AI at the Core
Samsung is clearly betting big on AI with the Galaxy Tab S11 series. Running on One UI 8, these tablets use Gemini to perform a range of tasks. One standout feature is Gemini Live, where the AI can literally see what’s on the user’s screen. For instance, a student could pull up notes and ask Gemini to break down a chart or summarize lengthy material.
Holding down the side button activates Gemini, which can then carry out actions across apps. You might, for example, share a webpage link and ask, “Summarize this article and save it to Samsung Notes,” cutting down extra steps. There are also creative tools like Drawing Assist, which refines rough sketches into cleaner illustrations, and Writing Assist, which adjusts tone and style for emails or reports. Circle to Search with Google is back too, this time with added contextual smarts.
Hardware and Design
Under the hood, Samsung has given the Tab S11 series a serious performance lift with its new 3nm processor. According to the company, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra delivers up to 24% faster CPU performance, a 27% boost in GPU power, and a 33% stronger NPU for handling AI workloads.
The Ultra model is also pushing design boundaries. At 5.1 mm thick and weighing 692 grams, it’s thinner and lighter than before. Both tablets sport Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays with peak brightness reaching 1600 nits, which should make outdoor use more comfortable.
Productivity Tools
Samsung hasn’t forgotten about usability either. The S Pen gets a fresh design with a cone-shaped tip for finer control and a hexagonal body for a more natural grip. On the software side, Quick Tools makes editing faster, and Sticky Note lets users scribble down thoughts right on top of any open document without leaving the app.
DeX has also been upgraded. The new Extended Mode transforms the tablet and an external display into a dual-screen setup, allowing drag-and-drop functionality across both. Users can even create up to four distinct workspaces in DeX, each customized for different tasks or projects.
Price and Availability
The Galaxy Tab S11 series is now available for pre-order through Samsung.com, Samsung Exclusive Stores, and select online and offline retailers across India. Prices begin at ₹74,999.
Customers can choose a 9-month no-cost EMI plan via banks or go for a 24-month EMI option through NBFC financing. Those who pre-order will also get a complimentary 45W travel adapter.
