Galaxy Tab S10 leaks started well before the lineup went official, and a common thread among all the leaks was that Samsung will only be selling two models, the Galaxy Tab S10+ (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s10-plus/) and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s10-ultra/).
The company was said to be skipping the base model for reasons unknown, and now, that has been confirmed. The Galaxy Tab S10 lineup really does consist of only a Plus and Ultra model. There is no regular Galaxy Tab S10.
It's unclear why Samsung made this decision. One Samsung representative suggested that the demand for premium tablets with a strong AI experience was the reason, though it doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Without a base model, Samsung's latest flagship tablets will be out of reach for many, as the starting price is now $999. We would assume Samsung would want to bring the Galaxy AI experience to as many users as possible, but that's not the case here. Perhaps a base model will launch later on, but that's just speculation.
Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra specs and features
The Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra offer the same display sizes and battery capacities as their predecessors. The Tab S10+ features a 12.4-inch AMOLED display and the Ultra model features a 14.6-inch AMOLED display. Both tablets have a wonderful anti-reflection coating for reduced reflections and glare (https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-tab-s10-plus-ultra-wonderful-anti-reflection-displays/).

The tablets are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset in all markets and come with 12GB RAM as standard with 256GB and 512GB storage options.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra also has a variant with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Both models support microSD expansion up to 1.5TB. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra also has support for Wi-Fi 7. Despite using the same chip, the Tab S10+ tops out at Wi-Fi 6E.
Other specs of the tablets include 13MP+8MP dual rear cameras, 12MP wide+12MP ultrawide dual front cameras on the Ultra and a single 12MP ultrawide front camera on the Plus model, an under-display fingerprint sensor, S Pen support ( stylus included in box), IP68 water and dust resistance, and quad speakers.
The Galaxy Tab S10+ and Ultra run Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1 (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/one-ui-6-1-1/) out of the box and are eligible for seven years of software updates (https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-tab-s10-plus-ultra-seven-years-updates/).
