Overview
- Samsung executive Daniel Araujo confirmed during the company’s Q3 earnings call on Thursday that the Galaxy Tab S12 family will arrive in the second half of 2026.
- The Galaxy Tab S12+ has cleared the US Federal Communications Commission under model numbers SM‑X848U (cellular) and SM‑X840 (Wi‑Fi), showing support for 5G, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth, NFC, S Pen input, a microSD slot, and 45W wired charging.
- Multiple international certifications and leaks, including Safety Korea live images and India’s BIS listings, have consistently described a high‑end S12+ with a roughly 12.4‑inch AMOLED 120Hz display, MediaTek Dimensity 9500‑series chipset, and around a 10,500–10,600mAh battery, though Samsung has not confirmed final specs.
- Current filings and renders point to Samsung reviving a mid‑size Plus model alongside an Ultra variant while offering no clear evidence yet for a standard Tab S12, indicating a slimmer premium lineup than in some past years.
- Industry coverage places a likely announcement in the September/IFA window, with pricing, full specifications, and exact release dates still unannounced and likely to determine how the tablets compete on performance and value.
