Samsung forgoes the Tab S11+ model, introduces a more affordable 'S10 Lite' in leaked Galaxy Tab S11 specs
Samsung is set to release its new Galaxy Tab S11 series in the second half of 2025, with an anticipated launch around early September, coinciding with Samsung's scheduled press conference at the IFA event on September 4th or 5th.
The new lineup will consist of the Galaxy Tab S11 and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, with the Galaxy Tab S11+ model taking a break this year. The Tab S11 series will be part of Samsung's late-2025 product ecosystem push, emphasizing enhanced AI capabilities and new models across flagship, mid-tier, and entry-level categories.
Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra: A Step Up in Performance
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is expected to maintain a similar price range to last year’s Ultra model. The Wi-Fi version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage will start at around €1,399. Higher RAM and storage configurations will be priced up to approximately €1,759. Notably, the Ultra model is rumored to feature a smaller notch and lack an S-Pen charging port on the back.
Galaxy Tab S11: A Flagship Experience at a Lower Price Point
The Galaxy Tab S11 will offer 12GB of RAM by default, with the option to upgrade to 16GB on the Ultra. It will feature a flagship processor and offer storage options of 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB. The Tab S11 is expected to cost around €899 (Wi-Fi) and €1049 (Wi-Fi + 5G) for the 12GB/128GB configuration.
Galaxy Tab S10 Lite: An Affordable Option for Budget-Conscious Buyers
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, positioned below the Tab S11 series and the midrange Tab S10 FE, will feature a 10.9-inch 2112x1320 LCD screen, paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and powered by an Exynos 1380 processor. It will include two speakers instead of four and support slower charging speeds. The Tab S10 Lite is expected to come in a red color option besides the usual gray and silver, aiming to compete with entry-level iPads on price and feature set. The Tab S10 Lite is expected to be even cheaper than the Tab S11 series.
In summary, Samsung is expanding its tablet portfolio with the flagship Tab S11 series debuting in early September 2025 and continuing to offer affordable variants like the Tab S10 Lite for more budget-conscious buyers.
