Samsung’s plans for the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 series seem to be changing.
Unlike previous releases, there won’t be a regular Galaxy Tab S10 model this time around.
Instead, Samsung will be focusing on the Galaxy Tab S10+ and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.
Reports from certain tech media outlets have confirmed that these two models, the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra, are definitely part of the new lineup.
The regular Tab S10 is noticeably missing, indicating that Samsung has decided to drop it.
For months, there have been rumours that the regular Tab S10 might not be included.
The IMEI Database has consistently shown only two models in the series: the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra.
Even after six months, there’s still no sign of the regular Tab S10 in the database, making it clear that it won’t be released.
Reports have previously confirmed the existence of the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra through the IMEI Database.
The Galaxy Tab S10+ has three different model numbers (SM-X826B, SM-X826N, SM-X828U) for various regions, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra also has three model numbers (SM-X926B, SM-X926C, SM-X926N).
These model numbers are for LTE versions with SIM card support. There are also Wi-Fi versions (SM-X820 and SM-X920) without SIM card support.
Despite numerous tests on the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra, there have been no tests for a regular Tab S10, further confirming its absence from the lineup.
Why is Samsung Discontinuing Regular Tab S10?
One reason could be the popularity of the Ultra series, first introduced with the Tab S8 series and continued with the Tab S9.
Another factor might be the minimal differences between the regular and Plus models, making the regular version seem unnecessary.
Moreover, Apple’s strategy of releasing only two models, like the iPad Pro, might have also influenced Samsung’s decision.
