Samsung has added another interesting option to its lineup with the all-new Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+, and on paper it looks like a device that wants to be your daily driver. Announced in 2026, September 30, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
Up front there is a 12.6 inches, 460.6 cm 2 (~84.7% screen-to-body ratio) screen, pushing a resolution of 1752 x 2800 pixels, 16:10 ratio (~262 ppi density), which is more than sharp enough for everyday use, streaming and a bit of gaming. It is not trying to reinvent the wheel with its design, but it does look the part. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Gray.
Performance & Software
Powering the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (3 nm), paired with 12GB of RAM, which means smooth scrolling, quick app switching and no real hiccups in normal use. It runs Android 17, up to 7 major OS updates, One UI 9 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
Photography is handled by a main 13 MP shooter that should cover most situations, from daylight shots to the occasional low-light frame. It is not a pro camera rig, but for everyday memories it gets the job done nicely.
Battery
Battery duties are handled by a Li-Po 10600 mAh unit, and that is a healthy number that keeps range anxiety at bay.
