Samsung's next Ultra tablet appears ready to outshine the iPad Pro

Samsung's next Ultra tablet appears ready to outshine the iPad Pro

Digital Trends2 days ago
The current generation iPad Pro introduced a massive design makeover for Apple's slate, and in the process, the company also managed to make it the thinnest tablet out there. Samsung's next flagship tablet could match the waistline of the iPad Pro, quite literally, while adding a few extra goodies into the mix.
What's on the table?
As per leakster Ahmed Qwaider, who has a fairly solid track record with Samsung leaks, the upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will only be 5.1 millimeters across. That's the same thickness as the 13-inch iPad Pro with the M4 silicon inside.
There will be a few crucial differences though. Samsung's slate will reportedly feature a bigger 14.6-inch display. Notably, the boat-shaped notch housing two front cameras is gone, and it will be replaced by a smaller teardrop-shaped notch that is now home to a single selfie camera.

Just like the iPad Pro, Samsung will go with an OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of onboard storage. Other leaked specs of the giant Samsung tablet include an IP68-cleared build and two color options — silver and grey.
How can Samsung shine?
Samsung's upcoming tablet will reportedly offer 45W wired charging support, which is noticeably faster than the iPad Pro. Moreover, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will supposedly feature two cameras at the back, unlike the single rear camera layout on its Apple rival.
Another neat facility is the recessed magnetic slot on the tablet's metallic shell for keeping the stylus. It is also said to run the full suite of AI features that are available across Samsung's smartphones courtesy of One UI 8 with deep Google Gemini integration. As far as a launch date goes, Samsung has confirmed that the Tab S11 series will land in the second half of 2025.

FBI Warns iPhone And Android Users—Do Not Use These Codes

FBI Warns iPhone And Android Users—Do Not Use These Codes

An 'impossible' to detect smartphone threat is now surging, with a new warning that more than 4 million attacks were observed 'in the first half of 2025 alone.' It's no surprise the FBI has a new warning for iPhone and Android users. We're talking QR codes, which Proofpoint warns 'burst on the scene in 2023' and are now being quickly 'adopted by threat actors as a way to remove the victim from the enterprise detection pipeline and bypass traditional URL scanning and filters.' The FBI has now issued a warning to all smartphone users that the latest such attack is taking hold, a change in tactics given all the headlines around unpaid toll, DMV motoring offenses and even the original favorite undelivered package texts. 'Criminals are sending unsolicited packages containing a QR code,' the bureau says, 'and once scanned, victims provide personal and financial information while unknowingly downloading malicious software that steals data from their phone.' Proofpoint warns 'it is impossible to tell if a QR code is a threat just by looking at it.' That makes 'these threats particularly dangerous,' with users now used to 'scanning QR codes with their phone cameras for everything from instructions to menus.' Just as with the FBI's latest advisory, these attacks are 'socially engineered to convince you to scan the code.' Once you do, you're 'redirected to a fraudulent website designed to steal sensitive data, such as login credentials, credit card numbers or personal data.' The FBI's advice is clear: 'Do not scan QR codes from unknown origins.' And while that includes this latest 'brushing' scam, with unsolicited packages delivered to your home with no sender details, it's more likely you'll be caught by a QR code in an email attachment or on a parking meter or even on a poster by the side of the street. The FBI says 'QR code scam has evolved much like all other scams,' and 'if you happen to scan a scammer's bad code, you could end up giving them access to your device.' Do that, the bureau says, and those attackers 'can access your contacts, download malware, or send you to a fake payment portal. Once there, you can inadvertently give them access to your banking and credit card accounts. If you make a payment through a bad QR code, it's difficult if not impossible to get those funds back.' Proofpoint says 'attacks that target people are all about hacking human nature,' and that's certainly the case with QR codes. In a world where your phone helpfully offers a link whenever it sees a code, without any of the link protection or warnings in other apps, it's easy to see why these attacks are surging. You have been warned.
