Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is big, heavy, and expensive, but it also has the most impressive display of any Android tablet available today. Movies and games look incredible on the 14.6-inch AMOLED panel, and paired with fast performance and long battery life, the Tab S11 Ultra is about as high-end as it gets. So long as you have deep pockets and don't mind its gargantuan size, it's a really compelling package.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is an incredibly impractical tablet. It’s too big to comfortably hold, is outrageously expensive, and isn’t a good value when put next to its many Android tablet competitors.

And even so, I’ve still thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the fourth installment in Samsung’s “Ultra” tablet ranks, and as a media consumption device, it’s basically perfect. With a stunning 14.6-inch AMOLED display, great speakers, and plenty of processing power and battery life, it’s a truly indulgent tablet. When you’re watching a movie or playing a game, the experience on the Tab S11 Ultra is magical.

But is it an experience worth $1,200? While it probably won’t be for most people, for anyone willing to drop that kind of cash on an ultra-premium Android tablet, I can’t think of anything better than the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. That is, so long as you can wrangle it.

At 14.6 inches and with a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio, using the Tab S11 Ultra really does feel like using a miniature TV. This was also true of Samsung’s previous Ultra tablets, and it’s still just as impressive on this year’s model.

Going into this review, I wasn’t sure how I would get along with a tablet this big. If anything, I was worried it would annoy me. However, after taking the Tab S11 Ultra with me on a two-week vacation to Italy, it clicked.

The display makes the Tab S11 Ultra's price tag worth it.
