I tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra for a week — and it’s the best Android tablet yet
Tom's Guide Verdict The Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra isn’t a revolutionary update, but it still features what we loved about the previous model, especially its enormous 14.6-inch OLED panel as well as its sleek, thin, and light design. However, it’s still not a true laptop replacement, and the $200 price hike certainly stings. Still, if you want a huge OLED Android tablet, this is the best one out there.
