Samsung is widely expected to expand its tablet lineup with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12, with reports pointing to an India launch around 4 September 2026. Samsung has not confirmed an official date, but industry listings suggest both tablets could arrive together, with sales in India to follow shortly after. Until Samsung confirms these details, treat every specification and price here as an informed expectation rather than a final fact.
Whichever tablet lands, Bajaj Finance can help you plan ahead. With the Easy EMI Loan, you get a loan offer amount of up to Rs. 5 lakh, so a premium tablet purchase can be split into manageable monthly payments. The tenure runs between 3 and 60 months, giving you the flexibility to choose a repayment plan that suits your budget. Once your tablet launches, you can use this facility at over 1.5 lakh partner stores spread across more than 4,000 cities in India, making it easy to walk in, choose your device, and walk out with a plan that fits your finances.
How the two tablets could compare
Based on current leaks and listings, here is how the expected specifications of both models stack up:
| Specification | Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra (expected) | Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 (expected) |
| Display | 14.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz | 11.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 9500+ | Octa-core processor |
| RAM | 12GB | 12GB |
| Storage | 256GB, expandable | 128GB, expandable up to 2TB |
| Rear camera | 13MP + 8MP dual setup | 13MP |
| Front camera | 12MP | 12MP |
| Battery | 11,800 mAh | 9,000 mAh |
| Charging | 45 W fast charging | 45 W fast charging |
| Operating system | Android 17 with Galaxy AI | Android 17 |
These figures come from pre-launch listings and are likely to change once Samsung confirms the final specification sheet, so treat them as a guide rather than the last word.
Display and everyday use
The Tab S12 Ultra is tipped to lead with a large 14.8-inch AMOLED screen, a size that suits users who split their time between spreadsheets, video calls, and streaming on one device. Its 120Hz refresh rate should make scrolling and note-taking feel smooth. The Tab S12, at a more compact 11.1 inches, looks better suited to buyers who want a tablet that travels easily while still offering the sharpness and colour depth Samsung’s AMOLED panels are known for. Both are expected to run Android 17, layered with Samsung’s One UI and Galaxy AI tools for writing, summarising notes, and searching on-screen content.
Performance and productivity
The Tab S12 Ultra’s rumoured MediaTek Dimensity 9500+ chipset points to a flagship-level tablet built for demanding multitasking, from editing large documents to running several apps side by side. Reports also suggest the Ultra could support the S Pen, useful for note-taking, sketching, or marking up PDFs. The standard Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 is expected to carry a capable octa-core processor of its own, pairing 12GB RAM with solid everyday productivity, though it may sit a notch below the Ultra for heavier workloads such as video editing.
Battery life and charging
Battery capacity is one area where the two models could diverge sharply. The Tab S12 Ultra’s rumoured 11,800 mAh battery should comfortably support a full day of mixed use, from video calls to entertainment. The Tab S12’s 9,000 mAh battery, while smaller, still points to solid all-day use for lighter tasks like browsing, reading, and streaming. Both are tipped to support 45 W fast charging.
Cameras and connectivity
Camera hardware on tablets rarely rivals smartphones, and these two are no exception, but both are expected to cover the basics well. The Tab S12 Ultra’s rumoured dual rear camera setup should help with document scanning and casual photography, while its 12MP front camera is likely aimed at video calls. The Tab S12 is expected to keep things simpler with a single 13MP rear camera and matching 12MP front sensor. Reports also point to the Ultra offering dual-SIM 5G connectivity and an IP69 rating, which would make it a sturdier option for users moving between indoor and outdoor settings.
Expected pricing in India
Since neither tablet has launched yet, the numbers below reflect informed estimates rather than confirmed pricing.
| Model | Expected price (India) |
| Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra (12GB + 256GB) | Rs. 1,29,990* |
| Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 (12GB + 128GB) | Rs. 99,990* |
If Samsung follows its usual pattern, the Tab S12 Ultra should sit firmly in the premium tablet bracket, while the Tab S12 could appeal to buyers who want flagship polish without the Ultra’s price tag.
