Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra Leaks: Design Largely Unchanged
The new tablet largely retains its predecessor's design.
1Design Continuity
Leaked renders of the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra show nearly identical design to its predecessor, including the same camera notch, dual camera array, and slim build. Users expected a major redesign, but Samsung appears to have skipped significant changes this time.
2Technical Specifications
Rumors suggest the tablet may feature a 14.6-inch display, 11,600mAh battery, and up to 16GB RAM/1TB storage. Its dimensions are said to be 326.34 x 208.46 x 5.12mm. An upgraded but year-old MediaTek chip is also among the speculated features.
3User Reactions
The selfie camera notch, in particular, has drawn criticism from users. The repetition of the same design instead of a bezel-less display is disappointing. Even a simple punch-hole camera solution could have improved user satisfaction.
4Tab S12 Plus Details
Alongside the Ultra model, alleged images of the Tab S12 Plus have surfaced. This model also shows similar design elements like thick bezels and an embedded selfie camera. The images, spotted in a South Korean safety database, hint at a 2026 launch.
5Battery and Charging
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is rumored to retain the same battery capacity as its predecessor—11,600mAh with 45W fast charging support. While these specs meet basic expectations, the lack of innovative features is noticeable.
6Market Position
Samsung needs to take bolder steps in design and innovation to maintain its leadership in the tablet market. Sticking to the same concept, especially as competitors introduce fresh designs, could challenge the brand's image in the long run.
