What are the features of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Tab S11?

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11 offer features for a range of different needs. Whether you’re looking for a compact and portable tablet or a larger screen for more immersive experiences, both models provide cutting-edge AI features, high-quality displays and powerful performance. 

A standout productivity upgrade in the Tab S11 series is the enhanced Samsung DeX, designed to deliver a more desktop-like experience for users on the go. With the introduction of Extended Mode, the Tab S11 Ultra can now be paired with an external monitor to create a true dual-screen setup. This allows users to move apps freely between the tablet and monitor, enabling a seamless multitasking experience. Also, users can create up to four customisable workspaces, each tailored for specific scenarios such as work, travel, study or creative projects, allowing for a highly personalised productivity environment.

The Tab S11 series continues to elevate the creative and productivity potential of the S Pen, integrating it deeply into the system with the help of multimodal AI introduced in One UI 8. Tools like Writing Assist and Drawing Assist make it easier than ever to draft polished notes or sketches with minimal effort, enhancing both professional and creative workflows. Voice commands now work in tandem with pen input, offering more flexibility in how users interact with their device. The inclusion of Circle to Search with Google also adds a layer of contextual exploration, as users can simply circle an object or text on-screen with the S Pen to get real-time information or search results, all without leaving the current app.

One of the most forward-looking features of the Tab S11 series is Gemini Live, a real-time AI assistant that enhances user interaction by understanding input through typing, speech and even visual cues. This multimodal AI system allows for dynamic, on-screen assistance, as users can engage directly with content, ask questions or receive suggestions while working or browsing. The feature works fluidly across various contexts, making tasks like summarising documents, answering queries or translating text much more intuitive. Paired with live translation, Gemini Live turns the Tab S11 into a powerful tool for communication and global collaboration, making international content instantly accessible.

The Tab S11 Ultra and Tab S11 introduce a substantial leap in performance thanks to the integration of a powerful new 3nm processor, which delivers remarkable efficiency and speed improvements over the previous Tab S10 series, including a 33% faster Neural Processing Unit (NPU), a 24% increase in CPU performance and a 27% boost in GPU capabilities. These upgrades mean smoother multitasking, faster app launches and more responsive AI-driven features.

Despite its power, the S11 Ultra is also Samsung’s thinnest tablet ever, measuring just 5.1 mm, with ultra-slim 5.2 mm bezels and a stunning Dynamic AMOLED 2X display reaching up to 1600 nits brightness, offering vivid colours and deep contrast, even in bright environments. Users can choose between the expansive 14.6-inch display of the S11 Ultra or the Tab S11’s more compact 11-inch screen, both offering immersive viewing experiences. Additionally, the 120 Hz refresh rate ensures fluid scrolling, responsive touch input and an overall smoother interaction, making these tablets ideal for both work and entertainment.
