Samsung's Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra keeps the same 45W charging speed and 11,600mAh battery as its predecessor, the Tab S11 Ultra. The two tablets share identical IP68 ratings, thickness of 5.1mm, and weight of 692 grams, with the main difference being the S12 Ultra shipping with One UI 9.0 out of the box, an update the S11 Ultra will also receive soon.
Smartphone makers including Apple and Google caution that IP67/IP68 water-resistance ratings do not mean phones are waterproof, and that steam from hot showers or saunas can condense into liquid that seeps in through charging ports, speakers, buttons and seals. Apple's support documentation specifically advises against bringing iPhones into saunas or steam rooms, noting that liquid damage isn't covered under warranty; Google offers similar guidance and suggests using a Bluetooth speaker instead.
According to a blogger tracking Chinese social media chatter, Samsung is moving up the release of its Galaxy Z Trifold 2, seemingly in reaction to Apple's incoming iPhone Duo. The move comes despite the original trifold device's lackluster commercial performance, and the new model is expected to carry a similar price tag.
