TL;DR Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Tab S11 and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
The Galaxy Tab S11 replaces the Plus model in a more compact form but with similar power to the Ultra.
The Ultra has a massive 14.6-inch display and is both thinner and lighter than last year’s model.
Samsung is refreshing its flagship Android tablet lineup today with the introduction of the new Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra. These tablets come with incremental changes over the previous Galaxy Tab S10 series, and we’ll walk you through all of those.
Let’s start with the immediately apparent change: the naming. With this launch, Samsung is eliminating the Plus variant — for now, at least — and reviving the standard Galaxy Tab S11, which features a smaller 10.9-inch AMOLED screen with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. A similar lineup rejig is expected of the Galaxy S26 series, where Samsung is likely to eliminate the Galaxy S26 Plus and rename the base Galaxy S26 to S26 Pro.

The enormous Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra arrives alongside the smaller Galaxy Tab S11. The Ultra still features the massive 14.6-inch AMOLED, but Samsung is scaling back to a single front-facing camera, resulting in a smaller notch. This allows it to claim a few micrometers of screen real estate, along with the opportunity to label it the biggest screen on a Galaxy Tab ever. Despite the reclaimed space, the screen’s resolution remains unchanged at 2960 x 1848 pixels.
The displays on both screens feature 120Hz refresh rates with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The Ultra also receives an anti-reflective coating, as it did last year, while the base variant comes with standard reflective glass, but you can preserve it with an official anti-reflective screen protector.
