Samsung has announced Indian pricing for the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+, its newest flagship Android tablets. The Galaxy Tab S12+ starts at ₹1,29,999, while the larger Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra starts at ₹1,49,999.
Both tablets go on sale from October 7 via Samsung Exclusive Stores, partner retailers, Samsung.com and other online platforms. They will be available in Gray and Silver, in Wi-Fi and 5G variants, with 12GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.
The Galaxy Tab S12 series brings Samsung’s thinnest-ever Galaxy Tab design, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset, brighter AMOLED screens and Android 17 with One UI 9. Buyers also get an S Pen in the box, something that has remained one of Samsung’s strongest advantages in the premium tablet segment.
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra has a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2,960 x 1,848 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The Galaxy Tab S12+ gets a 12.6-inch, 2,800 x 1,752 Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, also with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Both panels can reach up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness, while Samsung’s Vision Booster adjusts brightness according to ambient lighting.
At 5.1mm, the Tab S12 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy Tab to date. The Tab S12+ measures 5.3mm. The Ultra weighs 692g in its Wi-Fi version, while the Plus weighs 553g, making it the more practical option for anyone who intends to carry it regularly.
Powering both tablets is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor. Samsung claims it delivers 61% faster NPU performance, 19% faster CPU performance and 17% better GPU performance than the previous Galaxy Tab generation. A redesigned 3D vapour chamber is meant to help maintain performance during long editing, gaming or multitasking sessions.
The Tab S12 Ultra packs an 11,600mAh battery, while the Tab S12+ gets a 10,600mAh battery. Samsung claims up to 23 hours of battery life on the Ultra and 21 hours on the Plus under ideal lab conditions. Both support 45W charging, with a claimed 0 to 100% charging time of around 95 minutes with the compatible adapter.
Other specifications include IP68 water and dust resistance, quad speakers with four-channel spatial audio, microSD expansion up to 2TB and Bluetooth 6.0. The Tab S12 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 7, while the Tab S12+ has Wi-Fi 6E.
The Galaxy Tab S12 series runs Android 17 with One UI 9 and supports up to three apps on screen through Multi Window. That could be useful for someone taking notes in Samsung Notes while watching a lecture and keeping Gemini open for quick explanations.
Samsung’s Note Assist can summarise notes, and buyers receive a six-month Google AI Pro trial. Samsung Browser can also summarise open webpages and surface previously visited sources.
Adobe Photoshop comes pre-loaded on both tablets, with buyers getting four months of the Photoshop mobile plan free. Samsung is also offering one year of Goodnotes access, a 66% discount on LumaFusion, six months of Clip Studio Paint and 20% off its first subscription.
