Samsung Reportedly Keeps Same Battery for Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra

Leaked filings indicate no battery or charging upgrade for the Ultra model, a sign Samsung may be prioritizing modest hardware updates while preparing higher prices.

Overview

  • Leaked battery details published by GalaxyClub and echoed by SamMobile and Android Headlines say the Tab S12 Ultra will use the identical battery model and capacity as the S11 Ultra, with a rated capacity of 11,374 mAh and a marketed typical capacity of 11,600 mAh.
  • The same reports say Samsung is likely to retain 45W wired USB‑C charging for the S12 Ultra rather than moving to faster wired speeds seen on a few recent phones, and those charging details remain unconfirmed by the company.
  • Other reported upgrades are incremental: a 14.6‑inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, a dual rear camera setup (13MP + 8MP), a 12MP front camera, a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 or 9500+ chipset, and base memory/storage starting at 12GB/256GB with higher tiers available.
  • Coverage frames the findings as leaks rather than official specs and notes industry expectations that Samsung could unveil the Tab S12 line later this year, possibly around the IFA trade show, with analysts warning of a likely price increase tied to larger RAM and storage options.
  • For buyers the practical effect is clear: similar battery capacity and unchanged charging speeds mean real‑world runtime and recharge times may not improve over the S11 Ultra, which could push some customers to consider older models or rival tablets if price rises materialize.
