Samsung is readying a Galaxy Tab S11 after skipping over the Galaxy Tab S10. How will the new tablet compare against the older Galaxy Tab S9? It seems we are getting a newer and more efficient chipset and two new color options, but is that just about it?
After a brief hiatus, Samsung is once again turning its head back to the standard and compact Galaxy Tab S range, which was sort of abandoned after the Galaxy Tab S9 broke cover two years ago.
However, it doesn’t seem that this revival will give us a massively different tablet, no. We are getting just a slightly updated slate with refreshed internals in the same familiar and understated aluminum package.
Here is how the new tablet is shaping up to be an improvement on its predecessor, but spoiler alert, it won’t be too much.

Design and DisplayThe Galaxy Tab S11 won’t differ too much from the Galaxy Tab S9, with both devices sharing Samsung’s similar tablet design language. Flat sides, flat displays and backs is all you get, along with a uniform screen with thin bezels, which is actually kind of a great design. In terms of size, there are slight differences that won’t change the experience too much. As per the rumors, the device will measure 253.8 × 165.3 × 5.5 mm, while the older Galaxy Tab S9 had dimensions of 254.3 x 165.8 x 5.9 mm. Notable here is the slightly thinner size of the new device, which seemingly comes at no cost: we won’t be getting a smaller battery inside, which sounds like a win-win scenario.The Galaxy Tab S11 is also shaping up to be lighter at 482 grams, a little less than the 498 grams of the older one. Both are boasting IP68 water and dust resistance and have their fingerprint scanners embedded inside the display.
