  "account": "Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 series will likely come with a price increase, but it won't be as steep as one might expect, according to leaked information from Roland Quandt. The new series, which is expected to release soon and feature larger Plus and Ultra models, will have a starting US price of $1,199. This represents a roughly $100 increase from the previous generation. For reference, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra began at $1,299, while the last Galaxy Tab S10+ started at $1,099. Therefore, despite the price hike, the new models will still be relatively comparable in cost to their predecessors. The release date remains uncertain, but it is believed that the Galaxy Tab S12 series will launch alongside the Galaxy S26 FE, which Samsung has confirmed will be available next week.",
  "summary": "As with everything else, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 series will be more expensive, but it could be a whole lot worse.",
