For instance, users can take notes, stream a lecture and access an AI assistant at the same time.
Both tablets are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, built on a 3nm process. Samsung claims it delivers 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance, and 17% better GPU performance than the previous generation.

Both support 45W charging, with Samsung claiming a full charge in 95 minutes with a compatible adapter. A redesigned 3D vapour chamber helps dissipate heat during extended use.
The tablets also differ in their rear camera setups. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a 13MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, whereas the Tab S12+ has a single 13MP rear camera. Both models include a 12MP ultra-wide front camera for video calls. They also feature quad speakers with four-channel spatial audio and come with an S Pen for writing, drawing and taking notes.

On the software front, the Galaxy Tab S12 series runs Android 17 with One UI 9 and includes several Galaxy AI features. Note Assist summarises notes, while Samsung Browser summarises open tabs and surfaces relevant sources. Buyers also receive a six-month trial of Google AI Pro, which provides access to Gemini.
Samsung has also included several apps for creative work and productivity. Adobe Photoshop is pre-installed for image editing, while GoodNotes offers one year of free access for digital note-taking. LumaFusion supports video editing at a discounted subscription rate, and Clip Studio Paint includes a six-month trial and a discount on the first subscription.
