Samsung Introduces Galaxy Tab S12 Series For Enhanced Productivity And Business Growth

Samsung Electronics has introduced the Galaxy Tab S12 series in Nigeria, made up of the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and the Galaxy Tab S12+. The company calls them its most capable tablets to date. Both pair a thin build with longer battery life, a faster processor and the latest Galaxy AI features, and are pitched at users who want one device for study, career work and creative projects.

Both models ship with an S Pen and a display built for note-taking and precise editing. Samsung says the lineup is designed for people who want professional-grade tools in a portable form.

Lucas Lee, CEO of Samsung Electronics West Africa, said in the announcement that the series was built for purpose-driven individuals who want tablets that match their ambition.

Thin build, longer battery life

At 5.1mm, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is the thinnest tablet in the Galaxy Tab line. Samsung also says it is the most powerful Galaxy Tab so far. As an example of daily use, the company describes someone taking an online course alongside a full-time job who follows a lesson on the commute, then works through exercises on the larger screen at a café or library.

On a single charge, the Tab S12 Ultra lasts up to 23 hours and the Tab S12+ up to 21 hours. With the 45W adapter, either tablet charges from 0% to 100% in about 95 minutes.

Performance and durability

Both tablets run on a 3nm processor. Compared with the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, Samsung says it delivers up to 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance and 17% better GPU power. The company says this keeps the tablet responsive during demanding work, such as rendering a complex creative project or watching a lecture while taking notes and querying an AI assistant.

A redesigned 3D Vapor Chamber dissipates heat so performance holds up during long video-editing or graphic-design sessions. Both models also carry an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.

Displays and audio

The Tab S12 Ultra has a 14.6-inch display. The Tab S12+ has a 12.6-inch screen with slimmer bezels than its predecessor, giving more screen space without costing portability. Both use Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels that reach up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness for use indoors or outdoors. An upgraded Vision Booster adjusts brightness in real time to match the lighting around the user.

Audio moves to 4-channel spatial sound, twice the channel count of the previous generation. Samsung says this suits streaming, tutorials and editing.

One UI 9, Galaxy AI and multitasking

The tablets run Android 17 with One UI 9 and the latest Galaxy AI. Multi Window can split the screen into up to three sections. A user could, for instance, play a lecture on one side, keep an AI assistant open, and take notes in Samsung Notes with the S Pen. Note Assist then summarizes those notes without the lecture being paused.

The optional Book Cover Keyboard Slim suits a more structured, desk-style setup, with comfortable viewing angles and an easy typing feel.

Each tablet comes with a six-month trial of Google AI Pro, which gives wider access to Google’s most capable AI models. Users can put questions to Gemini as they come up. Gemini Notebook brings notes, images, recordings and files into one workspace and can generate summaries, podcasts and quizzes from them.

Its AI features include an AI Assistant and Adobe Firefly-powered tools such as Generative Fill and Image to Video. Buyers of the series get four months of free access to the Photoshop mobile plan.

Availability, updates and Samsung Care+

The Galaxy Tab S12 series is available from October 14 at Samsung Experience Stores, authorized dealers and partner retailers nationwide, in Gray and Silver. Both models support up to seven OS upgrades and security updates.
