Samsung’s newest Galaxy Tab S12 lineup has arrived in the Philippines, featuring two premium models: the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and the Tab S12+. Both tablets feature immersive displays and come bundled with the S Pen for effortless note-taking and precise editing. With easy access to professional-grade apps and versatile accessories, users can pursue their passions and progress toward their goals with ease.
The thinnest and most powerful Galaxy Tab to date
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra achieves a thickness of just 5.1mm, marking it as the slimmest tablet Samsung has ever produced while incorporating the series’ most powerful hardware. Under the hood, the Dimensity 9500 processor delivers 61% faster neural processing performance, 19% quicker central processing speeds, and 17% improved graphics processing power compared to the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Thermal management is handled by an advanced 3D Vapor Chamber, which ensures stable operation during extended work sessions.
Battery performance remains exceptional, with the Ultra’s 11,600 mAh battery lasting up to 23 hours on a single charge. The Tab S12+, equipped with a 10,600 mAh battery, provides 21 hours of usage. Both models support 45 W wired charging, allowing a full recharge in approximately 95 minutes. The IP68 rating ensures resistance to dust and water, offering practical durability for users in diverse environments.
Advanced displays and immersive audio
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is equipped with a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, while the Tab S12+ features a 12.6-inch version. Both screens achieve 1,600 nits of peak brightness, paired with Vision Booster technology that dynamically adjusts contrast and brightness based on ambient lighting conditions. This ensures clear visuals in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Audio quality has also seen significant improvements, with 4-channel spatial audio—double the channels of the previous model—enhancing immersion during streaming, editing, or following tutorials. The included S Pen provides precise input for note-taking, annotations, and digital artistry, making it indispensable for students, designers, and remote workers.

Note Assist provides real-time summaries of key points, simplifying study sessions.
