Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra may disappoint with identical battery capacity to its predecessor. Rumors suggest the tablet will feature the same 11,600mAh battery and 45W charging support as the Tab S11 Ultra, raising questions about meaningful upgrades in the next flagship tablet.

Additional leaks indicate the S12 Ultra will maintain a 14.6-inch display while launching with One UI 9 and Android 17 in late August/September 2026. The previous model faced criticism for RAM allocation and keyboard quality, leaving room for improvement in these areas.

Price concerns loom large after Samsung's recent $280 increase for the 1TB Tab S11 Ultra. This price jump sets a concerning precedent for the upcoming model, potentially establishing a new premium baseline that may deter cost-conscious consumers in an already competitive tablet market.
