Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra

Ranked #6 in Tablets
452 LP on the category ladder what's LP?
Announced September 2025 by Samsung

A trap only in the sense that it is outclassed by its own successor: it remains a seven-year-support flagship with a superb panel, but the S12 Ultra is the same commitment with a better tablet. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra instead.

    Flagged 17 October 2026
  2. The superseded Android flagship: Samsung's own S12 Ultra has replaced it at the top of the range, and paying outgoing-Ultra money makes no sense when the S12+ exists and the OnePlus Pad 3 undercuts the whole Ultra line. Only makes sense at a deep discount.

    Flagged 17 October 2026
  3. Its own successor, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, has replaced it with the Dimensity 9500 and better battery life, so buying it today means paying flagship money for superseded hardware.

    Flagged 17 October 2026
  4. The clearest Android example of paying for the badge: the Galaxy Tab S11 carries the same platform for far less, and the OnePlus Pad 3 delivers most of the experience for roughly half the money.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra delivers ample power for demanding apps and battery life that outlasts both the prior generation and top rivals. The S Pen works well for notes and sketches, and Samsung’s software extras turn the tablet into a credible laptop replacement with DeX and split-screen multitasking. The camera remains basic compared with phones, and the tablet can feel big and heavy to carry around and use, but those are small trade-offs for the incredible display, performance, and productivity capabilities you get. If you're looking for a large Android tablet that doubles as a work and creative machine, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra earns our Editors' Choice award.

The Tab S10 Plus and S10 Ultra set new standards for performance on Android tablets, and the S11 Ultra and S11 don't disappoint on this front. Both share the same MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, with a single high-performance ARM Cortex-X925 core running at up to 3620MHz, three Cortext-X4 cores running at 3300Mhz and 4 energy-efficient Cortex A720 cores running at 2400MHz. There's an ARM Mali-G925 Immortalis MP12 GPU running at 3620MHz, and the only real difference between the two tablets is that the S11 Ultra has either 12GB or 16GB of RAM , while the S11 has 12GB across its 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB variants.

And this Ultra Tab is actually pretty lightweight and thin considering how large it is. So, switch over to pounds here, just under 3 lb with this whole entire package. I'll take a quick physical tour before we plug this in here. We have our pogo connector pins on the back of this. You can see here with the Tab S11 Ultra, we have those pins there on the rear of the tablet.

It's a big behemoth that is unwieldy to use in the hand, even if it is very thin, but put it on a tablet stand and you'll appreciate the size. I worked off it with Samsung's DeX desktop mode paired with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with two Chrome windows split side by side, and it felt very close to my standard workflow on a PC.

Now, if you currently own a Tab S9 or 10 Ultra and you frequently use it outside on bright days and you feel like you don't quite get enough battery life throughout your day, or you play some really graphically intensive games, edit videos on your tablet, or watch a lot of high dynamic range content, then yes, I think the Tab S11 Ultra would absolutely be worth the upgrade in those situations, especially with the current trade-in deals. But if you primarily use your tablet for productivity work, social media, web browsing, and maybe some light gaming, then no, the Tabis 11 Ultra won't make much of a difference for you, and you're better off just saving your money

Overheating while charging is a common complaint with the Tab S11 Ultra, and there are a few known reasons for it. First, use a wall outlet directly. Avoid power strips, extension cords, or surge protectors, they can introduce voltage irregularities that make the charging circuit work harder and generate extra heat.

The Tab S11 Ultra’s considerably longer battery life may appeal to some, but if your tablet is used mostly at home and near a charger, it may not impact use all that much. To get the longer battery life and even bigger screen, you’ll have to pay an additional $400, and I’m not seeing that amount in value yet.

The nice thing is you don't have to charge it anymore. The bad thing is it doesn't have the Bluetooth function like the previous S Pen to use as a remote for taking photos, that kind of thing. So, it only attaches there on the side now instead of on the back since you don't need to charge it.
