Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Series Hands On: A Matter Of Personal Preference

Samsung just revealed their latest batch of top-of-the-line tablets, the Galaxy Tab S12+ and the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. The primary difference between the two is their size, though they share many design elements from the previous year. Both models retain the Samsung branding on the top left corner, magnetic pogo pins for accessory attachment, and offer Gray and Silver color options.

One significant variation is the absence of an ultrawide lens on the Plus model, while the Ultra includes a dual camera setup housed in individual rings. When examining the displays, you'll notice a slight difference in the front camera placement - the Ultra features a waterdrop notch, whereas the Plus incorporates the camera into the bezel. Despite these differences, both tablets use the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels, providing a smooth and responsive user experience with a glossy surface.

However, it's worth mentioning that Samsung has discontinued the anti-reflective coating on these models, which may lead to more glare issues. The Ultra model, being larger at 14.6 inches, offers a bigger 14.6-inch AMOLED display, comparable to a laptop. While this provides an immersive viewing experience, it also makes the tablet less portable. Despite its slim profile, the Ultra still occupies considerable space in a backpack alongside other essential gadgets.
