The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is awesome, but it’s let down by the state

[phillynews215]

You have to hand it to Samsung. Even during the darkest days of Android tablets, when Google itself saw no value in the form factor, Samsung kept pumping out slates every quarter. In fact, it eventually started making ultra-premium tablets to compete with Apple’s more expensive iPads. In some ways, it’s paid off now that Google has at least started offering lip service to large-format devices, but at least until we see the rumored pro-grade Pixel Tablet, if you want a premium Android tablet, Samsung is really your only choice.

Samsung is now on its third generation of Ultra tablets with the $1,200 Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra — the top slate in the Tab S10 series. This device looks like a carbon copy of 2023’s Ultra tablet with an identical 14.6-inch OLED and slim aluminum body, but the S10 Ultra has gotten an internal remodel featuring a MediaTek processor. Still, this extra-large, extra-powerful, extra-expensive tablet, clearly designed for power users, feels a bit lacking as a professional tool when there are almost no apps that take advantage of all it offers.
