Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra Reviewed from an Artist's Perspective

Released in October 2026, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S12 series tablets—the Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra—were reviewed by an artist using a loaned unit from Samsung Singapore. The reviewer opted to embed a video review rather than write a lengthy text piece, noting that text content is often scraped by AI. Key upgrades over the previous Tab S11 generation include the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, which is 17% faster than the 9400+ chip, improved thermal management, Android 17 with Samsung OneUI 9, seven years of OS updates, Bluetooth v6, and a new 4-channel spatial audio system. The bottom line, according to the reviewer, is that the Samsung Tab S12 is currently the best Android tablet on the market, offering excellent build quality, display, battery life, OS features, and good pen support. Although the price is high, the long usable lifespan makes the average cost per year reasonable. The review is aimed at artists considering the tablet for creative work, and the reviewer suggests that those with an older Samsung tablet may find the upgrades worthwhile.
