Source: Samsung. The new Galaxy Tab S10 FE series.

The all-new Galaxy Tab S10 FE Series is now available in Singapore. Announced in April, the tablets offer new entry points to the Galaxy ecosystem on a premium tablet design. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ boast 10.9" and 13.1" screens respectively. Both have a 90 Hz refresh rate and 800 nits high brightness mode (HBM), framed in slimmer bezels.

Boosted by Awesome Intelligence, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE Series is also thinner and lighter. Samsung’s Intelligent Features empower users to get more done with ease, while a slimmer design helps users to achieve their creativity and productivity on-the-go.

“The new Galaxy Tab S10 FE series brings advanced mobile AI experience and Samsung’s connected ecosystem to even more tablet users, while still offering leading performance and design,” said Changtae Kim, EVP & Head of New Computing R&D Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics at the time of the announcement. 

“We’re confident that the slim bezels and expansive displays, in addition to a whole host of functional improvements, will inspire people to do more, create more, and discover more.”

AI capabilities right out of the box include: 

Circle to Search1 with Google allows users to search what is seen on the tablet without switching apps. It could be a translation or step-by-step explanations.

Samsung Notes features like Solve Math2 for quick calculations of handwriting and text, and Handwriting Help3 to tidy up notes easily.

• Customisable AI assistants are instantly launched with a single tap of the Galaxy AI key4 on the book cover keyboard.

• An upgraded Object Eraser5 lets users effortlessly remove unwanted objects from photos, with automatic suggestions for quick and easy edits.

• The new Best Face6 feature ensures perfect group photos by selecting and combining the best expressions and features.

Auto Trim7 sifts through multiple videos to seamlessly compile highlight reels.

• The Galaxy Tab S10 FE series also comes with preloaded apps and tools8 including LumaFusion9, Goodnotes10, Clip Studio Paint11 and more, alongside spotlight apps like Noteshelf 312, Sketchbook and Picsart13.

For an even more intuitive AI experience, the FE series seamlessly integrates with other Samsung Galaxy devices. Similar to the Galaxy Tab S10 series, users can access their home status with the Home Insight widget dashboard and 3D Map View feature. Summarised status updates of SmartThings-enabled devices can also be accessed.

As with any Galaxy device, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series is fortified by Samsung Knox, Samsung Galaxy’s defense-grade, multi-layer security platform built to safeguard critical information and protect against vulnerabilities with end-to-end hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection.

Engineered for resilience and durability to withstand the elements, the FE series also comes with the same IP68 rating as the newest Galaxy Tab S10 series.

Source: Xiaomi. The Xiaomi Pad 6 is build for work productivity.

Xiaomi has released the Xiaomi Pad 6 in Singapore. Packed with practical features, this high-performing tablet is built for busy professionals.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 opts for the iconic design aesthetic of the flagship Xiaomi 13 Series. Slim, light and resilient, Xiaomi Pad 6 features an aluminum-alloy unibody design with a 6.51 mm bezel and weighs 490 g.6

MIUI for Pad software – an exclusive mobile user interface, an upgraded Xiaomi Smart Pen (2nd generation) and Xiaomi Pad 6 Keyboard,2 work together to improve overall productivity. The buttons on the Xiaomi Smart Pen (2nd generation)2 enable users to take a quick screenshot, or quickly switch between writing, painting and colour functions whenever needed in the Notes application.

Meanwhile, its Snapdragon 870 Mobile Platform ensures powerful performance throughout the working day. A 8,840 mAh (typ) battery offers excellent energy efficiency.

Xiaomi Pad 6 features an 11" WQHD+ (2,880 x 1,800) display1 at 309 ppi that delivers sharp, clear images. The display’s higher pixel density ensures small font sizes are easier to read so even more content can be viewed on the display to ensure less scrolling. For video calls, Xiaomi Pad 6 has a centred ultra-wide front camera with a FocusFrame function that automatically adjusts the camera to keep the user clearly in the middle of the shot.3 The tablet’s four microphones pick up the user’s voice accurately and significantly reduce background noise, even in busy locations.

It offers 99% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut for 1.07 billion colours (following the CIE 2015 standard). The display’s refresh rate is up to 144 Hz5, offering a fluid gaming experience. Meanwhile, TÜV Rheinland-certified Low Blue Light ensures hours of viewing with reduced eye fatigue.

Supporting Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, Xiaomi Pad 6 features a quad-speaker setup covering a wide range of sound.

As part of the launch promotions, the 8 GB + 128 GB storage option will be available at an early bird online price of S$449 from 22 - 29 July online. Customers who buy the 8 GB + 256 GB variant can get a free Xiaomi Pad 6 Cover (recommended retail price [RRP] S$49) and enjoy S$30 off the Xiaomi Pad 6 Keyboard at S$99 (RRP S$129) for each purchase at Authorized Xiaomi Stores nationwide.
