First real look at the Galaxy Tab S12+ is out. The tablet has surfaced on Safety Korea’s certification database with a photo attached, and from the front it’s basically a Tab S11+ – symmetrical build, equal bezels all round. Samsung clearly isn’t touching a design that works.
The image settles one debate though. Earlier reports claimed the S12 series would move the selfie camera into a punch-hole, but it’s sitting in the top bezel, same as every Tab before it. If Samsung tries a punch-hole at all this generation, the Ultra gets it.
What the paperwork shows so far:
- SM-X840 – Wi-Fi model, listed on both Safety Korea and India’s BIS.
- SM-X846N – Korean 5G variant.
- SM-X846B – Indian 5G variant, cleared through BIS.
- No specs in either filing, certifications rarely give those up.
The India listing matters because it means the global rollout machinery is already moving, this isn’t a Korea-only test run. Previous reports point to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 running both the S12+ and S12 Ultra, worth watching given this line’s Snapdragon history.
Launch-wise everything points to September, likely sharing a stage with the Galaxy S26 FE. Certification tends to land a few months ahead of shelves, and the filings are stacking up fast now. Spec leaks should start within weeks.
