Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Tab S12 series, featuring the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+. The new tablets focus on a thinner design, upgraded performance, large AMOLED displays, Galaxy AI, and S Pen support.
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is the lineup's highlight, measuring just 5.1mm thick while packing a 14.6-inch display and an 11,600mAh battery. The Tab S12+ comes with a 12.6-inch display and a 10,600mAh battery. Both models run Android 17 with One UI 9, are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, and support microSD expansion up to 2TB.
Large 120Hz AMOLED Displays
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra has a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, while the Tab S12+ features a 12.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. Both displays support a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,600 nits peak brightness. Samsung has also updated Vision Booster to adjust the display based on surrounding lighting conditions. The large screens support Multi Window with up to three apps displayed at once, making the tablets more practical for multitasking.
More Performance and Battery Life
Samsung says the new 3nm processor provides up to 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance, and 17% improved GPU performance compared with the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
The tablets also feature a redesigned cooling system to help manage heat during demanding workloads. Battery life is rated at up to 23 hours on the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and 21 hours on the Tab S12+. Both support 45W charging.
Galaxy AI and S Pen
Both tablets come with an S Pen and Samsung's latest Galaxy AI features. Note Assist can summarize notes, while the large display allows users to work with Samsung Notes, videos, and other applications side by side.
Samsung is also including a six-month Google AI Pro trial, which provides access to features such as Gemini Notebook for organizing notes, files, images, and recordings.
Photoshop Comes Pre-Loaded
The Galaxy Tab S12 series comes with Adobe Photoshop pre-installed, which Samsung says is a first for an Android tablet. Photoshop supports the S Pen and includes AI features such as Generative Fill and Image to Video. Users also get four months of free access to the Photoshop mobile plan, along with offers for other applications including Goodnotes, LumaFusion, Notion, and Clip Studio Paint.
