The most recent remarks from a Samsung executive confirm earlier speculations concerning the forthcoming Galaxy Tab S11 series. As reported by Android Authority, a Samsung representative from South Africa suggested that the new tablets are set to debut “shortly” after the Unpacked event, indicating a possible release in August or September. This supports earlier assumptions that the Tab S11 series will not include a Plus model but will present a standard model along with an Ultra version.
The Galaxy Tab S11 series is likely to adhere to Samsung’s customary launch schedule, although more recent models have been introduced earlier in the year. The previous iteration was launched in September, contrasting with the Galaxy Tab S9 and S8 series, which were released in August 2023 and February 2022, respectively. The report proposes a September launch for the Tab S11 unless Samsung opts for an August announcement.
Speculations suggest that the Tab S11 Ultra will be equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus SoC, providing improved performance. Nevertheless, reports indicate that the tablet achieved lower scores than smartphones in performance evaluations. It is anticipated that the Tab S11 series will reintroduce the basic model while discontinuing the Plus variant, with the Tab S11 reportedly housing an 8,160mAh battery and the Ultra model possibly featuring a larger ~11,374mAh battery.
In summary, the remarks from the Samsung executive reinforce the expected modifications and schedule for the Galaxy Tab S11 series, aligning with previous leaks and speculations.
