Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A series has been a reliable choice for mid-range tablet users, offering a balance of performance and affordability.
With rumours circulating about the upcoming Galaxy Tab A10, here’s a closer look at what we might expect.
When will the Galaxy Tab A10 be released?
Samsung has historically released new Galaxy Tab A devices every one to two years, typically in late summer or early autumn.
The Galaxy Tab A9 and Galaxy Tab A9 Plus were launched in October 2023, following the Galaxy Tab A8 in December 2021 and the Galaxy Tab A7 in September 2020.

Following this pattern, the Galaxy Tab A10 could make its debut in late 2024 or early 2025. However, with limited leaks so far, the precise release timing remains uncertain.
Bearing in mind that as the entry-level Galaxy Tab A9 wasn’t available in the US, it’s possible that the Tab A10 won’t be sold there either.
How much will the Galaxy Tab A10 cost?
The pricing of the Galaxy Tab A10 has not been officially disclosed, but expects it to remain within the mid-range segment, staying true to the affordability of the Galaxy Tab A series.
Positioned below the premium Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the Galaxy Tab A10 is likely to offer a strong combination of performance and value, appealing to budget-conscious users.
As a reminder, the Galaxy Tab A9 starts at £169 in the UK, while the Plus model costs £239/$219. It’s likely that the newer models will be priced similarly.
What specs and features will the Galaxy Tab A10 have?
While official specifications are yet to be confirmed, a report from give us a glimpse into what the Galaxy Tab A10 might offer.
Design
The Galaxy Tab A10 could maintain the sleek and sturdy design language of its predecessors, with a lightweight build and slim bezels.
While exact details on the materials or dimensions are unavailable, Samsung is likely to deliver a device that feels modern and durable.

It’s also possible that we’ll see some changes, such as the ‘Key Island’ familiar from the Galaxy A series phones.
Samsung may also be making the Tab A10 more like the Tab S series, bearing in mind the earlier discontinuation of the entry-level Galaxy Tab S10.
Display
Tthe Galaxy Tab A10 is said (via ) to feature an 8.7-inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 800 x 1,340 pixels (HD+).

This display should provide clear visuals suitable for everyday tasks, including web browsing, multimedia consumption, and light productivity.
Although it won’t match the resolution of premium tablets, its screen size and clarity will likely offer a satisfying viewing experience for most users.
Performance
The tablet will likely be powered by the Dimensity 6200 Plus processor, a yet-to-be-confirmed successor to MediaTek’s Dimensity 6100+ series.
This chipset is expected to offer improved efficiency and performance, making it well-suited for mid-range tasks.

The Galaxy Tab A10 is rumoured (via ) to come with two configurations: one with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and another with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
While the base model may suffice for casual users, the higher-end variant will better support multitasking and storage-intensive applications.
Cameras
The device is expected to include an 8Mp rear camera and a 5Mp front camera.

While these specifications are modest, they should be sufficient for basic photography, video calls, and scanning documents.
However, users seeking high-quality imaging capabilities may need to look elsewhere.
Battery & Charging
A 6,000mAh battery is anticipated for the Galaxy Tab A10, paired with 25W fast charging.

This is a notable improvement over previous models, such as the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, which only supported 15W charging.
Although the battery size might feel slightly small for an 8.7-inch tablet, the faster charging should minimise downtime and improve convenience.
Software
The Galaxy Tab A10 is expected to run Samsung’s One UI 7, based on the latest Android 15.
Samsung has been consistent in providing long-term software updates for its devices, so users can likely expect support through at least Android 16.
The Galaxy Tab A9 also offers four years of security patches, so the same period is expected for the Tab A10.
