Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12+ moves the company’s large-screen Android tablet line forward with MediaTek’s 3nm Dimensity 9500 processor, IP68 dust and water resistance, and a 553g chassis measuring 5.3mm thick. Samsung positions it as the successor to the Galaxy Tab S10+ rather than the smaller Tab S11, while offering a more compact alternative to the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra.
The tablet uses an Armor Aluminum body and is offered in black and white. Its AMOLED display is described as bright, although hands-on use noted some reflectivity indoors. Unlike the Ultra model, the Tab S12+ does not have a display notch for the front camera.
- The 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9500 replaces the 4nm Dimensity 9300+ used in the Galaxy Tab S10+.
- The new vapor chamber is claimed to be 6% more efficient than the cooling system in the Tab S11 series.
- The battery capacity has increased by more than 500mAh compared with the Galaxy Tab S10+.
- Quad speakers are included, alongside an S Pen that ships with the tablet.
Samsung is also introducing an aluminum Galaxy Tab S12+ Pro keyboard with a dedicated Galaxy AI key and a stronger magnetic attachment system. Other accessories mentioned for the tablet include the Smart Book Cover, Frame Cover and an anti-reflective screen protector.
The software package spans Samsung and third-party AI tools, with Google AI Pro providing six months of access and 5TB of storage.
