Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 in Malaysia from RM4,999, on sale 7 October 2026
The S Pen is in the box; the 45W adapter and the keyboard are sold separately. Samsung’s release says nothing about pre-orders.
RM4,999 to RM6,649, and all four come with the same 256GB — the extra money mostly buys screen and connectivity, not space.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S12 Series on 30 September 2026, and it goes on sale in Malaysia on Wednesday 7 October. The recommended retail prices in the press release are RM4,999 for the Tab S12+ 256GB (Wi-Fi) and RM5,999 for the Tab S12 Ultra 256GB (Wi-Fi). Both come in Gray and Silver.

What stands out
- Two screens, both 120Hz: the Ultra is 14.6 inches at 2960 × 1848 and the S12+ is 12.6 inches at 2800 × 1752. Both are Dynamic AMOLED 2X: peak brightness is 1,600 nits, and 1,000 nits in high brightness mode.
- The S Pen is in the box: Samsung's specs list it as “S Pen (BLE not supported) In-box”. Both tablets and the included S Pen are rated IP68, and Samsung says that rating comes from a lab test — up to 1.5 metres of fresh water for up to 30 minutes — and that it doesn't advise using them at the beach or the pool.
- Battery and charging: 11,600 mAh on the Ultra, 10,600 mAh on the S12+. Samsung says a single charge lasts up to 23 hours on the Ultra and up to 21 hours on the S12+. Wired charging is 45W (the adapter is sold separately), and 0% to 100% takes about 95 minutes.
- Chip, memory and software: both run a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, plus a microSD slot that takes cards up to 2TB. Both ship with Android 17 and One UI 9, and Samsung says the tablets get up to seven OS upgrades and security updates, noting that availability and timing may vary by model and market.
- Wi-Fi isn't the same on both: the Ultra has Wi-Fi 7 and the S12+ has Wi-Fi 6E. Each comes in a Wi-Fi and a 5G version, and Samsung's spec sheet lists both a physical SIM (pSIM) and an eSIM.
- Cameras and speakers: On the back, the Ultra has a 13MP camera and an 8MP ultra wide, while the S12+ has a 13MP. Both have a 12MP ultra wide at the front, and four speakers.

- Ultra or S12+? Screen size and weight are the biggest differences: the Ultra is 14.6 inches and 692g on Wi-Fi, while the S12+ is 12.6 inches and 553g on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi differs too, with Wi-Fi 7 on the Ultra and Wi-Fi 6E on the S12+. Storage is the same on both, at 256GB.
