Samsung sparked debate over whether it would introduce a Galaxy Tab S10 FE series as a budget-friendly alternative to its premium Tab S10 models; however, the FE line surprisingly skipped the Tab S8 technology and proceeded directly to the Tab S9 FE.
According to reliable sources, including Samsung itself, fresh FE tablets are reportedly on the horizon. Samsung US is offering one year of Goodnotes absolutely free to customers who purchase a Galaxy Tab S8 or Tab S8 FE.
Particularly, the provide reads “Activate your Tab S10 or Tab S10 FE system by July 31st, 2025.” While we shouldn’t read too much into the exact release date, it’s likely that the Tab S10 FE tablets will hit shelves before then.
When can they launch? With the Tab S7 FE duo arriving in mid-2021 and the two Tab S9 FE models introduced in October 2023, it’s clear that there is no consistent timeline.
Samsung may release the Galaxy S25 smartphones. One alternative launch date could be concurrent with the Galaxy A56, given their potential shared processor – both the Tab S9 FE and Galaxy A54 were equipped with the Exynos 1380 chipset, while the Tab S10 FE and Galaxy A56 may utilize the same chip. The Samsung Galaxy A56 is expected to arrive.
Although the FE series may satisfy demand for an 11″ option, as the Tab S10 fashion variants currently only come in 12.4″ and 14.6″ sizes, Samsung’s website remains vague on specifics. It is possible to infer that multiple devices are being referred to with this naming convention, given the inclusion of “FE” which suggests a variation or iteration.
