Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra Leak Suggests Minimal Design Changes

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 series, slated for release in the second half of the year (potentially early September), may offer few design changes compared to its predecessor, according to a new leak.

Likely Similar Design to Tab S11 Ultra

A leaked image, shared by Android Headlines, reveals the design of the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, showing significant similarities to the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The image confirms the retention of the notch, suggesting Samsung is making minimal alterations beyond potentially the default wallpaper.

This leak corroborates earlier rumors and CAD-based renders, further solidifying the expectation of a largely unchanged design.

Retained Features and S Pen Design

Despite the limited design changes, the tablet is expected to maintain the thin bezels and rear camera setup from previous models. The leaked image, believed to be an official Samsung render, also suggests the device will retain a gray color scheme.

The S Pen stylus also appears largely unchanged, likely keeping its physical button and features. However, official confirmation awaits the device's premiere.

Notch Criticism and iPad Comparison

While the utilitarian design may appeal to some, the continued use of a notch on a 14-inch tablet has been criticized, particularly in comparison to the smaller iPad Pro M5 which integrates its front camera within the border.
