After much research on the Samsung website and watching marketing campaigns, I was convinced the Tab S10 FE would be great, portable, note-taking tablet, bringing in the new AI to the experience. But I am woefully dissapointed and feel scammed honestly. When I fingally got it, I found it cannot do even the most basic functions like Grammar or Spell Check. Here is the what is missing i have found so far:
In Samsung Notes, there is no "Galaxy AI" feature, aka "Note Assist", aka "three-star" button. So the following are missing:
-Autoformat
-Summarize
-Spelling and Grammar
-Translate
-Transcribe
Additionally Samsung browser also doesn't support:
-Summarize
-Translate
To add salt to the wound, Samsung markets the "Book Cover Keyboard Slim - WITH AI KEY!" I bought it believing it gave quick access to cool AI features of this tablet, but all the AI key does is map to Bixby or Gemini AI. There is no Samsung AI here. Fooled me again!
In samsung.com/us/tablets/compare/ there is no mention that FE tablet will have vastly less note taking ability than any other product (not even spell check or grammar)
In samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10000941/ is says the Tab S10 FE supports "Note Assist with Galaxy AI".
Where did I go wrong in thinking this was a good platform for student or individual note taking? Am I missing something? I worked with Samsung customer service through SMS chat and they remoted into my machine through Tutor app, but they found no explanation as to why it was missing and then asked me to post here for help. So...help? Did I just waste a ton of money?
Because of technology, I no longer have to take notes the normal way. Premium prices don't mean premium features, and I did the research, which was limited. So, I contacted Samsung to confirm this. I do spend thousands with Samsung yearly, so I feel I earned the right to ask.
I totally agree. You are gently led to believe the AI is the same on both, but the fine print is in fact not printed, is hidden. Maybe there are some workarounds, but that doesn't matter. The fact is that the tools missing makes a great difference in the productivity matter. I just spent my money on a tablet that, in a world each day more dominated by AI , will get obsolete earlier.
I have bought exactly the same Tablet 256gb with 12gb of ram. I was not happy when discovered that the AI button is missing on keyboard. I have installed Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard and there is a copilot function. Made it my default keyboard and job done 😀
I purchased an s10fe and when trying to use the function to convert audio to text in Samsung Notes, I noticed that it is not available, not even in the settings does the option to configure smart notes or the drawing assistant appear.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE does not include Galaxy AI Note Assist features, such as automatic formatting, summarization, or translation within the Samsung Notes app. While Samsung's promotional materials may be misleading, Note Assist and other core Galaxy AI functions are excluded from the Tab S10 FE model and are generally reserved for the higher-end Tab S10 series and phones.
