The largest tablet on the market has received its annual update, and the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra looks impressive. It features an updated chipset with enhanced cooling, an upgraded connectivity suite, and the latest Android OS packed with AI features.
The tablet is an ultra-slim metal design with a massive 14.6-inch AMOLED display offering 1848 x 2960 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. An S Pen stylus is bundled in the box. It also remains one of the few tablets with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
At the heart of the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, which outperforms the previous Dimensity 9400+ with a 19% faster CPU, a 17% faster GPU, and a 61% boost in NPU performance. The rear features a 13MP wide and an 8MP ultrawide camera, with a 12MP ultrawide front camera for video calls and selfies. Power comes from an 11,600mAh battery supporting 45W wired charging.
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is pitched as a versatile productivity powerhouse, thanks to Samsung DeX, the optional Pro Keyboard, and One UI 9 built on Android 17. The design is excellent, but Samsung has once again kept the display notch for the front camera. While relatively small, it remains an unfortunate eyesore on an otherwise sleek screen. The box includes the tablet, a 3A USB-C cable, and the hexagonal S Pen, but no power adapter, despite support for 45W charging.
