Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy S24 FE smartphone wasn’t the only Samsung device to be spotted on Geekbench today. The upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 Plus has also been listed on the benchmarking platform.
Listed with the model number SM-X828U, the tablet matches the entry in the IMEI database confirming it’s the Tab S10 Plus. The “U” at the end indicates it’s a US variant, while there are other variants of the tablet carrying the model number SM-X826B and SM-X826N which correspond to Global, and South Korean versions, respectively.
Interestingly, the tablet was listed with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor on Geekbench. Samsung has long-favored Qualcomm’s high-end chipsets for its Tab S series, but this time the company seems to be switching to MediaTek for the Galaxy Tab S10 series.
The Dimensity 9300+ is an octa-core chipset with a powerful configuration consisting of one Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.25GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores running at 2.85GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores with a speed of 2.0GHz. Graphics are likely handled by a Mali-G720 Immortalis MP12 GPU.
This setup earned the tablet 2,141 points in single-core tests and 6,952 points in multi-core tests. It also has 12GB of RAM and runs on Android 14 out of the box.
While the switch to MediaTek is notable, a report last month did suggest Samsung might adopt a dual-chip strategy for its tablets, similar to the Galaxy S series phones. But it was supposed to be Qualcomm and Exynos and not MediaTek.
Since the tablet has now appeared with Dimensity 9300+ it could mean that either the previous report was incorrect or MediaTek might be replacing one of the other chip brands.
There’s not much we know about the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus at the moment, except that it will be joined by the Tab S10 Ultra and likely a standard Galaxy Tab S10.
