The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus stands out as a large 12.4 inch Android tablet for note taking, multitasking, and Samsung ecosystem integration. The included S Pen and DeX make window management and file handling feel easier than on an iPad, and the expandable storage and sideloading add flexibility. The 512GB version is also seen as a strong value at this price, especially outside Black Friday. The main tradeoffs are that it is a generation old, the newer S11 line is faster and brighter, and the coupon has been inconsistent at checkout. A solid fit if you want this screen size and Samsung features.
people who want a 12.4-inch Samsung tablet for note-taking and multitasking because this size is specifically called out as not offered on the newer S11 series, and the included S Pen plus DeX makes window/file management easier than iPad for at least one user.
people doing work that benefits from a stylus and desktop-like multitasking (like editing images or managing lots of files) because one commenter replaced an iPad Pro with the S10+ and said the stylus is useful for editing images and that DeX/file handling was a breeze for tasks like finding downloaded W2s.
Samsung ecosystem users who already have a phone/laptop/smart TV because commenters say the integration with other Samsung devices is "very well done," making the tablet feel more seamless in daily use.
buyers who specifically want the newest Galaxy Tab features because multiple commenters point out tradeoffs on newer models (like loss of active stylus functionality and haptic feedback sensor changes), meaning you may be buying into older-generation compromises.
people who rely on coupons/stacking discounts at checkout because commenters report the coupon either doesn't show up for them or disappears after adding a keyboard case and screen protector, so the advertised price may not hold.
buyers who are sensitive to hardware changes across generations because at least one commenter is concerned about Samsung using a Mediatek chipset, calling it a negative for the value.
The listing is flagged as frequently returned, but the comments do not identify a specific defect. The main practical concern raised is that the coupon is inconsistent and may disappear or not show for some shoppers.
The S10+ keeps active stylus functionality and the 12.4-inch size, while the S11 series reportedly drops active stylus features and does not come in 12.4 inches. It is a strong pick if you want Samsung pen input in this exact size class.
Yes. DeX plus the included S Pen makes window management and file handling much easier, especially for people who want true multitasking or need to track downloaded files and documents.
It integrates very well with other Samsung devices such as phones, laptops, and smart TVs. That makes it especially useful if you already use Samsung hardware across your setup.
Im using the s10+ 256. Replaced my ipad pro 12.9 m2 256. Stylus is cool, used it today to edit images. expandable storage. Sideloading... no ads, pirate streams. $500 during an Amazon warehouse event

This is a good deal and in a way this is better than the newest generation.
The S11 series did away with the active stylus functionality so the stylus on the S11 series has less functionality.
Also, the S11 series does not offer the 12.4 inch size this time. If this is the size tablet you are looking for then this is the best choice in this size range.
Finally, if you have other Samsung computing devices...phone, laptop, smart TV... the level of integration is very well done.
I understand that your choices are S10+ and S10 ultra and S11 and S11 ultra. Just don't say that the newest generation is not as good as the old generation.
It is better in almost every way except you no longer have the active stylus functionality which almost no one uses, vibrations are gone and the ultra losses the front facing ultra wide camera.
The S11 series is faster, more energy friendly, MUCH better OLED screen, larger battery, thinner tablet, etc...
