Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ Spotted in First Live Image

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12+ Breaks Cover: Early Look at the Upcoming Flagship

Samsung is gearing up for a fresh wave of tablet hardware, with the Galaxy Tab S12+ and the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra officially on the horizon. While we expect these to make their debut alongside the Galaxy S26 FE—likely hitting the scene this September—we’ve just caught our first real-world glimpse of the hardware.

Samsung typically follows a rhythmic release cycle, refreshing the Ultra model annually while alternating between the standard and Plus versions. After last year’s Galaxy Tab S11, it’s officially time for the S12+ to take the spotlight.

First Real-World Glimpse

The Galaxy Tab S12+ recently passed through Safety Korea certification, and the process has leaked a live image of the device. You can check it out above. As expected, the tablet sticks closely to the established Samsung design language. If you’ve seen a recent high-end Galaxy tablet, you’ll know exactly what to expect here: a clean, premium aesthetic that fits right in with its predecessors.

We’ve also confirmed the model numbers associated with this launch: SM-X840 for the standard version, and SM-X846N for the 5G-enabled Korean variant.

What’s Next?

While the certification gives us a confirmation of the device’s existence, it leaves the actual spec sheet a mystery for now. However, with a rumored September launch window, the rumor mill is bound to heat up soon. We’ll be keeping a close eye on any leaked benchmarks or internal hardware details, so check back for updates as the launch date approaches.
