In short
Tab S11 is the 11-inch IP68 sibling of Ultra: Dimensity 9400+, in-box S Pen, 8,400 mAh / 18-hour video, Wi-Fi 6E. US Newsroom launch start $799.99; later US list $899.99. Buy it for a lighter AMOLED Android slate. Skip it if you want the 14.6-inch Ultra or iPadOS.
Who it is for
- Buyers who want the S11-series Dimensity 9400+, in-box S Pen, and IP68 on an 11-inch / ~469 g slate instead of the 14.6-inch Ultra.
- Students and note-takers who will use Book Cover Keyboard Slim (sold separately) and DeX.
- 5G travelers — Newsroom lists Sub-6 5G SKUs (469 g Wi-Fi / 471 g 5G).
Who should skip it
- Anyone who wants the 14.6-inch anti-reflective Ultra, Wi-Fi 7, 11,600 mAh, or dual-size windowing space. That is Tab S11 Ultra.
- iPadOS / Pencil Pro shoppers.
- People who need a Wi-Fi 7 first table — Newsroom assigns Wi-Fi 6E to this 11-inch SKU.
Key differentiators
- 11.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 2560 × 1600, 120 Hz, 1600 nits peak / 1000 nits HBM (same nits table as Ultra; no anti-reflection row on the Newsroom S11 column).
- Same Dimensity 9400+ as Ultra; 12GB RAM on 128 / 256 / 512GB; microSD to 2TB.
- In-box redesigned hexagonal S Pen (BLE not supported); IP68; Armor Aluminum.
- 8,400 mAh / 45W; up to 18 hours video (Samsung UK spec / US Ultra hub recap).
Caveats
- Brightness, 18-hour video, and Galaxy AI copy are Samsung claims. We have not lab-tested Tab S11.
- US list $899.99 is the Wi-Fi figure recorded on the Ultra hub’s Samsung US compare pull (19 September 2026). Re-check the buy page.
- Newsroom Sound row says Quad Speaker at series level. UK Wi-Fi spec page we pulled does not repeat a speaker count — we cite Newsroom and keep the key.
- Samsung product photography is not hosted here.

Overview
Galaxy Tab S11 is the September 2025 11-inch flagship. The job-to-be-done is “S11 silicon and in-box S Pen at 469 g,” not “biggest AMOLED.”
We have not used this tablet. 1600-nit, 18-hour, and Galaxy AI lines stay Samsung claims.
Display, chip, speakers
11.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 2560 × 1600, 120 Hz, 1600/1000 nits. Same Dimensity 9400+ as Ultra; 12GB only (no 16GB/1TB SKU on the Newsroom table). Speakers: Newsroom series row says quad.
Stylus, radios, durability
In-box S Pen without BLE — that is the S11 redesign versus S10+ / S10 Ultra’s BLE inbox pen. Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.4 on this column (Newsroom gives Ultra Wi-Fi 7). IP68. microSD to 2TB. Rear camera is 13 MP single — do not copy Ultra 13+8.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same page as Tab S11 Ultra?
No. Ultra is /tablets/samsung-galaxy-tab-s11-ultra/. This slug is the 11-inch SKU only.
Wi-Fi 7?
Not on this column. Newsroom gives Ultra Wi-Fi 7 and Tab S11 Wi-Fi 6E. UK spec matches 802.11ax / HE160 / 1024-QAM.
What is in the box?
Samsung documents an in-box S Pen. UK FAQ adds a USB-C data cable, ejection pin, and quick start guide. Do not assume a 45W brick is in every US box.
