Overview
- A live front‑facing image of the Tab S12 Plus was posted in South Korea’s Safety Korea database and reported by outlets on July 9–10, showing the device from the display side.
- The photo shows symmetrical, relatively thick bezels and a selfie camera housed in the top bezel when the tablet is used in landscape orientation.
- Certification records identify the device with model numbers SM‑X840 for a Wi‑Fi SKU and SM‑X846N / SM‑X846B for regional 5G SKUs in Safety Korea and India’s BIS listings.
- Back‑to‑back appearances in safety and standards databases suggest the hardware is frozen and undergoing regulatory review, though no official internal specifications have been published.
- Bringing back a Plus model would restore a mid‑tier option between the standard Tab and the Ultra, and the next steps to watch are Samsung’s official spec sheet, pricing, and a likely August–October launch window.
