The Future is Here, and It's a Flawless Sheet of G

I've been a long-time user of Samsung's tablets, but the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is in a league of its own. This isn't just an incremental update; it's a monumental leap forward in what a tablet can be.
The Display: The first thing that hits you is the screen. The new Dynamic AMOLED 3X panel is breathtaking. Colors are not just vibrant, they feel alive, and the blacks are so deep it's like looking into space. Watching 4K HDR content is more immersive than on my OLED TV. Scrolling and gaming are flawlessly smooth thanks to the adaptive 240Hz refresh rate—it feels like the UI is reading my mind.
Performance & AI: This tablet is an absolute powerhouse. The next-gen Snapdragon processor handles everything without a hint of lag. I had over 20 apps open, a 4K video playing, and was running DeX on an external monitor, and it didn't even break a sweat. The new on-device Galaxy AI features are game-changers for my workflow. It can summarize my meeting notes instantly, remove reflections from photos of windows, and even help draft my emails in a more professional tone. It’s like having a personal assistant built-in.
S Pen & Creativity: The S Pen experience is better than ever. The latency is practically zero, making it feel exactly like writing on high-quality paper. For digital artists or avid note-takers, this is the best stylus on the market, bar none. The integration with apps like Clip Studio Paint and Samsung Notes is seamless.
The Verdict: The Tab S11 Ultra isn't just a tablet; it's a complete mobile computing solution. It has replaced my laptop for 95% of my tasks. From productivity and creative work to being the ultimate media consumption device, it excels at everything. While it's a premium device with a premium price tag, the investment is justified by its sheer capability and future-proofed performance. If you want the absolute best tablet money can buy, look no further. This is it.

As I've gotten older, I've become tired of tablets being being just small enough to turn pdfs and comics into digest sized pages where I need to zoom in on pages to read properly. Finally, a tablet with a screen large enough to match the actual page size of actual books. This is my primary use for the tablet, and while I'm sure I'm underutilizing it, I'm delighted with it.
The display is nice and clear, with no lag changing between apps. The battery has been lasting me a couple of days before I need to recharge, but I haven't been doing anything heavy, so I'd say its been taking about 6 hours of screen time before getting down to 30%. Network connections have been fast and easy. Everything runs quickly and smoothly enough that I've considered upgrading my Windows to use the tablet for remote use.
The tablet very thin, almost half the thickness of the A9. This makes it nice and lightweight, but I worry about durability while traveling, especially given the length.

The Apex of Android Productivity

Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra in its top 1TB configuration is not merely an oversized tablet; it's a genuine laptop replacement for those heavily invested in creative work, demanding professional tasks, and premium multimedia consumption. With a stunning 14.6-inch AMOLED display, a massive 16GB of RAM, and the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, this device handles every task thrown at it—from complex 4K video editing to high-end gaming and seamless DeX multitasking—with exceptional fluidity. While its price places it at the absolute premium end, the unrivaled screen, included S Pen, and commitment to seven years of software updates make it the undisputed 'Everest' of the Android tablet world.
Design and Display: A Feast for the Eyes
The Tab S11 Ultra maintains its signature ultra-thin (5.1mm) and robust chassis, wrapped in Armor Aluminium with an impressive IP68 rating—a rarity for such a large tablet. However, the star of the show remains the 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. It is simply breathtaking: massive, intensely bright (up to 1600 nits), and features phenomenal color saturation and contrast.
The 16:10 aspect ratio proves superior for split-screen productivity and video watching, avoiding the heavy letterboxing common on competitors. The improved anti-reflective coating dramatically reduces glare, making outdoor or brightly lit use far more practical than previous generations.
A minor quibble, yet one that persists, is the small, centrally placed notch for the front-facing camera. While easy to ignore, it feels unnecessary on a device this size.
Performance and Multitasking: Laptop-Grade Power
The move to the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor delivers top-tier performance. For the 1TB model, the inclusion of a whopping 16GB of RAM is a major differentiator. This immense memory capacity makes the Tab S11 Ultra a multitasking monster, easily handling dozens of open applications and allowing for complex workloads like simultaneous 4K video editing and high-fidelity gaming without a hiccup.
Samsung's DeX mode truly shines here. With 16GB of RAM, switching the tablet into its desktop environment transforms the device into a genuine secondary workstation. The ability to manage multiple virtual desktops and freely resize and layer app windows elevates Android productivity to an unparalleled level.
S Pen and Software Ecosystem
The S Pen comes included, offering industry-leading low-latency writing and drawing. While the newer S Pen iteration loses the Bluetooth features (Air Actions) found in previous models, the core experience—the feel, accuracy, and responsiveness for artists and note-takers—remains flawless.
Samsung's Galaxy AI suite is deeply integrated, offering genuinely useful, time-saving tools like object removal in photos and generative text prompts, further cementing the tablet’s status as a professional creative tool. The promise of seven years of OS updates also provides exceptional future-proofing.
Battery and Value
The large 11,600mAh battery provides excellent endurance, easily pushing past a full workday of heavy use (testing showed over 11 hours of video streaming at max brightness). While 45W charging is fast enough to top up the massive cell in under two hours, it still lags behind some competitors.
The cost of the 1TB model is a considerable investment. However, for the professional user needing the best possible screen, maximum RAM, dedicated MicroSD support, IP68 durability, and the included S Pen—features not often matched by its rivals—the Tab S11 Ultra represents the pinnacle of Android excellence and justifies its premium pricing.

Wonderful screen, great size for multitasking. Switched over form an iPad Pro and really enjoy the flexibility of Android. Very fast tablet. Works seamlessly as a second screen for my Win laptop. Not as "pretty" or simple as the iOS interface, but much more flexible and powerful for a productivity use case.

I had surgery and needed a new tablet. This tablet surpassed my expectations. It's easy to use and large so I didn't miss my TV when I was stuck in bed. Price was high but I'll make good use out of it. Battery life is great too.

The delivery of this product was delayed, and Best Buy cancelled my order. I'm not getting help obtaining a replacement. When I try to use online help regarding the order, I go through a loop that leads me nowhere.
