The existence of the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and S10 Ultra is one of the worst-kept secrets in the mobile world at the moment. The two devices have been spotted on the 3C certification website, and many leaks have emerged.

Now, the latest leak gives us a clear look at the tablets’ designs. Android Headlines released an exclusive look at the two latest additions to Samsung’s lineup.

In a stunning turn of events, the two tablets look a whole lot like their predecessors. Joking aside, there are a few differences between the two that are worth noting. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has a notch at the top, most likely for its front-facing cameras. Samsung might surprise us with something else, but it’s not likely.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus lacks the notch, and it does seem to have thicker bezels (although that could be a trick of the eye based on the positioning in this shot). No official information has been given on screen sizes, but an educated guess puts them at roughly the same size as the Galaxy Tab S9 series.

The biggest takeaway is the complete absence of a “vanilla” Galaxy Tab S10. We’ve seen no hint of one, which suggests the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Tab S10 Ultra are the only two models.

No one is sure when the new tablets will hit the market, but rumors (and precedent) suggest a release before the end of the year, possibly even in the fall. Since Apple is hosting the “It’s Glowtime” event in early September, I wouldn’t expect Samsung to release these tablets until a few weeks later.

One thing is sure, though: With all the information and images hitting the web, it won’t be long until these two tablets are available for purchase.

Here’s a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S25’s new displays

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been on our radar for quite a while now, especially with a potential new design, AI functionality, and a whole slew of other awesome features. Its display has been a special topic of conversation with leaker Ice Universe's info drops, and now we have even more solid news: The tipster posted pictures of the actual displays online.

Ice Universe's picture shows the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra laid out side-by-side. The image confirms the theorized thinner bezels and the Ultra's rounded corners. It's not easy to gauge size based on a picture, but it's evident that the S25 Ultra is larger than the other two models. That said, Ice Universe previously suggested the display would be roughly 6.9 inches along the diagonal. This most recent shot lends credence to that.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and Galaxy S10 Plus.

Do you have an older Samsung Galaxy device, such as the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy Note 10, which came out in 2019? If so, you may want to hold off on the latest update for those devices, as 9to5Google is reporting that they’re getting bricked when the update is installed.

Samsung has gotten better about longer support for its devices over the past several years, but this also appears to have become a problem. For example, when the new update breaks your device and requires a factory reset to fix it.
