Samsung has launched its latest flagship tablets, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11, emphasising productivity, creativity, and portability. Both tablet models are based on One UI 8 and feature the latest Galaxy AI capabilities to enable smarter multitasking and creative workflows.
Thinner Build, Smarter Experience
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is Samsung's slimmest tablet to date at 5.1 mm, coupled with super narrow bezels and a Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with up to 1600 nits of brightness. The design tries to balance performance and portability for individuals who require a big-screen device while on the go.

AI-Powered Multimodal Tools
Samsung has introduced new AI features that operate across text, voice, and images. With Gemini Live, customers can share their screen or direct the camera at objects and receive real-time explanations, translations, or summaries. Galaxy AI is also capable of rewriting writing style, helping with drawings, and summarising long content without exiting the present app.
Productivity With Samsung DeX
The upgraded Samsung DeX also introduces Extended Mode, making the tablet and an external display a dual-screen system. Apps can be dragged and dropped between screens, or as many as four customised work environments can be created for different activities, making the Tab S11 series even more versatile for work and travel.
Redesigned S Pen
The S Pen has a cone tip for improved tilt control and is hexagonal for a natural grip. Quick Tools and Sticky Note features allow easier note-taking or on-the-fly editing without ever having to change apps.
Performance and Battery
Driven by Samsung's newest 3nm chip, the S11 series offers up to 33% improved AI performance and enhanced CPU/GPU efficiency. More power comes in a larger battery and improved thermal system, promising uninterrupted performance during demanding workloads such as editing or multitasking.
Creative App Ecosystem
The tablets also support third-party applications such as Goodnotes, Clip Studio Paint, LumaFusion, and Notion, with special free trials and discounts for Galaxy users. More tools such as Noteshelf, ArcSite, and Picsart provide more opportunities for both professionals and creators.
