Samsung's Upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra Leaks in CAD Renders, Retaining Controversial Screen Notch and Familiar Design

A fresh wave of high-resolution CAD renders has given tech enthusiasts their first clear look at Samsung’s next-generation flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, ahead of its expected autumn debut. Published by reliable industry insider OnLeaks, the leaked blueprints reveal that the tech giant is choosing a highly conservative evolutionary path rather than a radical design overhaul. Visually, the premium slate is practically identical to its predecessor, maintaining exactly the same ultra-slim dimensions at 326.34 x 208.46 x 5.12mm. Crucially, the leak puts an end to previous rumors of a transition to a punch-hole selfie camera, confirming instead that the massive 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display will continue to house its front-facing lens inside a small, semi-circular screen notch.

Under the hood, however, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra gets a significant performance injection. The tablet is confirmed to transition to MediaTek’s cutting-edge 4nm Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with storage configurations ranging up to 1TB and a maximum of 16GB of RAM. This silicon upgrade promises a substantial boost in daily processing speeds and multi-window multitasking efficiency. On the other hand, the hardware architecture surrounding the power department remains untouched, with Samsung opting to retain the exact same 11,600mAh battery capacity paired with standard 45-watt fast charging capabilities. The rear design is equally familiar, showcasing individual lens rings for the dual-camera array, a dedicated magnetic strip to store and charge the accompanying S Pen, and localized pogo pins to dock keyboard cases. Running on Android 17-based One UI 9.0 out of the box with an extensive multi-year software update guarantee, the upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra focuses heavily on refining internal hardware while maintaining its premium, ultra-thin industrial silhouette.
