Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra hands-on: Really thin, redesigned S Pen and... remember Dex?
Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S11 series, featuring an 11-inch model and a more impressive 14.6-inch Ultra model. The Ultra boasts a thin design, new Dex multitasking features, and AI tools. A redesigned S Pen stylus is included, offering a more pencil-like grip but lacking Bluetooth functionality. New keyboard covers are needed due to repositioned pogo pins, with the Pro keyboard delayed for launch. Improved Dex mode offers extended display capabilities and customizable workspaces, surpassing iPad functionality. The Ultra's large AMOLED display features a high refresh rate and brightness, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor. AI tools like Writing Assist and Gemini Live integration enhance productivity. The Tab S11 Ultra is impressively thin and light, despite its large screen and IP68 rating. While battery life wasn't tested, Samsung claims approximately 13 hours of usage. Despite its appeal, the reviewer's existing devices make the tablet unnecessary for personal use, although it’s a strong contender for those seeking a premium Android tablet experience.
