Samsung’s latest premium tablets are getting a major performance boost. MediaTek confirmed on September 30 that its flagship Dimensity 9500 chipset is powering the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+.
The move highlights Samsung’s continued collaboration with MediaTek for its Galaxy Tab lineup, bringing high-end mobile processing power to tablets designed for productivity, entertainment, gaming, and multitasking. With the Dimensity 9500 inside, the Galaxy Tab S12 series is positioned to deliver fast app performance, smoother switching between tasks, and improved efficiency for users who rely on tablets for both work and play.
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+ are expected to appeal to users looking for large-screen Android tablets with premium performance. Whether used for streaming, creative apps, video calls, note-taking, or mobile gaming, the inclusion of MediaTek’s flagship chip suggests Samsung is aiming to strengthen the Galaxy Tab S12 series as a serious option in the high-end tablet market.
This partnership also shows how MediaTek continues to expand its presence in premium devices. Once best known for powering mid-range products, the company has increasingly pushed into the flagship space with its Dimensity series, competing for a place in more advanced smartphones and tablets.
For Samsung, using the Dimensity 9500 in the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+ continues a partnership that has already played a role across its tablet portfolio. As demand grows for powerful Android tablets, the combination of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab hardware and MediaTek’s flagship processor could make the Galaxy Tab S12 series one of the most notable tablet launches of the year.
