New leak reveals unexpected details about Samsung's upcoming top-tier tablets
Samsung will have a very busy summer, but that has become tradition for the South Korean company, which remains committed to launching two flagship series each year. After introducing the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, Samsung is now gearing up for another major launch, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Besides these two foldables, Samsung is also expected to refresh its flagship tablet series with at least two new models, Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Rumor has it that the tablets aren't ready for release yet and they're unlikely to hit shelves along with Samsung's new foldables, but that's no surprise considering that most of the company's high-end tablets were announced in fall. Unlike last year when Samsung launched a 'Plus' Galaxy Tab S10 version, this year the South Korean giant decided to limit the series to just two models: Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The former makes a comeback after one year of hiatus, while the latter continues the string of 'Ultra' tablets Samsung launched since 2022. The first information leaked about the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra indicates that both tablets will be equipped with Dimensity 9400 processors, MediaTek's flagship chipset. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has a 11,200 mAh battery, just like the previous Ultra models | Image credit: PhoneArena New details about Samsung's flagship tablets reveal that at least one of them will have a bigger battery, which is unusual. Ever since Samsung launched the first Ultra tablet, the Galaxy Tab S8, it always included a 11,200 mAh battery. However, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra seems to feature a slightly larger battery. The folks at GalaxyClub found evidence that Samsung's next flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, will have a 11,700 - 12,000 mAh battery. The exact capacity will be announced by Samsung, but the rated capacity of Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is 11,374 mAh. In comparison, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has a rated capacity of 10,880, although the advertised battery capacity of the tablet is 11,200 mAh. This will be the first time that Samsung upgrades the battery of its Ultra tablets. Even if that seems a minor improvement, it makes way for more improvements in future models.

Galaxy Tab S11 leak suggests the Ultra is getting a major battery upgrade
Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority TL;DR The battery specifications for the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra have leaked. The base model may come with a typical capacity of 8,400mAh. The Ultra could have an advertised capacity of 11,700 or 12,000mAh. Samsung is currently working on the next additions to the Galaxy Tab line. Not much is currently known about the Galaxy Tab S11 series, other than it's expected to launch in the second half of the year, there may not be a Pro model, and AI will be a point of focus. But we're getting some new information that now reveals the battery specifications. According to GalaxyClub, Samsung is going with two tablets again for the Galaxy Tab this year. A Pro model won't be a part of this two-pronged approach, but a base model will. The report claims that the base model will feature a battery with a rated capacity of 8,160mAh, but the advertised capacity will likely be 8,400mAh. This would mean the battery capacity for the Tab S11 is the same as the Tab S9. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is said to have a rated capacity of 11,374mAh, which would be 500mAh more than the Tab S10 Ultra. As for the advertised capacity, the Tab S10 Ultra's battery comes in at 11,200mAh. As such, it's expected that the Tab S11's advertised capacity could end up being around 11,700mAh, or even 12,000mAh. This is a pretty big deal considering Samsung has not upgraded the Ultra model's battery since its debut with the Tab S8 series. So this would be the first time an Ultra has received a bigger battery. It's still unclear when Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy Tab S11 series. The company does have an Unpacked event coming up soon for its foldables. However, it's possible that these tablets could end up missing this event. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Looking forward to Samsung's next big tablets? We have good news... and not-so-good news for you
There's been a lot of recent chatter about Samsung's next-gen high-end smartphones (both the ones set to see daylight this summer and in early 2026), as well as several upcoming Galaxy Watches and even an interesting new pair of Galaxy Buds likely to come out soon, but what about the company's Galaxy Tab S10 + and Tab S10 Ultra sequels? Those undoubtedly advanced Android-based iPad Pro alternatives haven't been in the news much until today, making me pretty confident they're still (many) months away from a commercial debut, but now the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra are in the spotlight with some very juicy details revealed by a typically highly reliable source (translated here). First of all, yes, it appears that Samsung will release the Galaxy Tab S11 in two sizes, just like the Tab S10, but unlike the three-model Galaxy Tab S9 family. Secondly, rumor has it that only the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra will receive a direct sequel as part of the Tab S11 family, while the 12.4-inch Tab S10 Plus is expected to be left without a follow-up, at least for the time being. The Galaxy Tab S9 (pictured here) will finally get a sequel... of sorts with an unchanged battery size. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Instead of a Galaxy Tab S11 Plus, Samsung's most devoted fans will likely finally get the chance to buy a sequel... of sorts to 2023's 11-inch Tab S9. The "vanilla" Tab S11 is today tipped to pack a battery with a rated capacity of 8,160mAh. That's all but guaranteed to be advertised as an 8,400mAh battery, which is the exact same number listed in the Galaxy Tab S9 's official spec sheet. For what it's worth, that was upgraded from the 8,000mAh advertised cell capacity of the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S7 from all the way back in 2020. Still, I can perfectly understand if you're left feeling disappointed by this (very credible) rumor, but if instead of the "regular" Tab S11, you're more excited about a gargantuan Tab S11 Ultra, you'll probably be delighted to hear that model is expected to come with a rated battery capacity of 11,374mAh. That should result in an advertised figure of between 11,700 and 12,000mAh, which would represent a pretty significant upgrade over the 11,200mAh cell-packing Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Not for certain. But it's quite clear that the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will last longer between charges compared to its aforementioned predecessor regardless of other specs like screen size, resolution, and processing power. Given that the Galaxy Tab S10 + and Tab S10 Ultra are both powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ chipset, it feels safe to assume that the Tab S11 duo will use a newer and snappier Dimensity 9400 SoC from the same manufacturer, although there is still hope for a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite as well. Will the Tab S11 Ultra come with an even bigger screen in tow than the Tab S10 Ultra (pictured here)? It's possible. | Image Credit -- PhoneAren It remains to be seen now if the Tab S11 Ultra will sport an even larger than 14.6-inch display to offset that battery size increase or perhaps expand the razor-thin 5.4mm profile of the Tab S10 Ultra a little. More importantly, the launch date of the Galaxy Tab S11 series is yet to be revealed... and pretty hard to guess based on the pattern (or lack thereof) of previous high-end Samsung tablet announcements. The Tab S10 duo was unveiled in September 2024, preceded by a Tab S9 trio in July 2023 and a Tab S8, Tab S8 Plus, and Tab S8 Ultra in February 2022, so I personally wouldn't be surprised if the Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra end up going official in early 2026 rather than this summer alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 or this fall together with a Galaxy S25 FE.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 series wishlist: All the features I want to see
Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority Android tablets may still lag behind their iPad counterparts, but there are still some decent options out there if you're looking to buy a Google-flavored slate. The two models that make up Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 series are among the best premium Android tablets you can get your hands on in 2025. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra launched more than six months ago, so it's a good time to ponder what comes next from the South Korean tech giant. We'd expect the Galaxy Tab S11 series to be announced later this year, so let's take a look at the improvements on our wishlist for Samsung's next flagship Android tablets. Return of the 11-inch model Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority Probably the least popular decision Samsung made with its Galaxy Tab S10 series was the omission of the smallest model with an 11-inch display. That left potential buyers with only the choice between the massive Tab S10 Plus and its 12.4-inch screen or the positively ginormous 14.6-inch Tab S10 Ultra. I would prefer a more reasonably-sized display, and while Samsung still sells the older Galaxy Tab S9 at a discounted price, that model came out in the summer of 2023. It's possible Samsung will skip the smaller screen size once again and reserve that feature for the recently unveiled Galaxy Tab S10 FE. There's surely demand for a brand-new premium 11-inch slate from Samsung, though, so I hope that's what Samsung has in store for us. The first credible leak about the Galaxy Tab S11 series suggests we may get our wish. We discovered mentions of two new Samsung tablets with codenames gts11 and gts11u, likely the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. There's no word of a Plus model yet, but an updated smaller device could make up for that. Snapdragon 8 Elite C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Up until the Galaxy Tab S9 series, Samsung's tablets followed a similar pattern to its flagship phones in terms of chipset. The devices would ship with a top-of-the-line Snapdragon processor in North America while using a slightly less performant Exynos chip in Europe. In a curious move, the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and S10 Ultra made the switch to a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ SoC instead of Qualcomm's best or Samsung's own silicon. There weren't too many complaints, since the MediaTek chips offered fast performance and decent efficiency. Like many people, I'd prefer a return to Snapdragon processors for the next Samsung tablets, not least for better emulation support. For its Galaxy S25 phones, Samsung went all in on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, in every market. And if our Galaxy S25 Ultra review is anything to go by, that Snapdragon 8 Elite processor would absolutely fly in a Samsung tablet. Unfortunately, as we recently reported, it looks like Samsung is gearing up to use MediaTek SoCs again for its Galaxy Tab S11 series. The rumored Dimensity 9400 processor would be an upgrade over the Dimensity 9300+, at least, but I'd still prefer to see the tablets ship with the latest Snapdragon chip. Redesigned Ultra model Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority Following a Reddit link opens the default app, which is designed without concern for tablets. It may be one of the more unique tablets on the market, but I'd love to see the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra get a full redesign. In our review, Ryan noted that the slim bezel is 'barely enough to hold the tablet without accidentally touching the screen'. Another consequence of this super-thin bezel is that the dual front-facing cameras have to be housed in a less-than-aesthetically pleasing notch. Slightly larger bezels would make the device more comfortable to hold and allow for a uniform border around the screen. This would also allow the front cameras to be placed neatly within the bezel, so here's hoping Samsung sees sense and rejigs the design of the Ultra model. More iPad-like aspect ratio Mahmoud Itani / Android Authority Another design choice I'd like to see Samsung steal from Apple is the aspect ratio of its tablet displays. Both the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Ultra feature 16:10 screens, which is great for watching wide content but not a lot else. It makes for an incredibly awkward experience on the huge Tab S10 Ultra, especially since very few apps are optimized for such a large, wide display. Apple typically uses a 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio for its iPads, depending on screen size, and I find this more comfortable for most use cases. It depends on what you use your tablet for, but for reading web content, drawing, note taking, and multitasking I'd almost always prefer a squarer aspect ratio. I don't expect Samsung to go down this route, as it likely sees this feature as a key differentiator of its products. One can dream, though. Monthly security updates Paul Jones / Android Authority With the Galaxy Tab S10 series, Samsung promises an incredible seven years of software support, but there's a small catch. Unlike its flagship phones, which get the usual monthly patches, Samsung only updates its tablets every quarter. That might not seem like a big deal in terms of rolling out new features, but if you only update a device four times a year, you leave it open to security issues. I'd love to see Samsung bring its update schedule for its tablets in line with its phones. Offering users peace of mind with monthly security updates for the Galaxy Tab S11 series would be a welcome upgrade. Which feature do you most want to see on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 series? 0 votes Snapdragon 8 Elite NaN % 11-inch model NaN % Redesigned Ultra model NaN % Ipad-like aspect ratio NaN % Monthly security updates NaN % Other (let us know in the comments) NaN % Will there be a Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 series? C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Samsung has launched new Tab S series models on an almost yearly basis since 2014, and there's no reason to believe 2025 will be any different. If previous years are anything to go by, we'd expect new Galaxy Tab S devices to arrive sometime between late summer and the end of fall. Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 — February 9, 2022 February 9, 2022 Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 — July 26, 2023 July 26, 2023 Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 — September 27, 2024 I did wonder if Samsung would change the naming convention for its upcoming Galaxy Tab S devices to match the year, as it did with the Galaxy S20 series back in 2020. By jumping from the S10 in 2019 up to the S20 the following year, the company signaled a new era of premium Galaxy phones. This also coincided with the launch of the first 'Ultra' phone in the lineup. According to our recent report, Samsung is referring to its next flagship tablets as gts11 and gts11u, which could mean it's sticking with the Galaxy Tab S11 moniker. There's plenty of time for this to change, however, and it might make it easier for consumers if it markets the new products as the Galaxy Tab S25 series to match its smartphones. Should you wait for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 series? Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority It's hard to say whether or not you should wait since there's no release date or solid info on new features at this point. If you've been waiting for an update to the Galaxy Tab S9 and its more manageable form factor, the rumored return of the smaller Galaxy Tab S11 might be worth waiting for. The current generation Galaxy Tab S10 ($999.99 at Samsung) or Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra ($1199.99 at Samsung) will be plenty good enough for most people. And if you're looking for a great Android tablet with a smaller display, you may be happy to save some money and go for the older Galaxy Tab S9 ($799.99 at Samsung) or the recently unveiled Galaxy Tab S10 FE ($499 at Samsung). Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus Big battery • Bright display • Precision input MSRP: $999.99 Portable productivity The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus offers up a beautiful 12.4-inch display, high-resolution stylus input, and enough power to replace a small laptop.

The 14.6-inch display on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra makes it a delight for media consumption. Precision input with a stylus makes this Android tablet a beast for creators, and the optional detachable keyboard makes for a true laptop replacement. See price at Samsung
