Power and portability are the combination that truly matters when looking at the Samsung Galaxy S11 Series and Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. When a device is lighter in your hands, yet heavier in features, it poses real potential in what these tablets can deliver once you dive in.

Samsung bundles the S Pen with all of these models, making it clear that you don’t just consume content here, but also learn to create it. That can also be done through the AI features that push ideas beyond the conceptual stage and into creative brainstorming on a lively canvas.

Galaxy Tab S11 Series: taking the next step

If the S10 Lite is your lightweight option, the Galaxy Tab S11 Series is on another level for productivity and entertainment. Samsung takes things up a notch when talking about the performance, display, creativity, and AI that run through the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Tab S11.

The ultimate display experience

Samsung pulls out a lot of the stops in the Galaxy Tab S11 Series, starting with the beautiful displays. You could choose to go with the Tab S11 and its 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display (2560 x 1600) or go even bigger with the 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display (2960 x 1848). These are vividly immersive panels offering incredible sharpness, vibrant colors, and ultra-smooth 120Hz motion.

These Tab S11 devices make every pixel count, no matter if you’re working on a 4K video edit, playing a high-end game, or streaming a hot new series. Ultra-thin bezels give these screens the edge-to-edge treatment to keep your content in the frame where it belongs. Once you start using it, it’ll be hard to go back.

Writing on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 with the S Pen.

Samsung has reimagined the S Pen for the S11 Series to make it more precise, responsive, and powerful. Artists, designers, and note-takers will love the upgraded sensitivity and smoother writing experience. Wielding the pen is about using a creative tool that adapts to what you’re doing or thinking. Just place it down onscreen and take it from there.

Pair it with Samsung’s enhanced S Pen AI features, and you’re cooking with a whole new set of tools. If you’re open to suggestions, Galaxy AI and Gemini have them for you, which can include analyzing your work, summarizing important lectures and interviews, and never getting lost in real-time translation.

Your personal AI assistant

The S11 Series introduces a personal AI assistant that doesn’t just respond — it anticipates. It can help you organize your workflow, translate documents, generate content, or identify something you’re unsure about. AI integration hits its stride by cutting out the extraneous stuff you don’t need. That makes it not only smart, but also intuitive. The more you use it, the more it learns your habits, delivering personalized suggestions and insights that save you time and effort.

Slim and sophisticated design

Despite packing some serious power, the S11 Series cuts a slim profile that only makes it easier to hold. Slip it into your bag and carry a device that looks every bit as professional as it performs. If it falls into water, don’t fret because the IP68 rating for dust and water resistance is among the best you’ll find on any premium tablet in the business. Doesn’t matter if it’s a plane, office, couch, bath, or hot tub, an S11 device won’t be out of place.

Being thin also means there’s room to attach a keyboard and turn the S11 or S11 Ultra into something like a laptop alternative. Run Samsung DeX and you have a desktop-style interface that you can use anytime.

Unstoppable power under the hood

Wi-Fi 7 support also means they’re ready for what comes next for internet bandwidth and connectivity. As this new technology emerges and evolves, the S11 Series will be there every step of the way.

Vibrant colours and sharp details make it all feel immersive whenever you’re streaming your favourite shows, editing documents, or sketching out ideas.
