Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Plus: October 7 Launch Date
Samsung is reportedly targeting October 7, 2026 for the official unveiling, a relatively quick follow-up cadence that continues the yearly refresh pattern the Tab S series has followed in recent years.
MediaTek Power Under the Hood
Both tablets are tipped to run on a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset — a continuation of the platform shift Samsung began exploring with the Tab S10 Plus’s move to Dimensity 9300+, as Qualcomm’s flagship silicon pricing has pushed Samsung toward MediaTek alternatives for its tablet lineup.
Display and Build
Leaks point to large AMOLED displays across both models, with the Ultra expected to retain its signature dual-front-camera notch and expansive screen real estate, while the Plus variant targets a more balanced size-to-weight ratio for everyday productivity use.
Pricing Expectations
Given that Samsung recently hiked Tab S11 Ultra prices in India by up to ₹16,000, the Tab S12 series is likely to launch at similarly premium — or higher — price points when it arrives in Indian markets.
