The Galaxy Tab S12 series has been in the news for a while and is expected to launch around September this year, assuming Samsung follows its usual release cycle. There have been rumors that the Ultra model would feature a hole-punch selfie camera. However, more recent leaks suggest that may not happen this year.
Fortunately, there is some good news when it comes to performance. The Ultra model has appeared on Geekbench, revealing improved performance as compared to last year’s Tab S11 Ultra.
Although the listing does not confirm the model name, the model number SM-X946B closely resembles that of the Tab S11 Ultra, which was SM-X936B, confirming that this is the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra.
The listing reveals the core cluster of the upcoming tablet: one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores. It rules out the last two generations of the Snapdragon flagships. It also shows a peak clock speed of 4.21 GHz and 2.7 GHz for the efficiency cores, confirming this is the Dimensity 9500.
As for performance, the chipset scores 2,424 in the single-core test and 8,446 in the multi-core test. This is a slight improvement in performance over the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
The test unit packs 12GB RAM, matching the starting configuration of last year’s model. There will likely be a 16GB variant as well.
According to previous rumors, the Tab S12 Ultra is expected to retain many of the specifications from last year’s model, including a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, an 11,600mAh battery, and 45W charging.
As for the cameras, users can expect a 13MP primary, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP front-facing shooter. This hardware will run One UI 9 based on Android 17 and, following Samsung’s flagship software policy, is expected to receive seven major Android OS updates and seven years of security patches.
