Samsung's Next-Gen Tablets Leak on Google Play Console Ahead of H2 Launch
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next wave of high-end tablets, specifically the Galaxy Tab S12 series. The upcoming lineup will consist of two flagship tiers: the Galaxy Tab S12+ and the top-tier Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra.
The Google Play Console's supported devices list recently showed multiple regional models for both screen sizes. They clearly separate standard Wi-Fi configurations from cellular variants. For the Galaxy Tab S12+, the Wi-Fi-only model carries the codename 'gts12pwifi' and model number SM-X840, while 5G variants fall under the codename 'gts12p' with regional model designations SM-X846B, SM-X846E, SM-X846N, and the US-bound SM-X848U.
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra follows the exact same pattern across its different configurations. Its Wi-Fi version uses the codename 'gts12uwifi' and model number SM-X940, while cellular 5G builds adopt the codename 'gts12u' alongside model numbers SM-X946B and SM-X946N.
While Google's listing focuses primarily on software compatibility, early supply chain reports suggest meaningful hardware updates under the hood. Industry rumors indicate that the Tab S12 family could run on MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 9500 chip. On the hardware side, the Tab S12 Ultra is tipped to retain its massive 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel paired with an 11,600mAh battery.
The previous Tab S11 lineup debuted in September, and tech watchers expect Samsung to announce the new hardware around the same late-summer window, potentially alongside IFA in Berlin.
