Samsung’s upcoming flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, is already stirring excitement thanks to newly leaked images and specs. If you’ve been following the evolution of Samsung’s Ultra tablets, you’ll know that the front-facing camera notch has been a point of contention. But it looks like Samsung is finally listening.
🔍 A Smaller Notch, A Bigger Win
The Tab S11 Ultra will feature a single front-facing camera, a shift from the dual-camera setups seen in the Tab S8, S9, and S10 Ultra models. This change allows for a smaller, semicircular notch that’s far less intrusive—especially on the expansive 14.6-inch OLED display. While the notch remains due to ultra-thin bezels, it now occupies a much smaller footprint, making for a cleaner viewing experience.
🖼️ Display & Design
- Display Size: 14.6″ OLED
- Resolution: 2960 x 1848 pixels
- Thickness: Just 5.1mm
- Battery: 11,600mAh (up from 11,200mAh in Tab S10 Ultra)
- Charging: 45W fast charging
Samsung is reportedly using a new panel for this model, which may offer improved brightness and color accuracy—though resolution remains unchanged.
📸 Camera Setup
- Front: Single camera in a semicircular notch
- Rear: Dual setup – wide and ultra-wide lenses
This streamlined camera configuration suggests Samsung is prioritizing aesthetics and usability over gimmicks.
⚙️ Performance & Software
Under the hood, the Tab S11 Ultra is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset. While earlier rumors hinted at the 9400+, the difference is marginal—mainly a slight bump in CPU and NPU performance.
- RAM: Up to 16GB (base model likely starts at 12GB)
- Storage: Up to 1TB
- OS: Android 16 with One UI 8 (yet to be revealed for tablets)
📅 Launch Timeline
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra at IFA in early September, and if these leaks are anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be one of the most refined tablets in the Ultra lineup.
