The Samsung Galaxy Tab S series is Samsung's flagship tablet line, running the Android operating system and mirroring the Galaxy S series of smartphones. It expanded in the mid-range line with the release of the Lite and FE models.
History The Galaxy Tab S series was first introduced in June 2014 with the release of a 8.4-inch and a 10.5-inch version. The initial release marked the return of the SuperAMOLED display on a tablet after it was last used on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in 2012. Since then, numerous changes and newer features were introduced to the series throughout the years.
The S Pen was reintroduced for tablets with the release of the Galaxy Tab S3, a few years after the last Galaxy Note tablet released in 2014. Samsung DeX also made its way to the Tab S lineup with the release of the Galaxy Tab S4 in 2018. The Galaxy Tab S5e, released in 2019, was introduced as a more streamlined version of the Galaxy Tab S line. The lineup later expanded with the introduction of the Lite, Fan Edition (FE), and Ultra models.
In September 2026, Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S12 series, consisting of the Tab S12+ and the Tab S12 Ultra. The generation omitted a base model and reinstated the Plus variant, which had last appeared with the Galaxy Tab S10 series in 2024.
The lineup unofficially served as a successor to the Galaxy Tab Pro and Galaxy Note Tab models, later incorporating their features into the Tab S lineup.
