Samsung Tablets: Plus and Ultra model prices revealed

With the next generation of Samsung tablets, customers will be faced with a few changes. In addition to a smaller selection of models and a new chip, there will also be some changes to the pricing. From the customer’s point of view, however, nothing positive. Samsung

New tablet generation from Samsung on the way

The new Galaxy Tab S10 is due to be released in several versions soon. Some information about the upcoming tablets has already come to light. The design of the new generation devices will hardly change compared to their predecessors. This can be seen in pictures that appeared as part of a leak at the end of August. What is new, however, is the inside of the tablets.

There is a crucial change here. For the very first time, Samsung is using chips from MediaTek. For years before that, the company had relied on chips from Qualcomm. Since MediaTek’s hardware is generally a bit cheaper, it could be assumed that this would be reflected in the end customer price of the tablets and that the upcoming devices would be a bit cheaper or not more expensive. However, as a new leak now suggests, this does not seem to be the case at all.

First look at possible prices

Like the technology side svztechinfo reported that the alleged prices for ten models of the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Ultra are available and a corresponding screenshot has been posted. The prices are shown in Swiss francs.

For comparison: When it was released last year, the Galaxy Tab S9+ was sold for 1029 CHF and the Tab S9 Ultra for 1129 CHF. If the new prices turn out to be accurate, customers will pay a hefty premium of around 13 percent for the successors at 1179 CHF and 1399 CHF.

Extent of price increase surprising

If costs are saved by the aforementioned switch from Qualcomm to MediaTek, this will at least not be passed on to customers. Quite the opposite. At the moment there is no obvious reason why Samsung would increase prices so much. Even possible inflation in the purchase prices for other components would not justify such a high markup.

As always with leaks and rumors, there is no guarantee that the information is reliable. It remains to be seen what Samsung itself will say about its new tablet generation. So far, however, there has been almost no information from the manufacturer.
