Samsung Doesn’t Care About Profit, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite Crashes to $249
Black Friday is making Samsung’s newest mid‑range tablet more tempting than ever. The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, complete with S Pen support, has dropped to its lowest price yet, offering students and creatives a budget‑friendly option
If you’re looking to gift a student or someone who loves drawing and note‑taking, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S line offers reliable tablets. Even better, some of our favorite models are on sale this Black Friday. This includes the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite with S Pen, now $100 (29%) off, dropping to its lowest price of $249 from $349.
That’s a considerable saving, especially since the Android tablet was just launched in September. The deal applies to the 128 GB variant in Gray. Alternatively, the 256 GB model is discounted to $319 from $419, available in Coral Red or Silver.
Why Choose the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is Samsung’s new mid‑range Android tablet. It sits below the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S10 FE we reviewed, but shares some of their strengths, including full S Pen functionality. The stylus is included in the box, saving you the extra cost of buying it separately.
While it’s a scaled‑down version of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, it remains a capable device not just for sketching or note‑taking but also for multitasking and handling moderate workloads. It runs on the Exynos 1380 processor, delivering stable performance, paired with 6 GB of RAM. With a keyboard accessory, it can even serve as a handy laptop alternative on the go.
The 10.9‑inch display uses a TFT panel instead of IPS, but most users won’t notice the difference. It still feels smooth thanks to the 90 Hz refresh rate.
With an 8,000 mAh battery, the tablet can last a couple of days or more between charges under light to moderate use. Charging speed is capped at 25 watts, which isn’t the fastest but remains practical.
It ships with One UI 7 based on Android 15 and is already upgradeable to One UI 8. Samsung promises seven years of software support, keeping it future‑proof for the long haul.
