According to Roland Quandt, a journalist from the German website WinFuture, Samsung is reportedly skipping the Galaxy Tab S12 "classic" model, which would have been a more affordable option. Instead, the Galaxy Tab S12 series will consist of only two tablets: the Tab S12+ and the Tab S12 Ultra. This decision means the series will start at a higher price point, as there will be no entry-level model to attract budget-conscious buyers.
The Galaxy Tab S12+ is expected to start at 1,299 euros for the version with 12 gigabytes of RAM, 256 gigabytes of storage, and Wi-Fi only. An additional 200 euros would be needed for a version with 512 gigabytes of storage. For 5G-compatible models, the price jumps to 1,449 euros for the 256 gigabyte version and 1,649 euros for the 512 gigabyte version. The Tab S12 Ultra, the more premium option, would start at 1,539 euros for the 12/256 gigabyte version without 5G, with an additional 150 euros for the 5G version and 1,739 euros for the 512 gigabyte Wi-Fi version. Details about a 1 terabyte version are not available.
The absence of the Tab S12 "classic" makes it harder to compare with last year's Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, which was launched at 1,339 euros. At the same configuration, the S12 Ultra would cost about 200 euros more. At this price level, Samsung is directly competing with Apple. The iPad Pro 13 inches with an M4 chip was launched at 1,569 euros for the 256 gigabyte Wi-Fi version, just slightly above the expected price of the Tab S12 Ultra. This positions the Samsung tablet as a direct competitor to Apple's flagship product in the premium Android tablet market.
According to the leaks, the Tab S12 Ultra would use the same key components as the S11 Ultra, including a 14.6-inch AMOLED screen with a notch and an 11,600 mAh battery. The design and dimensions are expected to remain largely unchanged. The main cost increases are likely due to a more recent processor and higher RAM prices, rather than a complete redesign.
While no official date has been announced, Samsung's typical release schedule suggests the Tab S12 series could launch around September 2026, following the September 2025 release of the Tab S11 series. These details remain unconfirmed, and Samsung has not officially announced any prices or launch dates. If the leaked information is accurate, the Tab S12 Ultra will cost more than 1,500 euros, not including a separately sold keyboard. At this price point, these tablets are primarily aimed at professionals looking to replace a laptop, rather than the general public.
