Samsung has not yet confirmed the release date for its Galaxy Tab S10 series, but recent reports suggest that the tablets will be powered exclusively by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ SoC. Traditionally, Samsung has relied on Qualcomm's flagship processors for its devices, but it appears the company might be shifting its strategy by incorporating MediaTek's latest technology.
