Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra
The best large Android tablet, but last year's Tab S11 Ultra delivers nearly the same experience for less if you can find it.

Our verdict
Samsung's largest tablet combines a 14.6-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen with an IP68 rating, an included S Pen and a 5.1mm aluminum body. Expert Reviews measured nearly 20 hours of video playback, about two hours more than the 11-inch M5 iPad Pro, while noting that performance still trails Apple's M-series chips and gaming is less strong. DeX mode makes it usable with a keyboard, but reviewers agree Android tablet apps remain less polished than iPadOS. Several outlets, including PhoneArena and Trusted Reviews, found it a small upgrade over the Tab S11 Ultra at a higher price.
