Galaxy Tab S10 Lite: The “play it safe” tablet with 7 years of updates at an affordable price – NotebookCheck.net News
Extra-long updates, an extended warranty, and protection from the Samsung Knox security platform: the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is a solid mid-range choice for anyone who values security and doesn’t want to splash out a lot of money on a tablet.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is neither the fastest nor the most durable tablet in the mid-range. Rather, Samsung focuses on data protection and security here.
Here are three aspects where the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite excels in terms of security. Our detailed review can be found here.
A major advantage of the affordable Samsung tablet is the long update period and the seven major Android version upgrades. Regular security patches close known security vulnerabilities that could otherwise be exploited by potential attackers. Without updates, the risk of a device becoming vulnerable to malware or hacker attacks increases.
A tablet that receives long-term Android version upgrades also benefits from new features and improvements that enhance the user experience in the long run. It also ensures that the Android operating system remains compatible with the latest apps and services.
Samsung offers Care+ for the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. This allows users to be covered for damage caused by accidents, drops or water damage. Unlike a traditional warranty, which varies from country to country (1 year in the USA, 3 years in Germany, for example) users don’t have to worry about expensive repairs, which also minimizes financial risks.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite utilizes Samsung Knox, a proprietary security platform specifically designed for mobile devices. According to Samsung, this offers comprehensive hardware and software protection to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access, malware and other threats. Knox includes features such as secure boot processes, encryption and data compartmentalization (e.g., separation of personal and business data).
I have always been very passionately interested in mobile technologies, especially smartphones. Being a tech enthusiast means the half-life of my devices isn’t exactly long, and being the latest hardware is not enough to suffice as the manufacturer and operating system play a minor role – the most important aspect for me is that the device is state-of-the-art. After posting for Mobi Test I joined Notebookcheck in 2016, where I have been pursuing my enthusiasm for technology by reviewing the latest smartphone, tablet, and accessory trends.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
