First Look: Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra Renders Reveal a Familiar Face

Is the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra Stuck in a Time Loop?

While the tech world is currently buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event—where Samsung is expected to drop not one, but three new foldables—the rumor mill has shifted its focus to the company’s high-end tablet lineup. We’ve just caught a glimpse of the upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, thanks to a fresh set of CAD-based renders.

Renowned tipster OnLeaks teamed up with Smartphone Checker to give us this sneak peek. If you were hoping for a dramatic design overhaul, you might want to adjust your expectations. According to these renders, the Tab S12 Ultra is sticking to the exact same blueprint as the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. We are looking at identical dimensions—326.34 x 208.46 x 5.12mm—and the same front-facing layout we saw last year.

What’s Changing Under the Hood?

Earlier whispers suggested that Samsung might finally swap the notch for a modern punch-hole front camera, but these latest renders tell a different story. The semi-circular notch remains firmly in place.

However, it isn’t all about the status quo. Under the hood, the Tab S12 Ultra is set for a significant performance boost with the jump to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. On the flip side, if you were looking for a battery upgrade, you might be slightly disappointed. The tablet is expected to retain the same 11,600 mAh capacity found in its predecessor.

While plenty of details remain under wraps, we still have a good amount of time before the anticipated September launch to see if Samsung has any other tricks up its sleeve for this flagship slate.
