Samsung Electronics today unveiled the Galaxy Tab S12 Series — Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Tab S12+ — delivering Samsung’s most capable and versatile tablet experience yet. Packing breakthrough performance, long-lasting battery life, and the latest Galaxy AI^[1] into Galaxy Tab’s signature ultra-thin design, the new lineup turns complex workflows into effortless, everyday achievements whether it’s mastering skills, pursuing career goals or exploring creative passions

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series features immersive displays with the included ergonomic S Pen, professional-grade apps and versatile accessories, creating a flexible workspace for effortless note-taking and precise editing. Combining portability with powerful performance, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series enables users to pursue their passions instantly, whenever inspiration strikes.

“The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is designed for people who are constantly exploring new ideas, developing new skills and bringing their ambitions to life,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built with industry-leading hardware, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series pairs an expansive screen with the power of Galaxy AI — removing friction from complex tasks so users can stay focused on achieving impactful results.”

“From professionals managing busy schedules at work and at home, to individuals building new skills and pursuing creative passions, Singaporeans are looking for technology that helps them make the most of every moment,” said Ronnie Ng, Vice President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Singapore. “The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is designed to support these evolving needs, combining powerful performance, intelligent AI experiences and exceptional portability to help users achieve more throughout their day.”

Peak Performance in an Ultra-Thin Design

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series combines powerful performance and long-lasting battery life into a thin and light design, making it easy for users to achieve more, wherever ambition takes them.

At a remarkably slim 5.1mm, Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest and yet most powerful Galaxy Tab to date. With long-lasting battery life, it supports productive work and creation throughout the day.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series comes with an expansive screen designed for viewing, creating and multitasking on a larger canvas.

• The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a large 14.6-inch display, making it easy to explore multiple perspectives and complex tasks efficiently.
• The Galaxy Tab S12+ features a larger 12.6-inch display and slimmer bezels than its predecessor, offering more screen space while maintaining portability.

Both models feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays reaching up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness^[2] — delivering brighter visuals and greater detail across a wide range of content, indoors or out. The upgraded seamless Vision Booster now adjusts brightness in real time based on lighting conditions for comfortable viewing.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is built to keep pace throughout the day. Offering up to 23 hours on Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra^[3] and up to 21 hours on Galaxy Tab S12+^[4], on a single charge. With Super Fast Charging^[5], the battery can be fully recharged in about 95 minutes with the 45W adapter, minimising downtime between tasks.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series delivers the most powerful performance of any Galaxy Tab to date, to handle complex, intensive tasks. The cutting-edge 3nm processor delivers up to 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance and 17% improved GPU power compared to Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.^[6]

A newly designed 3D Vapor Chamber efficiently dissipates heat to support more reliable performance during demanding tasks, from video editing to designing graphics for hours.^[7] Engineered for resilience, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series also comes with IP68-rated water and dust resistance^[8] to give users peace of mind.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series features 4-channel spatial audio, doubling the number of channels from the previous generation for a richer, more immersive listening experience.

Making Everyday Tasks More Intuitive and Effortless

Building on an industry-leading hardware foundation, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series turns its large screen into a flexible workspace that makes it easy to learn, create and do more, without missing a beat. Running Android 17 with One UI 9 and the latest Galaxy AI, it brings research, note-taking, creation and AI assistance together in one place, for a more effortless every day.

With Multi Window, users can split the screen into up to three sections, making it easy to move between tasks. For example, users can watch a lecture, take notes in Samsung Notes, and access an AI assistant concurrently. With the included S Pen, key points and ideas can be captured directly into notes, while Note Assist^[9] swiftly summarises^[10] – all without pausing.

For deeper research and discovery, Samsung Browser uses Galaxy AI to understand webpage content and context across multiple tabs, helping users to condense key information, and revisit past relevant sources without having to search through their browsing history manually.

A Complete Ecosystem Designed to Take Skills and Creativity Further

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series gives users access to a range of professional-grade apps^[11] and creative tools^[12], helping them to take their skills further.

• Google AI Pro^[13] with six-month free trial, providing expanded access to Google’s most capable AI models for research, content creation and learning. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring notes, images, recordings, and files together in one workspace and create summaries, podcasts, and even quizzes to aid learning.
• Adobe Photoshop^[14] comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy Tab S12 Series — a first for Android tablets — bringing pro-grade image editing and design to the tablet. The interface is optimised for tablets, and S Pen support makes it more intuitive for users to move ideas from hand to screen. Photoshop includes AI-powered features such as AI Assistant^[15] and generative AI features powered by Adobe Firefly like Generative Fill and Image to Video, allowing creatives to edit faster and effortlessly. Exclusively for the Galaxy Tab S12 Series, users receive four months of free access to the Photoshop premium mobile plan.
• Notability^[16], newly pre-loaded on Galaxy Tab, helps users capture their ideas, organise notes and build knowledge more efficiently with S Pen optimisation and AI-driven study tools. Users get a six-month free trial, plus 20% off the first subscription.

In addition to these apps, users can explore a broader range of options that support different needs –

• Noteshelf 3^[21] offers customisable layouts for capturing and organising ideas, while
• ArcSite^[22] converts rough field sketches into precise CAD drawings.

To complement the tablet experience, the Pro Keyboard features a premium aluminum finish and a Galaxy AI Key that enables instant access to AI assistants, while the Book Cover Keyboard Slim delivers flexibility with comfortable viewing angles and effortless typing experience.^[23]

Built for lasting and confident use, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series supports up to seven OS upgrades and security updates.^[24]

For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+^[25] offers comprehensive coverage tailored to users’ device needs, including fast repairs for accidental damage, extended warranty, and certified expert support available both at home and abroad.  Additionally, Galaxy mobile phone users running One UI 9 can easily check the Samsung Care+ status of their Galaxy Tab and enroll through the Warranty and care menu in the Settings menu.

• Users note that with the upgraded Smart Switch, transferring data and information over to the new Galaxy device is now easier and more seamless than ever.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 brings together powerful performance and intelligent experiences in a fresh form factor that adapts to the way people work, create and stay connected. Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, tech creators have been putting the device to the test, trying out their favourite apps on the expansive display, exploring Galaxy AI features, and discovering just how easy it is to make the switch to a new Galaxy device.

Watch them share their experiences below.

Slim and Sleek: The Lightest Galaxy Z Fold Yet 

At only 201g, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is incredibly lightweight and reviewers across the region have been impressed by its slim profile.

Davis Fang Tech from Australia highlights the portability of the device, noting that it fits perfectly in a pocket when folded and is also extremely light at just 201g.

Durability: Built for Everyday Confidence

Samsung’s new Flex Titanium technology helps support a slimmer display structure with long-term durability and reduced crease visibility over time.

YugaTech from the Philippines shares more about device’s sturdy hinges. Thin but strong, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is engineered to withstand the demands of daily use while maintaining the flexibility users expect from a foldable device.

Galaxy AI: AI Experiences Optimised for the Foldable Form Factor

Equipped with Galaxy AI, the Galaxy Z Fold8 brings AI assistance to everyday tasks. From productivity and content creation, to communication and search, Galaxy AI helps users get more done while taking full advantage of the foldable form factor.

By combining Now Nudge’s intelligent recognition with the productivity of Galaxy Z devices, users get a seamless agentic AI experience that helps you get more done! What do you think? #GalaxyUnpacked #Samsung #GalaxyZFold8 #galaxyzfold8ultra ♬ original sound – TechNave

@TechNave from Malaysia shows how Now Nudge is even more useful on the Galaxy Fold8’s large display. By recognising what is shown on the screen and suggesting relevant next steps in a side-by-side view, Now Nudge helps users continue what they are doing without interruption. When planning a meet-up with friends, for example, users can check on their schedule or save a location while keeping the conversation screen open.

Built for Discovery – A Display Optimised for Content Consumption

The Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios are designed around the way people consume content throughout the day. Whether it’s streaming videos, scrolling through social media, or reading e-books, the expansive display adapts to different types of content for a more natural and immersive viewing experience.

Bobby Tonelli from Singapore demonstrates how the Galaxy Z Fold8’s display is perfect for anything–from watching videos and enjoying movies, to comfortably reading e-books.

Smart Switch: Moving to Galaxy Made Easy

Whether upgrading from another Galaxy device or switching from a different brand, Smart Switch helps users conveniently transfer photos, contacts, messages, settings and more, making it easier to start using the Galaxy Z Fold8 from day one.

Bestindotech from Indonesia shows just how simple it is to wirelessly set up the new device – less manual effort required and no need for any additional apps. With the updated Smart Switch, users can scan a QR code and transfer data wirelessly — including passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM data — without downloading additional apps.

Following its debut on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8, One UI 9 brings an easier, more seamless mobile experience across form factors, as well as enhanced Galaxy AI that is richer, more personal, and more helpful.

New Features Help Users Capture, Personalise, and Manage

One UI 9 introduces new ways to keep people in focus, tailor the information users see each day, and manage device care more easily.

• My FanCam^[2] automatically tracks a selected person in a recorded video and keeps them centred, intelligently reframing the footage as the scene moves. This allows users to turn dynamic moments into social-ready content with less manual editing. Whether it’s a child’s performance, a friend on the dance floor, or an exciting moment during a sporting event, users can instantly put the focus on the person they want to see.

• The new Generative and Editable Cards on Now Brief^[3] help users choose what appears in their daily summaries. Users can create cards across health, weather, and video so their daily brief reflects the information most relevant to them.
• Warranty and Care^[4] brings device support and protection directly into the Settings menu. Users can now check warranty coverage across connected mobile devices, run self-diagnostics, view repair estimates, and manage Samsung Care+ or book a service appointment with just a few taps.

Enhanced Capabilities Help Users Do More With Less Effort

One UI 9 builds on familiar Galaxy experiences to help users complete everyday tasks in fewer steps, with context-aware suggestions, timely creative prompts, and improvements to translation, scanning, and recording.

• Now Nudge^[5] can surface timely, context-aware suggestions across more moments in the Galaxy experience, helping users take the next step without breaking their flow. For example, when making plans over text, users can pull up reservation details or save a shared location without leaving the conversation.
• Creative Studio now suggests image-generation ideas based on relevant upcoming events. For example, when a friend’s birthday is approaching, users may see a prompt to create a themed image or greeting, allowing them to quickly create something meaningful for the occasion.
• Interpreter^[6] introduces a new Thread View that enables users to better follow translated conversations by quickly referencing earlier exchanges. In addition, faster translation in Conversation Mode and quicker playback with compatible Galaxy Buds help reduce delays, making conversations feel more natural and continuous.
• Document Scan now allows users to digitise challenging materials such as curved book pages and corner-folded papers with less manual adjustment. The large-screen-optimised views on compatible Galaxy devices, along with an improved Finger Eraser, help create cleaner and more usable scans.
• Voice Recorder presents summaries in a clearer, more structured format, using elements such as headings and tables to make key information easier to scan at a glance.

Enhanced Security and Privacy Help Users Stay Informed and in Control

One UI 9 continues Samsung’s approach to security and privacy with transparency, choice, and control built into the experience. The latest updates help users better understand when something may need their attention and make it easier to take action.

• Security Brief brings key security and privacy updates like alerts for malware, apps from unknown sources, and unnecessary permissions to Now Brief, helping users identify potential issues earlier and determine when action is necessary.
• Privacy Alerts^[7] use on-device AI to identify potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access permissions in the background, giving users greater awareness of how their information is being accessed.
• Scam Detection^[8] expands to additional countries^[9] and languages, bringing protection against potential scam calls to more Galaxy users across supported markets.

_{^[1] As of the publication of this press release, the official One UI 9 has been rolled out to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8. The update is expected to gradually roll out to other Galaxy devices.}

Built around what users value most in a slim design, Galaxy S26 FE carries the iconic Galaxy S experience forward.

“Galaxy S26 FE is a purposefully designed to deliver the signature strengths of Galaxy S, ensuring every feature makes a meaningful difference in users’ daily lives,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Packed with the beloved Galaxy camera and AI experiences, backed by the latest One UI 9, Galaxy S26 FE comes to life as an ideal choice for those who know exactly what matters most to them.”

“With each Galaxy launch, Samsung’s goal is to deliver meaningful innovation that aligns with Singaporeans’ everyday priorities,” said Ronnie Ng, Vice President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Singapore. “The Galaxy S26 FE reflects our commitment to accessibility by delivering premium flagship experiences our customers love at exceptional value.”

Sharper Capture, Effortless Editing

Galaxy S26 FE delivers a more capable camera experience from capture to edit, with an enhanced triple rear camera and advanced image processing that help users capture and refine the moments that matter – whether shooting still scenes or fast-moving action.

• My FanCam^[1], first introduced on the latest Galaxy Foldables, is now available on Galaxy S26 FE. It automatically tracks a selected subject and keeps it centred, intelligently reframing video as the scene moves – so users can turn dynamic moments into social-ready content with less manual editing.
• For video, Super Steady^[2] with Horizontal Lock – a favourite among Galaxy S26 Series users – helps capture smoother, more level footage while filming fast-moving activities, travel moments and everyday scenes on the go.
• Galaxy S26 FE supports 3x optical zoom, giving users more confidence when shooting from a distance. For selfies, an enhanced 12MP front camera^[3] captures more in every frame, making group shots easier to take.
• Nightography^[4], a signature of the Galaxy S Series, helps users capture bright and clear shots in low light, with detail preserved even in the most challenging scenes.
• Even after the moment has passed, Photo Assist^[5] makes it easier to refine images using natural language prompts, from adjusting lighting to adding new elements and restoring missing parts. Plus, edits can be reviewed step by step and revised or undone along the way.
• With Gemini Omni^[6], users can effortlessly turn photos and video clips from their Gallery into polished videos that are ready to share and packed with creative music, transitions and effects.

Galaxy AI, Always One Step Ahead

Powered by the latest One UI 9, Galaxy S26 FE brings a range of intuitive, context-aware Galaxy AI^[7] experiences that make daily life easier – adapting to users’ routines to keep them informed and organised, while handling everyday tasks faster and more seamlessly on their behalf.

• Updated Now Brief^[8], first introduced on the Galaxy S25 Series, is even more personalised through customisable briefing cards like weather and wellness insights. Users can now create their own Custom Cards with a simple prompt, making Now Brief more relevant throughout the day.
• With the help of Gemini, Galaxy S26 FE automates multi-step tasks^[9] with a single request, reducing friction and saving time. By understanding context, it works seamlessly on users’ behalf – enabling them to search, create, organise and communicate more effortlessly throughout the day.
• Circle to Search with Google^[10] and Gemini Live^[11] now allow users to search for multiple items in an image at once, making it easier to identify products, places, objects or ideas in a single step.

Built to Keep Up with Your Day

Galaxy S26 FE brings meaningful upgrades to the everyday essentials users rely on most – including a long-lasting battery and a bright display built for work, entertainment and creativity from morning to night.

• A long-lasting 4,900mAh battery^[12] keeps users going while maintaining the slim and refined design of the Galaxy S26 line-up. With 45W fast charging^[13], users can power up quickly and stay connected for longer.
• A 7-inch^[14] AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate provides smooth, immersive visuals with enhanced brightness, resolution and clarity for streaming, gaming, browsing and creative work.

Users who purchase the Galaxy S26 FE as their next device will feel the power of Galaxy with:

• Upgraded Smart Switch^[15], which makes moving to Galaxy easier than ever. Whether switching from an Android or iOS device, users can scan a QR code to wirelessly transfer data – from passwords and passkeys to call history, accessibility settings and eSIM data – with no extra apps and less setup time.
• Galaxy S26 FE is built to last, with seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates^[16] – so users can enjoy the latest features with confidence for years to come.
• For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+^[17] offers comprehensive coverage optimised to users’ needs, including tailored benefits that protect the value of the device.
• A 6-month free trial of Google AI Pro will bring expanded AI capabilities and 5TB of cloud storage valued at $19.99 USD per month.

Together, these enhancements deliver the Galaxy experiences users rely on every day in one thoughtfully crafted device.

Smart Switch is Samsung’s data transfer app^[1] that allows users to move contacts, photos, videos, messages, apps, settings and more from an Android or iOS device to a new Galaxy device. With One UI 9 on the new eighth-generation Galaxy Z series, Smart Switch makes switching devices easier and more seamless than before. Quick Share has also been enhanced, making it easier to share files with friends, family and colleagues using different platforms.

Start Switching With Just a QR Code

With One UI 9, users no longer need to install the Smart Switch app separately on their iOS device. By simply scanning the QR code displayed on their new Galaxy, they can start transferring data through Smart Switch.

The updated Smart Switch also makes it easier to connect wirelessly. The two devices can connect without users needing to find the right cable or adapter before getting their new phone set up.

Bring More of Your Phone With You

With One UI 9, Smart Switch has expanded the types of data that can move from iOS devices to Galaxy. In addition to previously supported data such as photos, messages, contacts, calendars and apps, users can also transfer passwords and passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM information.

These may be less visible than a photo library, but they can make a big difference to how quickly a new device feels ready to use. A saved password means one less account to set up again. Bringing over accessibility settings can reduce the need to recreate a personalized experience. eSIM information can also be transferred, making it easier to continue using an existing mobile setup.

Make Galaxy Feel More Familiar

Whether switching to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 or Z Flip8, users can make their new device feel familiar from the start. Beyond transferring data, they can adjust key settings such as Swipe gestures and Home screen layout to suit the way they use their phone. With the UI customization app Good Lock, users can also personalize the Home screen, app switching and more, giving them greater freedom to use Galaxy in the way that works best for them.

For those switching from iOS to Galaxy, these options can help recreate familiar ways of navigating and organizing their previous smartphone, reducing the adjustment that can come with moving to a new environment. This helps users settle into their new Galaxy more comfortably and naturally from the start.

Keep Sharing After the Switch

Changing smartphones does not mean everyone around a user changes theirs too.

Friends, family and colleagues may continue using different devices, which makes cross-platform sharing an important part of the experience long after setup is finished. Devices running One UI 9 and One UI 8.5 can benefit from an enhanced cross-device sharing experience^[2] with Quick Share. With AirDrop compatibility, Quick Share makes it easier to share files between Galaxy and iOS devices.

Choosing a new smartphone should come down to the experience people want next. By simplifying how the switch begins, expanding what can move across and making it easier to keep sharing afterward, Samsung is reducing more of the practical barriers between smartphone ecosystems.

The result is a simpler way to move to Galaxy, while bringing more of what already matters along for the journey.

_{^[1] Transferable data may vary depending on the device OS (Android or iOS), OS version and connection method. Data transfer from an iOS device to a Galaxy device using the upgraded method is available on devices running Android 17 or later and iOS 26.6 or later in regions outside mainland China}

_{^[2] The “Share with iOS devices” feature is currently supported first on select flagship models, including the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8 and Galaxy S26, with support planned to expand to more models in the future.}
