If you’re hunting for a well-priced Android tablet that’s perfect for occasional use around the house, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, which is currently discounted at Amazon to just $430. It’s one of our favorite Android tablets, with the right balance of features, power, and battery life for most people.
Despite using an LCD screen instead of the increasingly common AMOLED, the Samsung’s 10.7-inch panel is vivid and clear for most use cases. It’s great for curling up with a movie in bed and bright enough to use outside if you’re keen on adventuring with your devices.
At its core is the Samsung Exynos 1580 processor, the same chip found in the Galaxy A56, with 8 GB of memory. It isn’t the most high-performance tablet around, but it’s fully capable of playing games like Magic: The Gathering Arena, and can even handle more demanding titles like Asphalt Legends: Unite. At 497 grams, it’s light enough to carry around and hold without much effort, but our reviewer did note that the corners are slightly uncomfortable over longer sessions.
Despite the sizable screen and midrange performance, the Samsung manages an impressive 20 hours of mixed use without needing to be plugged in. It also has wireless charging, which can take it to full battery in under two hours. That’s all with a slightly smaller battery than we’re used to seeing, so good optimization and component selection helps a lot with longevity here.
Samsung also sweetens the deal by including a stylus, something most of our other favorite tablets can’t claim. It’s a basic but helpful addition and is great for occasional note-taking or just keeping smudges off your screen. It also has a built-in fingerprint sensor, which was a little hard to find at first but ended up being a more reliable option than face detection.
If you’re already a Samsung smartphone user, you’ll recognize the Samsung One U17 software, which is based on Android 15. It adds some great functionality without being super disruptive like other manufacturer launchers can be, but if that’s a deal-breaker, make sure to check out our other favorite Android tablets for more options.
