The Galaxy Tab S10 FE is Samsung's answer to buyers who want the Tab S experience without the flagship extras, and the compromises are sensibly chosen. The 10.9-inch screen is a TFT LCD rather than the AMOLED you get higher up the range, so blacks are greyer in a dark room, but it is sharp at 2304 x 1440 and plenty bright enough for a train commute or a kitchen worktop. What lifts it above ordinary Android tablets is the S Pen, which comes in the box rather than as a costly add-on, making it genuinely useful for handwritten notes, marking up PDFs and sketching. The Exynos 1580 handles everyday multitasking, streaming and note-taking comfortably, though it is not a gaming machine. An 8,000mAh battery rated for up to 20 hours of video, a 6mm-thin 497g body and IP68 water and dust resistance make it easy to live with, and microSD expansion up to 2TB means the 128GB base storage is not a ceiling. For students, note-takers and anyone who mostly reads, watches and types, it covers the essentials well.
