The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra had a dual front-facing camera – as did the Tab S9 Ultra and Tab S10 Ultra. That’s cool and all, but the wide notch they caused was not ideal. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will go halfway towards fixing the issue – it will only have a single camera on the front.
Due to thin bezels, that camera will still live on a notch, but it will be less obtrusive as you can see in the images below. The notch, which will have a semicircular design, will eat a tiny fraction of the roomy 14.6” OLED display.

Samsung is said to be using a new panel for this one, but the resolution is the same at 2,960 x 1,848px. We could see a higher brightness or other improvements. Flipping over to the back, there are two cameras, a wide and ultra-wide.
The new Ultra, which is set to be announced at IFA in early September, will be powered by the original Dimensity 9400, according to WinFuture. This contradicts the previous report that said 9400+ instead of 9400. The Plus chip boosts the Cortex-X925 core to 3.73GHz (up from 3.63GHz) and increases NPU performance by 20%, but that’s about it – which is to say that it’s not a huge deal which of the two rumors is correct.

The tablet will have up to 16GB of RAM, likely starting at 12GB for the base model. Storage will be up to 1TB. It will run Android 16 – we’re yet to see One UI 8 on a tablet, so we don’t know what upgrades Samsung has in stores for its large screen devices.
As previously reported, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will measure only 5.1mm thick while having a slightly larger 11,600mAh battery – for comparison, the Tab S10 Ultra is 5.4mm and has an 11,200mAh battery. Charging will remain the same at 45W, according to certifications.
