Samsung launches new flagship tablets every year and 2025 is no different. It brought us the Galaxy Tab S11 and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, two tablets firmly in the flagship segment, a category that not many Android tablet makers are targeting.

Our colleagues over at SamMobile's YouTube channel have but the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra through the ringer for more than a month, creating a comprehensive video review of the tablet that answers some key questions about the tablet.

You've got to give credit where it's due. Design-wise, it's a clear upgrade over the predecessor. It's thinner and lighter with considerably slimmer bezels. However, the glass panel at the back has been removed which eliminates wireless charging for the S Pen as that's no longer needed because the stylus has lost its Bluetooth features, a decision that left some fans disappointed.

Beyond that, it has an incredible display, but it was also present on last year's Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. This begs the question, why does the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra exist? This tablet is definitely a game changer if you're upgrading from the Galaxy Tab S9 series, but it doesn't have much in the way of wow factor if upgrading from the previous model.

The underlying feeling is that if Samsung is thinking of these tablets as a laptop replacement, they're not going about it the right away. If that's the case, these devices need to deliver PC-like performance, similar to how Apple has closed that gap with its top-of-the-line iPads. Samsung could do that as well if it wanted to, but that inclination is not really visible in the lineup.
