Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is built around an unusually large canvas for a tablet: a 14.6-inch AMOLED display paired with a bundled S Pen and an optional keyboard designed to make the device more credible as a laptop alternative. The Ultra also stands apart from the smaller Tab S12+ with a visible notch for its selfie-camera system.
A big-screen tablet that remains portable
Despite its screen size, the Tab S12 Ultra measures 5.1 mm thick and weighs 692 grams. Its Armor Aluminum construction and IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating should make it a more practical option for carrying between classes, meetings, and shoots than a conventional notebook, though its footprint will still demand a substantial bag or desk space.
Samsung’s new Pro Keyboard is a central part of that productivity pitch. The metal accessory has a strong magnetic connection, a folding design, short key travel, and a dedicated AI key. It can be used with Samsung’s Galaxy AI tools as well as services including Gemini and Perplexity. The tablet itself also supports Bixby.
The AMOLED panel includes Samsung’s Vision Booster feature, which is intended to improve outdoor visibility while supporting more comfortable viewing. An 11,600 mAh battery is rated for up to 23 hours of video playback. Samsung has also updated the included S Pen, which is said to be more responsive than the previous generation.
Software bundles add value for creative work
Samsung is packaging the Tab S12 Ultra with a wide set of software and subscription offers, reinforcing its focus on note-taking, illustration, photo editing, and video production. The stated offers include the following:
- Google AI Pro: six months free, including 5TB of storage.
- Adobe Photoshop: preloaded through Galaxy Picks with a four-month free subscription, valued at $31.96.
- Notability: benefits valued at $47.94.
- Clip Studio Paint: additional Samsung-provided benefits are available.
- Goodnotes: additional Samsung-provided benefits are available.
- LumaFusion: additional Samsung-provided benefits are available.
- Notion: additional Samsung-provided benefits are available.
- Noteshelf 3: additional Samsung-provided benefits are available.
- ArcSite: additional Samsung-provided benefits are available.
A modest hardware step from the previous Ultra
For owners of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, the reported hardware upgrade is primarily the processor: the Dimensity 9500 replaces the Dimensity 9400+. Samsung is also promising seven years of updates, while features such as Galaxy AI, Gemini, Perplexity, and the keyboard’s AI shortcut broaden the tablet’s software-focused appeal.
| Configuration | Connectivity | RAM | Storage | Listed price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra | Wi-Fi | 12GB | 256GB | €1,539 |
| Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra | 5G | Not stated | 1TB | €2,289 |
Those listed prices are in euros; Samsung has not confirmed U.S. pricing or availability in the supplied information. The Tab S12 Ultra appears best suited to students, creators, media professionals, and other users who can take advantage of its large screen, pen input, keyboard ecosystem, and bundled creative services. Existing Tab S11 Ultra owners may find the value proposition less clear if raw hardware performance is their main reason to upgrade.
