Samsung is expected to introduce its next-generation flagship tablet series later this year. Ahead of launch, the Galaxy Tab S12+ has received a new certification that provides a first look at the device’s front side.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 series launched in September 2025. The lineup included the standard Galaxy Tab S11 (curr. $899 on Amazon) and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. This year, Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra.

According to a report (via SammyGuru), the model number SM-X840 corresponds to the Wi-Fi variant of the Galaxy Tab S12+, while SM-X846N is associated with the 5G variant for the Korean market. Both variants have now received Safety Korea certification. Although the listing does not reveal any specifications, it provides a first look at the tablet’s front side.

Contrary to previous rumors suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ would feature a punch-hole cutout for the front camera, the certification image appears to show a front-facing camera embedded in the display bezel.

Leaked specifications of the Galaxy Tab S12 series

A previous leak suggested that the tablets may be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, a flagship octa-core chipset based on a 3nm process node. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is tipped to feature a 14.6-inch display and an 11,600mAh battery. Samsung is expected to launch its next-generation flagship tablet series alongside the Galaxy S26 FE around September or October 2026.
