Samsung Electronics Australia has announced the launch of the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a versatile new tablet designed for entertainment, creativity, and productivity. The device, available from September 26, starts at AUD $599 and aims to cater to everyday users with its robust features and affordability.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite boasts a 10.9-inch display with a peak brightness of up to 600 nits, enhanced by Vision Booster technology to maintain color vibrancy and visibility in various lighting conditions. The tablet is powered by an upgraded processor and features an 8,000 mAh battery, supporting Super-Fast Charging for extended use, making it ideal for streaming, studying, or multitasking.
Design and Availability
The device is available in three color options: Grey, Silver, and Coralred, with the latter two being exclusive to Samsung’s online store. The initial offering includes a 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, with options for 8GB RAM and 256GB storage expected to follow. All models support microSD external memory expansion up to 2TB.
Samsung’s strategic pricing and color exclusivity reflect a targeted approach to capture a diverse consumer base, offering both style and functionality. The release of the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is part of Samsung’s broader effort to democratize technology access, providing high-quality devices at competitive prices.
Productivity and Creativity Tools
Included with the tablet is the S Pen, enhancing productivity with handwriting and drawing capabilities. Samsung Notes features such as Handwriting Help and Solve Math are designed to streamline note-taking and problem-solving, allowing users to annotate PDFs and export edited documents seamlessly.
The tablet supports multitasking through Split View, enabling users to engage with multiple applications simultaneously. AI integration, including Circle to Search with Google, facilitates intuitive searches and translations directly from the screen. For enhanced productivity, the Galaxy AI Key on the Book Cover Keyboard (sold separately) provides quick access to AI-powered tools.
“The new Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is designed to bring practical, everyday functionality to more people around the world,” said Changtae Kim, EVP & Head of New Computing R&D Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.
Software and Connectivity
Running on Android 15.0, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite measures 165.8 x 254.3 x 6.6mm and weighs 524g. It features an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth v5.3, complemented by dual 1.6W speakers for audio output.
The tablet is compatible with a variety of third-party applications, catering to different workflows. Preloaded or available apps include Goodnotes, Clip Studio Paint, LumaFusion, Notion, and more. Samsung has partnered with these applications to offer promotional deals, enhancing the tablet’s value proposition.
AI and Future Prospects
Samsung’s Galaxy AI Intelligent Features are currently offered free of charge, though future collaborations with partners may alter this. Some third-party AI features might have different terms starting in 2025. The tablet’s AI capabilities, accessible via peripherals like the Book Cover Keyboard, integrate with services such as Bixby and Google Gemini, depending on compatibility and updates.
Handwriting Help and Solve Math functions operate on-device without needing an internet connection, although a Samsung Account login might be required. These features support a wide range of global languages, including English (Australia and United Kingdom).
The launch of the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite underscores Samsung’s commitment to providing accessible technology solutions, blending innovation with practicality. As the market for tablets continues to evolve, Samsung’s latest offering positions itself as a strong contender, appealing to both tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
