Samsung appears to be expanding its tablet lineup with a new affordable option: the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. Fresh leaks, including a recent FCC certification, hint that the device is almost ready to hit the shelves-and it’s shaping up to be a solid choice for budget-conscious users who still want features like S Pen support.
The FCC documents suggest that the Tab S10 Lite will pack an 8,000mAh battery, the same one found in the Galaxy Tab S10 FE.
While not groundbreaking, it’s a respectable size for a mid-range tablet and should deliver around 7 hours of screen time, based on previous performance tests.
Even better, the tablet will support 45W fast charging, ensuring that users won’t be stuck waiting hours for a full top-up.
One of the most exciting aspects? The return of the S Pen. The listing confirms stylus support, which is a huge win for students, artists, and note-takers-especially if Samsung includes the stylus in the box like it did with past models.
Under the hood, leaks suggest the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will run on the Exynos 1380 chipset and come with 6GB of RAM. While not a powerhouse, this setup should be more than capable for casual gaming, media streaming, and multitasking.
There’s no official release date yet, but the FCC appearance usually signals that launch is imminent. Price-wise, it’s expected to come in under the $500 mark set by the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, putting it firmly in the budget tablet segment.
Still, Samsung won’t be alone. OnePlus is reportedly working on its own budget device-the OnePlus Pad Lite-which could rival the Tab S10 Lite with a rumored 9,340mAh battery. It’s an exciting time for Android tablet fans looking for affordable alternatives without giving up too much in terms of performance and features.
If you’re not in a rush, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite might just be worth the wait-especially if the S Pen is included at no extra cost.
