Samsung App Teardown Points to Dimensity 9500 in Galaxy Tab S12 Flagships

The code hint suggests Samsung may stick with MediaTek in its top tablets.

Overview

Android Authority's teardown of Samsung's AI Core app on Thursday found the MT6993 model number linked to MediaTek's Dimensity 9500.
Industry outlets read the find as pointing to the Galaxy Tab S12+ and S12 Ultra, though Samsung has not confirmed the chip or the devices.
App strings also mention on‑device AI tools such as generative photo editing, image expansion, AI wallpapers, and a color‑matching Harmonization feature.
