Samsung unveils Galaxy Tab S11 Series with a newly-designed S-Pen
If you like your premium tablets to taste like Android, then Samsung's got some flavourful new Galaxy Tab S11 tablets for you to swallow.
At its September 2025 Galaxy event, alongside the Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung showed off its latest premium tablets, the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
The big selling points, aside from the giant, immaculate display, are the improved Galaxy AI features and a redesigned S Pen, as well as the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra being Samsung's thinnest tablet to date.
The Galaxy Tab S11 series is powered by a new 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, which promises fast, smooth performance.
Samsung has designed the S11 series with a new aluminium body that offers improved scratch and dent resistance. Both models are IP68 rated, meaning they are rated to be submerged in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes – but you really shouldn't do that.
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra features a large 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it is powered by a massive 11,600 mAh battery with 45W fast charging. It also has a dual-rear camera setup with a 13-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, while the front features a 12-megapixel selfie camera.
The standard Galaxy Tab S11 has an 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and an 8,400 mAh battery with 45W fast charging. Both tablets feature an in-display fingerprint scanner for security.
Naturally, there's a bunch of AI stuff in there like writing assist, drawing assist and circle to search, and Google Gemini is tightly integrated as well.
More interesting than that is the upgraded Samsung DeX experience, which allows the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra to transform into a dual-screen setup with a compatible external monitor. Users can also create up to four customisable workspaces for different needs.
Pricing wise, things start at $1,399 for the 128 GB Tab S11 and $2,099 for the 256GB S11 Ultra. But there are a bunch of variants, so it's easier to just copy and paste the table from the press release:
