EE slashes £150 off the price of the latest Samsung tablet, but you’ll have to move fast

The May EE Tech Drop sees a £150 discount on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE

Over the past couple of years, EE has been repositioning itself as a one-stop shop for all your tech. Best known for its mobile phone network, the company offers broadband and TV, as well as selling all the latest tech through its stores, both online and off, as well as through its app.

The EE Tech Drop. This event sees heavy discounts on a particular item for a limited time as a first-come-first-serve offering. Think of it like a lightning deal, once a month from EE. The next Tech Drop is going to slash £150 off the price of the latest Samsung tablet, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. That will see the £499 available for £349, which is a huge discount for such a new tablet.

EE says that the deal will only be available through the EE App, both for EE customers and those who aren’t customers. It will take place on 20 May 2025. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE is also available from Samsung for £499 and Amazon at £499.

This is still a premium tablet, however, and is your budget won’t stretch to the discounted Tab S10 FE, then take a look at the Galaxy Tab A9, which is half price on Amazon, it’s £81.71, which is the cheapest it has ever been.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is the “fan edition” of the Tab S10, so it made a couple of sacrifices on the spec sheet to bring the price down. Importantly, however, the S10 FE is a 10.9-inch tablet, so it’s the most compact of the family, making it more affordable and ideal for travel, as you can easily slip it into your bag.

It keeps the premium aluminium build and is only 6mm thick. I’ve been testing the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and I’ve found it to be a really premium experience, great for watching movies, but the LCD display isn’t as good as the OLED display you get on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.

There’s a single camera on the back instead of the dual camera that Samsung’s top tablets get, but that doesn’t bother me, because I use my phone for photos rather than the tablet. There’s a front-facing camera which is important for making video calls.

Although it does have slightly lower power, using the Exynos 1580 processor, rather than the flagship-grade processor in the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. It has an IP68 rating, so if you knock over your drink and flood your tablet then it will be just fine, while the battery will last for 20 hours – enough to keep you in movies when frying from the UK to Australia.

The EE Tech Drops only last for 24 hours or until stock runs out, so you’ll have to move fast.
