Which Galaxy Tab S12 models did Samsung announce?
Samsung’s September 30, 2026 announcement names the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. It does not include a standard Galaxy Tab S12. Independent launch coverage also notes that the base model is absent, but Samsung has not explained why or said whether another model will arrive later. Samsung’s announcement is the source for the official lineup.
How do the S12+ and S12 Ultra differ?
The confirmed headline difference is screen size. Samsung lists a 12.6-inch display for the S12+ and a 14.6-inch display for the Ultra. The larger screen may suit people who want more room for documents, multitasking, or media, but size alone does not establish better performance.

|---|---|
| Galaxy Tab S12+ | 12.6 inches |
| Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra | 14.6 inches |
