The Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is expected to maintain the physical dimensions of its predecessor, measuring 326.34 x 208.46 x 5.12 mm, while potentially switching to a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. According to renders shared by leaker OnLeaks via Smartphone Checker, the device will retain the screen notch and an 11,600 mAh battery, with a projected launch around September.
MediaTek Dimensity 9500: A Shift in Processing Power
The most significant internal change reported by OnLeaks is the move to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. This marks a departure from the Qualcomm Snapdragon hardware typically found in Samsung’s Ultra tablets.
Design Stagnation and the Persistent Notch
Based on the Smartphone Checker renders, Samsung isn’t changing the chassis. The dimensions remain identical to the previous generation, suggesting a “refresh” rather than a redesign.
Despite earlier rumors suggesting a move toward a sensor-less or “hole-punch” design, the OnLeaks renders show the notch is still present. This means the display real estate will be interrupted in the same way as the previous model.
