New Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 tablets: thin, powerful and with high battery life

Samsung Electronics presented the new Galaxy Tab S12 series, consisting of Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+. Tablet with high performance, long battery life and ultra-thin design, with a thickness of just 5.1 mm.

Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+ have large displays and include the S Pen. On a single charge, the battery offers up to 23 hours of battery life on the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and up to 21 hours on the Galaxy Tab S12+. The battery goes from 0 to 100% in about 95 minutes using a 45W adapter.

The 3-nanometer processor promises up to 61% faster NPU performance, up to 19% faster CPU performance and up to 17% improved GPU performance compared to the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.

The Galaxy Tab S12 series also integrates Ip68 certification for resistance to water and dust.

The Galaxy Tab S12 series features large Amoled displays with a peak brightness of up to 1,600 nits. Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a large 14.6-inch screen. Galaxy Tab S12+ offers, however, a 12.6-inch display, larger than the previous model and with thinner bezels.

The audio sector also takes a significant step forward thanks to the new 4 speaker system, which doubles the number of channels compared to the previous generation.

Both models include the S Pen. For those who want an even more complete workstation, the new Pro Keyboard with aluminum finish and Galaxy AI Key button is available, for immediate access to AI assistants. The Book Cover Keyboard Slim, on the other hand, offers maximum flexibility thanks to different viewing angles.

For the first time on an Android tablet, Adobe Photoshop is pre-installed on the Galaxy Tab S12 series. The interface has been optimized for the tablet format and S Pen support makes turning ideas into digital creations even more natural.
