European users of Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ will not like their price
The Galaxy Tab S9 series debuted at the Unpacked event, which was held in July, and now it is gearing up for fan edition variants for tablets. However, tablets are not something that is affordable to every sort of customer, but the firm promised a budget-friendly FE variant of the Tab S9 just like it did for the Galaxy Tab S7 FE.
According to the source, it has become possible to look at the European costs, which confirm the pattern, after the Indian prices for the new FE tablets first surfaced in mid-July. But this time things aren’t the same, as the reports reveal a significant price rise over the Galaxy Tab S7 FE. The leaked image shows the price of the Tab S9 FE according to the size option.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ will be available in these colors & storage
The price of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE on the European continent The Galaxy Tab S9 FE with an 11-inch display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal memory costs 549.99 euros, while the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ with a 12.4-inch display, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of internal memory will cost 749.99 euros. Compared to the previous time, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE with the same 12.4-inch screen and 6–12 GB of memory storage is priced at 699 euros.
However, the prices may vary for the other continents; the price range is said to be even higher in the regions of Italy. It is somehow disappointing that just the difference in 2GB of RAM results in a tremendously high cost. Even the chipset, the Exynos 1380, which offers performance similar to the Snapdragon 778G of the Tab S7 FE, is something to be noticed.
The gadget is rumored to bear an LCD screen, and a 5G connectivity version is also on the cards with different hues such as grey, light green, pink, and silver. As of now, we need to wait for an official announcement from Samsung’s side. Some rumors have popped up that the Galaxy Tab S9 FE will be launched alongside other devices like the SmartTag 2, Galaxy S23 FE, and Galaxy Buds FE in an event.
After introducing the One UI 6.1 update to flagship tablets, including the Galaxy Tab S9 series and Galaxy Tab S8 series, the fan edition tablets have also started getting the new update. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ are starting to get the UI 6.1 update.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ were spotted getting new updates in Europe and South Korea. More specifically, in South Korea, the update is spotted for the Wi-Fi variant, which is coming with the firmware version numbers X510XXU3BXE1 and X610XXU3BXE1, respectively.
Meanwhile, in Europe, the 5G variant of these devices is getting a new update with the firmware version number X*16BXXU3BXDG, respectively. For the Wi-Fi variant, the update is coming with the firmware version number X*10XXU3BXE1.
The One UI 6.1 update for Galaxy Tab S9 FE devices doesn’t bring any AI features, but even after that, the update provides some significant changes for the tablets. With the latest update, there are several new features, like copy and paste from one image to another, more accurate image clipping, and multiple customization features related to lock screen, alarm, calendar, and many more.
If you want to take advantage of new features, then you can now update your Galaxy Tab S9 FE series device to the latest version by following some simple steps: go to the system settings, then tap on the software update menu. If the update is available, tap on the download button, but some time it takes time to reach every unit, so you have to wait for some time.

Galaxy Tab S10 Series may be delayed, but rumored to be released alongside the Galaxy S25 phones
Samsung doesn’t follow a specific timeframe for introducing its flagship lineup of devices; for instance, the Galaxy Tab S8 series was launched in March 2022, while the Galaxy Tab S9 was launched in August 2023. There is almost a five-month gap in between, so the next Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra could be available with the Galaxy S25 series.
For the performance enhancement, Samsung is confused as to when it will provide which process for the Galaxy Tab S10 series. As Qualcomm officially takes the wraps off its Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus, it may face another issue as Qualcomm could unveil its Gen 4 processor in October. Along with this, it is unclear if the less expensive Galaxy Tab S10 and Galaxy Tab S10 Plus will launch next to the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.
According to some reports, the Korean giant is planning to introduce the dual chipset strategy with the Galax S25 series devices. It is expected that some models will feature the Exynos variant while the Snapdragon processor will power others. Some rumors also claim that the Exynos 2500 could be rolled out in two versions: one equipped with an Octa-core CPU cluster and the other equipped with a 10-core cluster.
The 10-core cluster equipped with Exynos 2500 could be specially tailor-made for the tablets, maybe for the Galaxy Tab S10 series. If that turns out to be true, then it will be more cost-effective, and the user may get the next flagship table at a low price.
However, if Samsung uses its in-house processor, the Exynos 2500, then it may not provide certain weight to the competition in Apple’s upcoming m3 chipset-powered iPad Pro lineup. Due to all these factors, the company may take time to release its next premium flagship tablet.
