Under the hood is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset paired with an Adreno GPU and 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Buyers can choose between 128GB and 256GB of UFS storage, while a microSD slot allows for further expansion. The tablet ships with Android 16.

One of the OmniPad 12’s key features is its detachable soft-cover keyboard, which connects through pogo pins and allows the tablet to function more like a compact laptop.

Several education and skill-development applications, including iPrep, Lexillion and Brands.live, come preinstalled.

The Geekbench entry, associated with model number SM-X946B, is widely believed to belong to the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. The identifier closely matches last year’s SM-X936B used by the Tab S11 Ultra, while the CPU configuration leaves little doubt about the chipset inside. The benchmark reveals a setup with one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores, paired with clock speeds of up to 4.21 GHz for the prime core and 2.7 GHz for the efficiency cores, pointing to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500.

Performance figures show the tablet reaching 2,424 points in the single-core test and 8,446 points in the multi-core test, putting it slightly ahead of its predecessor. The tested unit also packs 12 GB of RAM, suggesting Samsung will once again offer this as the base configuration, with a higher-end 16 GB RAM variant likely to follow at launch.

Recent leaks indicate that the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra will look almost identical to the current model. It reportedly retains the 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with its distinctive notch for the front-facing camera, ultra-thin bezels, a slim 5.1 mm metal chassis, dual rear cameras, and the magnetic connector for Samsung’s keyboard cover. The tablet is also expected to keep the 11,600 mAh battery with 45W wired charging, making this year’s upgrade more about refining performance than redesigning the hardware.

Camera hardware is rumored to remain unchanged as well, with a 13 MP primary camera, 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 12 MP front-facing camera housed inside the display notch.

On the software side, Samsung is expected to ship the tablet with One UI 9 based on Android 17, while continuing its flagship software commitment of seven years of Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates.

If previous rumors prove accurate, Samsung will officially unveil the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra alongside the Galaxy S26 FE during a launch event expected to take place in September 2026, probably during IFA 2026.

The tablet runs on Android 16 and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. There’s a 13 inch LCD display in the mix, with a resolution of 2500 x 1560 pixels, 120 Hz refresh rate and 700 nits of HBM brightness. There’s also support for 1.07 billion colors and the screen has a paper like viewing mode.

The device is set to launch on July 31st and it’s going to be a rather large tablet, at 12.1 inches. It also has a 2.5K resolution. The product already has an official page on Flipkart and it should come with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 800 nits in High Brightness Mode. There’s also HDR10 and Dolby Vision for media playback. Moto is saying that there’s a 10.200 mAh battery here, that provides up to 15 hours of video playback.

It also comes with a 68W power adapter, but the manufacturer has yet to confirm the charging speed. The 9 speakers mentioned above deliver a total output of 48 watts and support Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio. Sources say it may in fact be a rebranded Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2. If that’s the case, the device should have a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, a 13 megapixel main camera and an 8 megapixel selfie shooter.

I see we also get a kickstand and I definitely wonder how many years of updates are available.

The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the new OLED panel. The tablet features a 2800 x 1840 resolution, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, P3 wide color gamut support and an optional PaperMatte coating designed to reduce reflections and provide a paper-like writing experience. HUAWEI also claims HDR peak brightness of up to 1200 nits, alongside ultra-thin 4.6 mm bezels for a more immersive viewing experience.

The slate seems to be called now Lenovo Legion Y700 Ultimate, but it could end up with another name, since this is the brute Chinese translation. The device comes with a physical SIM card slot and also an eSIM, offering dual SIM support and dual standby between the two of them. The design is also slightly tweaked from the Y700 Gen 5 before it, which came back in March without 5G connectivity.

Lenovo hasn’t mentioned any specs yet, but we do know from leaks we’ll for sure get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, just like the Y700 before it. The size is also pretty similar and the machine looks quirky in mauve. We should be getting the same 8.8 inch screen with a 3040 x 1904 pixel resolution.

The biggest upgrade here is probably moving on from an LCD screen to an OLED one.
