Alongside the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone, Samsung has unveiled its latest Galaxy Tab S11 series of Android tablets the Galaxy Tab S11 and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Both models feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays, Galaxy AI features, S Pen support, and seven years of updates, making them some of the most powerful Android tablets on the market today.
Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra: The Premium Powerhouse
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the most advanced tablet in the lineup. It sports a massive 14.6-inch WQXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, anti-reflective coating, Dolby Vision playback, and peak brightness of up to 1,600 nits. Thin bezels surround the panel, with a subtle notch at the top for the front camera.
At just 5.1mm thickness, the Tab S11 Ultra is impressively slim, but its 695g weight makes it heavier than the iPad Pro (582g). This weight comes from its Armour Aluminium chassis and massive 11,600mAh battery, which Samsung says can deliver up to 23 hours of video playback. Charging is handled by 45W USB-C fast charging.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the tablet runs on the 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, expandable by up to 2TB via microSD.
It ships with One UI 8 based on Android 16, backed by seven years of software and security updates. Samsung has also packed in Galaxy AI features such as Gemini Live, AI Writing Assist, and Circle to Search, plus enhancements to multitasking, DeX Mode, and S Pen functionality.
Cameras and Other Features
On the back, the Ultra model features a dual camera setup (13MP main + 8MP ultra-wide), while the front houses a 12MP ultra-wide selfie camera. Additional highlights include:
- In-display fingerprint scanner
- Quad stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos
- Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G support, GPS, and USB-C port
- IP68 water and dust resistance (for both tablet and S Pen)
Galaxy Tab S11: Compact Yet Capable
The regular Galaxy Tab S11 is designed for those who prefer a smaller footprint without compromising performance. It comes with an 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz, Dolby Vision playback, and 1,600 nits peak brightness. Unlike the Ultra model, it skips the anti-reflective coating and has slightly thicker bezels — but no notch.
At 5.5mm thickness and just 471g weight, it’s slimmer and lighter than its Ultra sibling, while still offering durability with the same Armour Aluminium build.
Performance and Software
Like the Ultra, it’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, but is limited to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (expandable up to 1.5TB). It also runs Android 16 with One UI 8, includes Galaxy AI features, and comes with Samsung’s promise of seven years of updates.
Battery and Cameras
The Tab S11 packs a smaller 8,400mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. On the camera front, it offers a 13MP rear camera and a 12MP ultra-wide front camera, though it lacks the extra rear ultra-wide sensor of the Ultra model.
Other highlights include:
- IP68 water and dust resistance
- In-display fingerprint scanner
- Quad stereo speakers
- Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G support, GPS, and USB-C port
Price and Availability
- Galaxy Tab S11 price: $799.99 (approx. ₹70,500) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB model
- Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra price: $1,199.99 (approx. ₹1,05,800)
Both tablets will be available in select markets from September 4, 2025, in Gray and Silver color options. Samsung has yet to confirm the India launch and pricing, which will be updated soon.

Samsung is also introducing a set of official accessories, including:
- Book Cover Keyboard with a dedicated Galaxy AI button
- Smart Book Cover with S Pen holder
- Outdoor Cover for protection
- Notepad and Privacy Screens
- S Pen interchangeable tips
Final Thoughts
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is clearly aimed at professionals and creators who need a large screen, long battery life, and high-end performance, while the Galaxy Tab S11 caters to users who prefer a compact yet equally powerful tablet.
