Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Rumored to Feature Dedicated AI Key

Even the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 can't escape having an AI key, claims leaker

Someone discovered a devastating Arc Browser security flaw that allows remote code execution Key Takeaways AI keys are becoming more popular in tech products, with leaks revealing Samsung is incorporating them into the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10. The AI key on the Galaxy Tab S10 will likely invoke Samsung's AI assistant, similar to other devices with designated AI keys. While the AI key may be customizable in the future, the prevalence of AI assistants in devices ensures that AI keys are here to stay. Are you getting tired of AI keys yet? We've been seeing them everywhere, from replacing keys on keyboards to mini PCs. Now, it seems that recent leaks from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 have shown that even the Korean tech giant's products aren't spared from the wave of AI buttons, and this one isn't even a Copilot key.

These leaks reveal what the devices will look like, including the keyboard covers that each product will use. Things look pretty standard until you see the key that looks like a sparkle to the right of the Space Bar. This sparkle is the official logo for Samsung's AI, which implies that pressing the key will invoke the company's AI assistant, much like how Copilot+ PCs have the Copilot key. These AI keys very often replace a key that sees very little use, so even if you don't intend to use Samsung AI, you should be able to ignore it just the same. However, it would be nice if Samsung gave its users the option to change what the AI key does. Microsoft has finally allowed people to change what the Copilot key does, albeit with some limitations on what you can make it do. Regardless of what Samsung decides to do with its AI key, one thing's for sure; as long as a device manufacturer has an artificial intelligence assistant bundled in with it, the AI key is here to stay.

Like it or not, the Galaxy Tab S10 covers are getting an AI key

It will be placed near the bottom right of the keyboard layout, replacing the Lang key. As the anticipated launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 series draws closer, we're getting more clarity on what new features we can expect from these Android tablets. One recent rumor that appeared credible suggested that the keyboard covers of some Galaxy S10 models would be getting a new key, one that's specifically dedicated to AI. And right now, this is looking increasingly confirmed. Tech publication YTECHB has apparently gotten ahold of some of the first official images of the tablets, with the renders confirming the layout change. The new AI key is included on the keyboard covers of the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and S10 Ultra models, both on the standard and slim versions. The key will sit to the right of the Alt Gr key in the lower-right part of the keyboard, taking the place of the Lang key. As expected, it will be represented by the Galaxy AI symbol. While YTECHB has uncovered a whole host of imagery showing off these accessories, the AI key appears to be the only big new talking point. As with previous Galaxy Tab models, there will be two versions of the keyboard cover: The standard cover is detachable and features a trackpad, while the space-saving slim cover eschews the trackpad and can't be detached. Both versions will come in white and black colorways. We still don't have any great insight about exactly what pressing the Galaxy AI key will do. It's going to sit in the same part of the keyboard as the Windows Copilot key does and could just be a shortcut to various Galaxy AI features. It's possible that Samsung hasn't even finalized every aspect of the key's functionality, but we hope to learn more soon.

Here's your first look at the dedicated AI button on Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10

Samsung's Tab S10 launch is imminent as pre-reservations go live in India Key Takeaways New Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 tablets with a dedicated AI button on the keyboard may launch soon. The new tablets will feature a dedicated AI button on their keyboard covers for quick access to AI features. The tablet's keyboard covers will also be compatible with the current Galaxy Tab S9 series. Samsung Galaxy tablets are among the best Android tablets on the market. With nearly a year since the Galaxy Tab S9's release, new flagship Samsung tablets are reportedly arriving soon -- possibly as early as next week on September 26, 2024. While much about the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 series has already been leaked, a recent report claimed the tablet's keyboard cover will include a dedicated AI button. Now, we have our first real-life glimpse of what this button might look like.

As expected, there will be two versions of the keyboards: one with a trackpad and one without, available in both black and white. The key difference this time is the addition of a dedicated AI button on the keyboard. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 keyboard cover could come with a dedicated AI Key Close According to the report, the Galaxy AI key will replace the Lang key on the right side of the keyboard. The Alt button will now sit directly next to the Space Bar, with the new AI button positioned between the Alt key and the Arrow keys. This button will reportedly allow users to quickly access AI options or an "AI Window" with a single press. Interestingly, the report also mentions that the new keyboard covers will be compatible with the current Galaxy Tab S9 series. While the addition of a dedicated AI button seems like an interesting choice, it's not the first time a brand has incorporated such a feature. Microsoft CoPilot+ certified laptops already include a dedicated CoPilot button for one-tap access to their AI assistant. However, the exact functionality of Samsung's Galaxy AI button and how it will behave in specific apps or scenarios remains to be seen. It's no surprise that so many details about the Galaxy Tab S10 are leaking just before launch. The series is already available for pre-reservations in India (though the company hasn't officially named it the Galaxy Tab S10), and the reported pricing has also surfaced. While there's no information yet on the price of the keyboard covers, we expect it to be similar to those of the previous generation.
