Samsung has introduced its next generation of Galaxy Tabs, the “Samsung Galaxy S12” a 12-inch and 14-inch premium tablet with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor. It is also equipped with Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays that offer 120Hz refresh rates and has the new Android 17 with One UI 9. From the top, it looks good, but let’s get into the details. What are we going to know? Is it really good?

| Feature | Tab S12+ | Tab S12 Ultra |
|---|---|---|
| Display size | 12.6-inch | 14.6-inch |
| RAM | 12GB | 12GB / 16GB |
| Storage | 256GB / 512GB | 256GB / 512GB / 1TB |
| Rear cameras | 13MP | 13MP + 8MP ultra-wide |
| Battery | 10,600mAh | 11,600mAh |
| Water resistance | IP68 | IP68 |
Samsung Galaxy S12 comes in two models: the Plus (12.6-inch) and Ultra (14.6-inch). Both are available in Gray and Silver, and both have Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, which can go to 1,600-nit peak brightness and have reflections and Vision Booster.
At first glance, you are going to see the slim bezels. The Plus has a thickness of 5.3 mm and weighs 553g. The Ultra has a thickness of 5.1mm and weighs 692g. Both models have water and dust resistance of IP68. The Ultra and the Plus include the S Pen in the box, which has no Air Actions. You also have optional accessories, such as the Pro Keyboard.

The Samsung Galaxy S12 comes with the all-new MediaTek Dimensity 9500 on a 3nm process. If we compare it to the previous Dimensity 9400 Plus in the Tab, it is said to have 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance, and 17% improved GPU output, which would help with gaming performance, multitasking, video editing, and more.
It also has a newly designed 3D Vapor Chamber, replacing the old flat vapor chamber. This new one manages heat more efficiently when a heavy task is running for a long time.
The tablet comes with One UI 9 and Android 17. It will have seven years of OS and security updates. The tablet is filled with Galaxy AI features like Note Assist, which summarizes handwritten content. The Samsung Browser can understand webpage content, summarize information, and more. Both come with a six-month trial of Google AI Pro, which gives you access to Gemini and Gemini Notebook, which can help bring information together. Other AI tools include image editing, translation, writing assistance, and more.

Samsung is also trying its best to gather professional applications because you are also going to find Adobe Photoshop pre-installed on the Galaxy Tab S12, which comes with four months of free access to the Photoshop mobile plan. The AI feature for image-to-video is powered by Adobe Firefly.

Does the Samsung Galaxy S12 Ultra come with an S Pen?
Yes.
Can the Samsung Galaxy S12 Ultra replace a laptop?
It could be used as a laptop, but it also depends on you and your workload.
Which Galaxy S12 should you buy?
The Plus is more balanced, with normal everyday productivity and schoolwork, but the Ultra offers a more premium experience and is for professional use, like heavy multitasking, video editing, and more.

Both are good, but I still prefer Apple. I don’t know why, but I am stuck in the ecosystem, and I would rather keep it that way. But Samsung is also progressing well.
