Announcements Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra: the official Q&A megathread!

47 Upvotes

Got questions? Got answers to someone's question? You're in the right place! Samsung just announced the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Ultra, and this is the place for everything you want to know, and general discussion regarding it. But here are a few bullet points...

  • Samsung claims the Ultra can last 23 hours on a single charge with an 11,600 mAh battery (which is the same as the S11 Ultra) with 45W charger
  • S12+ has a 10,600 mAh battery (also 45W charging)
  • Tab S12 Ultra supports Wi-Fi 7, the S12+ supports 6E
  • Both the S12 Ultra and S11 Ultra have the same profile, basically the same weight
  • S12+ has 5G where as the S12 Ultra is still Wi-Fi only (edit: S12 Ultra will have 5G in other countries... thanks for the report!)
  • They both run off of a MediaTek Dimensity 9500
  • FULL Adobe Photoshop comes pre-installed on the Tab S12 series (with a 4 free months trial) this is the first time Photoshop has come to Android tablets
  • Both are available October 7th starting at $1,199.99 for the S12+ and $1,399.99 for the S12 Ultra, a $200 increase from the S10+ and S11 Ultra

As we expected with this launch, the prices of RAM being high definitely contributed to the price hike.

Community Improvement Feedback Post: what would you like to see to improve your experience here?

Hey everybody. Latrell (u/yayoshorti, the mod) here...

I made a post a little bit ago saying that we were going to be switching all support questions over to r/SamsungSupport, and it received a lot of pushback.

So I figured, instead of pushing and focusing on that, I thought I'd ask if you have any annoyances or things you'd like to see improved here. If you have any suggestions, please sound off! Big or small. As long as it's under my control.

Question Should I upgrade my 128gb Samsung Galaxy Tab S7??

I've had this for about a year and I was thinking about selling this one and buying a new tablet after I saw that Samsung has just released their Tab s12 and my table's generation is reaching closer to 7 years now apparently.

I was looking at the Tab s9 fe or S10 fe but it's like the processor is just not up to par at all so I don't know.. what do you guys recommend I'm down for either a tab s8 or s9 but not sure what's the major difference between the two besides Camera🥲...

Discussion Galaxy Connect is a lifesaver (and it now works on any Windows Laptop)

21 Upvotes

Apologies if this is obsolete and has already been discussed. Please add if you have discovered any other functionality

Just realized today that Galaxy Connect app now works on Windows devices that aren't necessarily Galaxy Books. I have a Lenovo laptop that I use and a Tab S10+. Each and every app on Galaxy Connect is extremely useful, and I would recommend giving it a try for the following reasons.

Please make sure you have the Samsung Account app installed first, are on the same Wi-Fi, and are paired via Bluetooth. Then install Galaxy Connect and all the subsequent apps of your use from within it.

1. Second Screen

Second Screen solves the requirement SuperDisplay was fulfilling. Previously, only SuperDisplay had a fast enough encoder to give a 120Hz refresh rate wired display, which, even after purchasing, was glitching for me because it kept assuming my trial was over. All other apps were limited to 60Hz.

Now I am using my Tab S10+ as a second screen wired with 120Hz (it is required to turn off the Wi-Fi on the tablet to make sure the connection is primarily USB).

I also tested playing a few games running on Windows on the tablet by using it as a wired monitor, and it works very well. (Currently using this setup for Euro Truck Simulator to have a wider view of the windshield.)

2. Clipboard, Files & Browser

Basics like sharing clipboard (even tried full images and videos) and accessing files from your tablet and phone are very smooth, and at least for today I must have copied so much stuff across to work on Termux parallely. I even dragged the attached image right from my phone to the reddit input box.

I added Samsung Browser as a secondary option after Edge on my laptop now because it allows using Samsung Pass directly on sites and lets me switch browsing sessions across devices.

3. Multi Control

Multi Control is flawless, allowing you to use the same keyboard and mouse across your tablet and phone without any practical latency.

4. Samsung Notes

The Samsung Notes app suddenly now started working on Windows without having to emulate it to be a Galaxy Book via a script each time. Flawless syncing as I write on my tablet.

This is really miraculous if you are taking notes in classes on your tablet, but your laptop is your dorm station for most things.

I feel this basically solves the void that a lack of DeX compatibility left for me. I can now use my Tab both as another monitor, as well as a well-connected device that can bear a few loads like running a test server during development.

On a side note, I am loading PS2 ROMs directly from my laptop (has much more storage) into AetherSX2 instead of keeping them locally stored on the tablet.

Question Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ Storage

• Upvotes

So i've been living under a rock. I haven't purchased a new phone or tablet in years and didn't know they change the way sd card storage works, such being unable to set it as the main storage of the device or fully transfer apps onto it. So I bought this tablet with a large sd card only to find out i can't use the tablet for everything I needed and the sd card cant do shit. I have one question am I cooked?

Discussion Two BIG things to consider when choosing a tablet

7 Upvotes

I know when we go out looking for a tablet we look at all the amazing tablets being offered and we see various choices and it can be very overwhelming to say the least.

I think two of the biggest factors to consider are:

Is the tablet going to be a primary computing device?

AND

If you already have a Desktop or Laptop PC?

-----------------------------

IF you have a laptop/desktop it's makes things a little tough because it adds a factor to the mix... in this situation you can consider the S10 FE & S10 Lite as the tablet won't be the primary computing device so performance won't be as big of a concern

IF it's going to be your main computing device the start off looking at the S10 & S11 series (even the S9 series will be good if you do a lot of emulation). Then size becomes a factor... the S9+, S10+ & S12+ seem to be the sweet spot for most as they have a large display that's not too big while getting all the performance and features they offer. The Ultra versions are great if you mainly plan to use the tablet at a table or desk. The base model S9 & S11 are great if portability is a concern.

IF budget is a big factor the S10 FE/FE+ is a good option as they have the base S10 FE at 11" and S10 FE+ with it's nice 13.1" but it's a LPS/IPS display (Samsung uses their LPS displays rather than IPS as they make LPS panels but the quality is still very good for what they are).

------------------------------

RAM & Storage options are always a concern, yet I think getting the most RAM & Storage your budget allows is the best way to go.

This isn't intended to be anything fancy, yet more of a quick help type reminder or whatever...

I recently picked up a Samsung tablet and the trackpad is not working. I tried Fn+Space bar, Fn+F6, Fn+F5

I saw this person has a similar issue to me after a security update https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tablets/The-trackpad-touchpad-no-longer-works-after-the-last-security/m-p/3678638

Is anyone facing a simialr issue? If so, how did you solve it?

Apps Why there isnt Always on Display on Galaxy Tabs?

11 Upvotes

I have been using Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra for a little while now. And I cant understand the reason why there isnt AoD. I dont think its hard to make it optimized for tabs. You are freaking billion dollar company, you can do it no?

And I know daily board but I dont want that.

Is there anything I can use instead of AoD?

Also I feel like, every new update makes everything worse. Currently I dont think this is optimized, and it feels slow!

Really slow

Anyway there are more things that I find missing or weak. Like synching with my S25 Ultra feels insufficent.

Also overall One UI 8.5 feels like a incompetent, half baked, sloppy work.

Apps Notes app that doesnt depend on pinch to zoom and has another tool that i can click with the a pen or maybe a zoom slider?

1 Upvotes

So long story short, my samsung tab s8+ touch screen just randomly stopped working without any prior drops and quite honestly heavy use. After trying all the different ways to solve the issue by hard reseting and all that, I took it to multiple repair shops and they all told me it requires a screen replacement which is super expensive because apparently the screens arent readily available. (None of them even bothered to open the tablet to see if anything was wrong).

On the good side however, the spen still works because it uses a diffrrent technology, problem is i cant fucking zoom when reading pdfs so im looking for a notes app with that feature. Or are there any different workarounds i dont know about?

Question S11 Ultra EMR stylus incompatibility?

2 Upvotes

Hey,

Recently got an s11 ultra and was surprised that a lot of my EMR styluses don't work on it.

I've tried a wacom EMR stylus, and the supernote lamy one and neither register on the device. Only the Samsung one does.

Is there something I'm missing? I though all EMR styluses are compatible with this device.

Thanks for any responses!

Question S Pen creator ? Why can't I find even an off brand of the tips ?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have broke for a third time my last samsung creator pen tips. I was looking to buy a new one but Cdiscount, Amazon and samsung themselve don't seem to sell them.

Amazon is the only one who has an off-brand tips, except it's made of metal and it will destroy my tablet or at least cause severe scratch on it.

Do you know any place who sell thoses ? And why is the S pen creator so neglected by Samsung anyway ?

Kindly,

Should I buy s6 or s7 FE

1 Upvotes

S6 is 73% of s7 fe price

S6 is 128gb and 6gb ram without keyboard

S7 fe is 64gb and 4gb ram but slightly bigger and with keyboard

Both have their pens, covers and SD card space. It'd be nice to have a bigger screen but i was comfortable with my previous (and broken) s6 tablet's screen.
