I know what you’re thinking—didn’t the Tab S11 series just land? It did. But in the world of tech, the next big thing never sleeps. I’ve been digging into the latest database hits, and it looks like Samsung is already prepping the successor to its flagship tablet lineup.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ has officially been spotted on the IMEI database, and if history is any indication, this “middle child” might just be the sweet spot for most of us.
The “Plus” Returns to the Lineup
Last year, we saw a bit of a shift with the Tab S11 and the massive Ultra, but the spotting of model number SM-X846B suggests the “Plus” variant is back in action.
-
Connectivity: The listing confirms 5G support, ensuring this stays a mobile powerhouse.
-
The Positioning: It’s slated to sit right between the standard S12 and the overkill-but-awesome Ultra.
-
Why it matters: The “Plus” model usually hits the “Goldilocks” zone—offering a larger screen than the base model without being as unwieldy (or expensive) as the 14.6-inch Ultra.
Building on a Strong Foundation
While the IMEI listing is light on hardware specs, we can look at the current Tab S11 series to see the high bar Samsung has set. For context, the current models are absolute beasts:
-
Performance: Powered by the 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset.
-
Display: Vivid Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels with 120Hz refresh rates and 1,600 nits of peak brightness.
-
Battery Life: Ranging from 8,400mAh to a massive 11,600mAh in the Ultra.
The Analytic Take: Why This Matters Now
Seeing a Tab S12+ leak this early suggests Samsung is tightening its release cycle. With Android 16 and One UI 8 already in the wild, the hardware needs to keep up with increasingly heavy AI features and multitasking demands. If you were about to drop Rs. 80,000+ on a new tablet today, you might want to keep an eye on how quickly these S12 leaks start piling up.
