Samsung’s upcoming flagship tablet is beginning to take shape, and the first real-life image hints at a notable change. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra appears to be ditching the dual front-facing cameras that defined its predecessors in favor of a single sensor housed in a more compact notch.

The live photo, spotted in South Korea’s SafetyKorea certification database, shows the tablet with a subtle waterdrop-style cutout instead of the wide bar seen on the Tab S8 Ultra, Tab S9 Ultra, and Tab S10 Ultra. Those earlier models packed two 12‑megapixel shooters—one wide, one ultrawide—capable of 4K video at 30fps. This time, it looks like Samsung is scaling back. The reason may be practical: a slimmer notch for a cleaner look. Still, speculation suggests the company could offset the loss with a higher‑resolution ultrawide that supports digital cropping without a hit to quality, potentially even restoring 4K recording at 60fps, a feature missing from the last two Ultra models.

The S11 Ultra isn’t launching alone. The same certification filing also included the Galaxy Tab S11 and the more budget‑minded Tab S10 Lite, giving us an early preview of Samsung’s entire late‑2025 tablet lineup. Both the Tab S11 and the Lite version feature thicker bezels and a single front camera, with the Lite expected to ship with Samsung’s in‑house Exynos 1380 chip, 6GB of RAM, and a generous 8,000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging. Despite its modest hardware, the S Pen remains part of the package, which should appeal to students and casual users.

At the higher end, the Tab S11 and S11 Ultra are expected to run MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Both models include microSD support and sizable batteries—8,160mAh for the S11 and 11,374mAh for the Ultra—with 45W charging. Samsung will ship them with Android 16 and its latest One UI 8 software out of the box.

The shift in design, combined with the debut of a more wallet‑friendly Lite model, suggests Samsung is trying to widen its appeal. For power users, the Ultra keeps its massive 14.6‑inch AMOLED screen while refining its look. For those seeking balance, the Tab S11 provides familiar premium features in a smaller frame. And for everyday users, the Lite offers a taste of Samsung’s tablet ecosystem without breaking the bank. With a fall launch looking increasingly likely, this lineup could mark one of Samsung’s most diverse tablet releases yet.
