Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 10 FE 5G SM-X528U Tablet 10.9" Gray 2025

20 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews

The single verified review is extremely negative, describing the tablet as a "brick without wifi" because it is locked to AT&T and the user cannot get it unlocked. The reviewer lost money after the return window closed, despite receiving a $30 apology credit. Q&A answers provide technical specs but do not address the carrier lock issue.

Pros
  • S Pen with Math Solver and Handwriting Assist
  • High resolution 2304x1440 display
  • 10.9 inch screen size
  • 128 GB storage capacity
  • Exynos 1580 processor
Cons
  • Locked to AT&T network
  • Cannot be unlocked by user
  • No WiFi functionality without carrier
  • Return window expired before issue resolved
  • Poor customer support from multiple parties
