Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra review | Infinium-tech

Introduction

The Galaxy Tab S11 flagship series premiered at IFA in Berlin this year and is available in two sizes – the 11″ Tab S11 and the 14.6″ Tab S11 Ultra. Today, we’ll explore the biggest of these tablets, Samsung’s most premium tablet – the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.

Thin and powerful best describes the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The new model is even thinner and lighter than the Tab S10 Ultra, but it has one of the best Android chips on the market and one of the biggest batteries.

As before, the Tab S11 Ultra revolves around a gorgeous 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support, and the entire slate is still wrapped in Advanced Armor aluminum. The S11 Ultra is also drop, dust, and water resistant with an IP68 rating, which isn’t often seen on tablets.

The most notable upgrade is the Dimensity 9400+ chip, which sits above the 9300+ model inside the Tab S10 Ultra. It is one of the fastest chipset platforms right now while the Dimensity 9500 is still not out in the market. The tablet’s memory configurations still range from 12GB/256GB to 16GB/1TB.

There is no change in the connectivity department – ​​optional 5G SIM support, Wi-Fi 7, GPS, USB-C 3.2. The tablet now has a slightly larger battery with an 11,600mAh capacity and supports up to 45W fast charging.

There are two cameras on the back – a 13MP primary and an 8MP ultrawide shooter, still no change from last year. But there’s now only one front camera – a 12MP ultrawide, making it one camera less than the Tab S10 Ultra, and the notch has accordingly shrunk to a more acceptable level.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra comes with Android 16 and One UI 8, with support for Google AI and various S-Pen features.
