Anonymous
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and S12+, with sales set to begin Oct. 7. Both tablets use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500, feature 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays, include an S Pen and support microSD expansion. The 14.6-inch Ultra starts at $1,400, while the 12.6-inch Plus starts at $1,200. Early impressions describe the Ultra as a strong large-screen Android tablet but a modest upgrade over its predecessor, with a $200 price increase and limitations as a laptop replacement; the Plus restores a midsized option after Samsung offered an 11-inch model last year.
Key Points
1
Both tablets are IP68-rated for water and dust resistance. The Ultra weighs 692 grams and the Plus 553 grams.
2
Samsung says the Ultra can last up to 23 hours on a charge and the Plus up to 21 hours; both support 45-watt charging, reaching a full charge in about 95 minutes. Neither tablet includes a charger.
3
The tablets are unusually thin: the Ultra measures 5.1mm and the Plus 5.3mm. Samsung also sells keyboard accessories separately, including a Pro Keyboard; a reviewer said the $399 keyboard adds to the cost of using the Ultra for work.
