon to their flagship tablets... I owned a S7+ and now I own a S9+ and I am not going to switch for next 3-4 yrs

[@silvanigra]

Unfortunately, at these prices you can get a really great laptop that offers you way more than a tablet, regardless of how advanced it is.

[@AndroidDigest]

I get the argument you're making. If someone only has enough money to buy 1, many should buy a laptop, also agree. But most laptops at that price won't have as good of a screen, or speakers, and some people do prefer Android. There can be a market for both even if most people may just buy a laptop. A laptop and a cheaper tablet is a smart play

ADVICE please! I dont currently have a tablet. I have an outdated laptop and want to upgrade. Should i go for the s10, or can i get a good deal on an s9? Im not a gamer. I will be using it to watch shows. Other than that, nothing too crazy. What should i buy?

[@AndroidDigest]

It depends on if you want to go to the new market or the used market. The used market will have a lot of great Tab S9, S9 Plus, or S9 Ultra. If you're buying new, prime day sales are in a couple days. You may save like $200 going with something from the s9 lineup but you'll also have some compromises compared to the newer models. It's a toss up. The newer models also get 7 years of os updates. It really depends on what you want. Personally if I was starting fresh. I'd pull a fast one on Samsung. I'd look at the trade in deals. If they offer $650 for a s8 ultra I'd find one on eBay for $450 or $500. From a reputable seller in good condition. And I'd trade it in for $650 to Samsung to get a little bit extra off the newer models. (This may only apply in the US, where trades are better). Or I'd just consider going with a s10 model due to the updates. BUT if you really really want a great deal and you are more about value, maybe check the used market, or check prime day deals coming tomorrow and the next day. I'm sure you'll see some s9 Plus and Ultra discounts and the s9 series is still great

[@sludgesnerve]

s8 ultra is the pinnacle of all tablets including samsung's,new models are just made to make money.

[@AndroidDigest]

It was a great addition. But you're getting like 500 more nits of brightness on the s9 and s10 ultra, a better screen, better performance, and better battery life and more updates. There are good reasons to upgrade. But also good reasons to keep what you have because the s8 ultra is great

[@BreakingDimes]

my concern with the mediatek chip is not the chip it self tbut the mali gpu it has which is absolute garbage for most games and emulation

[@AndroidDigest]

Are you talking about certain games just not optimizing for the chip? Because power wise this chip is pretty good

[@BreakingDimes]

@@AndroidDigest the mali gpus in general has a very poor open gl driver leading to performance issues in a lot of things the power may be their but if the software isn't up to snuff it won't matter

[@BreakingDimes]

I wish sansung just used the exynos 2400 instead

[@BreakingDimes]

@AndroidDigest I just went ahead and got a tab s9 plus for $800 bucks

[@silvanigra]

Apart from those trying to decide whether to upgrade or not, what about a first buy? Is it worth forking out the extra for S10+ or should I save the difference and just go for the S9 edition? What am I missing in the long term? Limited support/updates?

[@AndroidDigest]

You are going from 4 years of updates, with 1 year already passed, to 7 years if you get the plus. You're missing an anti reflective screen, and you are missing a slight bump in performance. Also the regular S9 is a little smaller. If you find a crazy sale on the s9 series it's a better value. BUT if it's just $100 to $200 more. The S10 series may be better

[@andyH_England]

Qualcomm modems are very expensive. It costs Apple $8 billion annually, so Samsung may not be far away. Apple is trying to develop their own modem as feeding a rival like Qualcomm is bad business, and I assume Samsung had to keep costs down, hence Dimensity and no 5G. Even though they charge extra, the costs probably still exceed how much they charge consumers.

Keeping my s8 ultra.Sorry. I'm Not sold...th. . \e display changes is Not enough

[@AndroidDigest]

That's completely okay! The S8 Ultra is still great today and I believe you've got a couple of years of updates left, so there's some time. I'm seeing display charges + 2 generations of processors, more brightness, water resistance, I think there's a lot there, but it may not be worth it to you. Even with the good trade in deal it's not worth it to everyone, I get that. Sometimes the best thing to do is stick with what you have, don't blame you if that is your decision. I think S8 owners should CONSIDER but ultimately it's your call

[@Mike-tr6bz]

@AndroidDigest tnx for the reply. I use the s8 ultra just to watch videos inside my home. All it matters to me is the nice big screen. Hopefully s11 ultra will have a bigger display like 15-16 inches...

People in the comments are on a bunch of BS I don't want to hear no BS talking about they would upgrade their tablet but yet these are the same people that would upgrade their phone every year which is a waste so spare me the BS

[@AndroidDigest]

Very true. I'm seeing a lot of hate on this tablet for some reason, but we see very minimal upgrades every year and a lot of these people will also upgrade their phones. Sure, it's not the best value to upgrade from the tab S9 Ultra to the tab S10 ultra, but it's honestly not that bad of a value either. Even if it's a minor upgrade though, I was finding it crazy that people were saying it's a terrible deal to upgrade from the S8 series. But these tablets are actually a pretty decent jump from that. I get both sides for sure. But this tablet has seen a lot more hate than I expected, just because it's one of the more minimal upgrades we've seen in a while

[@mordmartin]

You should only upgrade if you have the Tab S7/S7+/S7 FE.

[@AndroidDigest]

That's not a bad opinion. I essentially told people: Tab S9 Series - not worth it, but maybe enthusiasts will upgrade. Tab S8 series - it's a toss up for them. Maybe if they get a good deal or if they want to. Tab S7 series and below. Your updates are practically gone, I recommend upgrading now. 7 years of OS updates from here on

[@pauleasther]

The elephant in the room you avoided is the keyboard? The magic keyboard is a winner and until Samsung make an equivalent instead of offering their B grade case, then I’m staying with iPad even though I’ve got a S24 and Watch 7.

[@AndroidDigest]

This is very true. No doubt. Dexnor made an alternative, and honestly the keyboard section of it is amazing. The touchpad is iffy but if you can use a Bluetooth mouse it's amazing. At least for the S9/S10 Plus (it will fit the same case). I get you though. I used to think Samsung's way of doing keyboards is better but I enjoy the magic keyboard style more than I expected

[@andyH_England]

The Apple keyboard is light years ahead of Samsung's expensive effort. If like me, the keyboard experience is vital, then the iPad is the de facto choice as Samsung's is just poorly designed and nasty to use.
