Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra

There is a bizarre scenario in Samsung’s collective imagination that involves its gigantic new IP68-rated Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and S Pen stylus being used to take notes underwater. Whether that’s a key selling point probably depends on whether you’re amphibious or just have a tendency to leave taps running, but it’s also a good example of how brilliantly over the top this Android slate is.

For starters there’s that 14.6in AMOLED screen, which gives you space to run up to three apps side by side, plus the Dimensity 9300+ processor that should allow you to do so without it getting its chug on. Such a pixel-packed display demands a substantial power pack, so there’s an 11,200mAh battery inside the 5.4mm chassis, and if you really want to show your credit card who’s boss it’s possible to max out the memory at 16GB and the built-in storage at 1TB.
