Leak threatens major price hike for the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Tab S12+ in India

TheGalaxy Tab S12+andGalaxy Tab S12 Ultraare expected to be unveiled onOctober 7, though Samsung hasn’t confirmed the date yet. Obviously, the company hasn’t said anything about the prices either – that said, a leaked poster that was shared bySparrows Newsmay reveal the prices for India. For comparison, a Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Wi-Fi 12/256GB was ₹111,000 last year, the 5G 12/256GB version was ₹125,000. So if the info on this poster is true, the base cost for the Ultra model will go up significantly, while the 5G upgrade will only cost slightly more.

There was no new Plus (12.4”) model last year – the last Plus, the Tab S10+, is from 2024, so there is no direct comparison. This year we expect to see a Plus model and an Ultra (14.6”), but no vanilla model (11.0”). For one reason or another, Samsung has adopted this leapfrogging release strategy for its vanilla and Plus flagship slates. Only the Ultra tier gets refreshed every year. We’ve also seenleaked pricesfor the US too: The Tab S11 Ultra Wi-Fi 12/256GB started at $1,200, so expect a $200 price hike in the US. That’s not as bad as the 35% increase expected in India, but it’s still not great. Based onGeekbench results, the new tablets will be powered by theDimensity 9500from last year. The Galaxy Tab S12+ might get a larger battery, but the Tab S12 Ultra will keep the 11,600mAh/45W configuration of its predecessor.
