The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite measures 165.8 x 254.3 mm with a slim 6.6mm profile and weighs 524g, giving it a relatively compact physical footprint for a tablet of its size. A stylus is included in the box, adding handwriting and drawing capability out of the gate. The device does not come with a detachable or backlit keyboard, and there is no water resistance rating. The pen also lacks tilt sensitivity.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite features a 10.9-inch IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 2112 x 1320 pixels and a pixel density of 228 ppi, producing a reasonably sharp image across its panel. The display runs at a 90Hz refresh rate, and is protected by branded damage-resistant glass while also featuring an anti-reflection coating to help manage glare. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision are not supported, and the screen is not an e-paper type.
The tablet is powered by an octa-core processor built on a 5nm semiconductor, configured as four cores at 2.4 GHz and four at 2.0 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP technology, with a TDP of 5W and 8 threads in total. It is paired with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz across four memory channels, offering a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while 256GB of internal storage handles local data — there is no external memory slot. Graphics are handled by an integrated Mali G68 MP5 GPU clocked at 950 MHz, supporting DirectX 12 and OpenCL 2, with a 4MB L3 cache shared at 4MB per core. The chip also integrates LTE, supports 64-bit processing, NX bit, and ARM TrustZone security. Geekbench 6 scores come in at 1007 for single-core and 2758 for multi-core, and the device ships running Android 15.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite has an 8MP rear camera using a CMOS sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p and 30fps, with touch autofocus and continuous autofocus during video recording. Manual controls include ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance, giving users some flexibility over their shots, though manual shutter speed is not available. There is no flash of any kind on either the rear or front camera, no optical zoom, and no optical image stabilization. The front-facing camera resolves at 5MP and supports HDR mode, but lacks a flash. Features such as slow-motion video, timelapse, panorama, burst mode, 360-degree panorama, HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, and 3D capture are not supported, and the sensor is not a back-illuminated type.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite includes stereo speakers for built-in audio output, but omits a 3.5mm headphone jack, so wired headphones would require an adapter. There is no radio tuner on board. On the wireless audio side, none of the Qualcomm aptX variants — including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless — are supported, and LDAC is also absent, limiting higher-quality Bluetooth audio codec options.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is equipped with an 8000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging, and a battery level indicator is present to keep users informed of remaining charge. Wireless charging is not available, and the battery is non-removable.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite supports Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and includes a cellular module with 5G support, accommodating one physical SIM alongside one eSIM, with download and upload speeds reaching 3790 Mbits/s and 1280 Mbits/s respectively. Navigation is covered by GPS and Galileo, and onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, though a barometer is absent. Connectivity via USB Type-C is present at USB 2.0 speed, while HDMI output, NFC, Ethernet, and an infrared sensor are not included. On the software and privacy side, the tablet offers location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. It supports split screen, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, media picker, widgets, dark mode, dynamic and manual theme customization, extra dim mode, app offloading, customizable notifications, voice commands with offline recognition, child lock, battery health check, on-device machine learning, sharing intents, and multi-user operation. Fingerprint scanning, iris scanning, and 3D facial recognition are all absent, and the device does not receive direct OS vendor updates, nor does it support Quick Start, focus modes, or Wi-Fi password sharing.
Under Geekbench 5, the tablet scores 780 in the single-core test and 2634 in the multi-core test, the latter benefiting from multithreading support, which is active on this device. Memory runs on DDR5, reflecting a relatively current memory standard for its class.
