Samsung readies Tab S11 lineup with Ultra slim 5.1mm chassis

Samsung is poised to expand its Android tablet line this year with three new devices—the Galaxy Tab S11, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite—after a flurry of leaks that outline a bold, high-end direction for the flagship slate and a midrange companion. Early details suggest the S11 Ultra will push the envelope on thickness and battery capacity while preserving the large 14.6-inch display, high-end performance, and S Pen integration that helped define the current generation.

The Tab S11 Ultra is described in multiple leaks as maintaining the same 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, but with a notably slimmer chassis. Reports point to an ultrathin profile around 5.1 millimeters, a design target that would place Samsung’s tablet alongside some of the thinnest premium rivals. Powering the Ultra is expected to be the latest Dimensity 9400 3nm processor, with configurations up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. Battery life is a focal point of the discussions, with hints of an 11,600mAh cell and 45W charging, aiming to sustain the device’s large, high-resolution display and productivity features.
