Nine Galaxy Tabs: All but the A11+ Come With an S Pen

Samsung sells nine Galaxy Tabs new in the US, from the $299.99 Tab A11+ to the $1,399.99 Tab S12 Ultra, and each step up adds something you can read off its spec sheet. The A11+ is the one without an S Pen; the S10 FE adds IP68 and 45W charging; the S11, S10+ and S12+ add 120Hz AMOLED screens and Dimensity 9000-series chips; the two Ultras add a 14.6-inch screen.

Prices below are Samsung’s US store list prices for the Wi-Fi base model, read on 18 October 2026. Specs are Samsung’s, from its compare page and launch releases.

Samsung sells the 45W and 25W adapters separately; its releases say so for the S11, S12, FE and Lite. The A11+’s IP52 rating is from its launch release; Samsung’s compare page leaves that cell blank.

What each step up adds

• Tab A11+ to S10 Lite, $100 more. An S Pen in the box, which the A11+ cannot use at all, and 8,000mAh against 7,040mAh. Charging stays at 25W and the screen stays a 90Hz LCD.
• S10 Lite to S10 FE, $150 more. IP68 water and dust resistance instead of IP42, 45W charging, the Exynos 1580 in place of the Exynos 1380, and 8GB or 12GB of RAM instead of 6GB or 8GB. The FE+ keeps the FE’s chip, memory and charging and moves to 13.1 inches and 10,090mAh, for $150 more again.
• S10 FE+ to the S models, $300 or more. The first AMOLED screens and the first 120Hz in the range, and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000-series chips. All three have IP68 and 45W, as the FEs do. Within this step the S11 is the small one, at 11 inches and 1.03 lb; the S10+ and S12+ are 12.4 and 12.6 inches.
• To an Ultra. A 14.6-inch AMOLED, the largest battery here at 11,600mAh, and the 16GB + 1TB tier, which no smaller model offers. The S11 Ultra and S12 Ultra share the screen, battery, charging and memory tiers; the S12 Ultra has the newer chip, and our Tab S12 Ultra launch post sets out the rest of what changed.

Two price oddities follow from Samsung’s own list. The Tab S10+, on a Dimensity 9300+, lists $100 above the Tab S11 on a Dimensity 9400+; the S10+ has the bigger screen and battery, the S11 the later chip. And the S11 Ultra sits $100 under the S12 Ultra at 256GB, for the same screen and battery.

Higher storage tiers, and 5G

Samsung’s store priced the larger tiers on 18 October at:

• S12 Ultra: 512GB $1,599.99, 1TB $1,999.99. S11 Ultra: 512GB $1,499.99, 1TB $1,899.99.
• S12+: 512GB $1,399.99. S10+: 512GB $1,299.99. S11: 256GB $1,099.99, 512GB $1,299.99 (list; each on sale for $100 less).
• S10 FE+: 256GB $819.99. S10 FE: 256GB $669.99. S10 Lite: 256GB $489.99. A11+: 256GB $379.99.

The listing also shows 5G versions of the S12+, S10+, S10 FE and A11+, and an A11+ Kids Edition at $349.99. Samsung’s S12 and S10 FE releases give their 5G models a physical SIM plus an eSIM; what changes between an eSIM and a physical SIM is worth reading before adding a data plan.

Older models now cost more than at launch

Six models list above the US price Samsung announced at launch.

Model	Launch price, per Samsung’s release	Samsung US list, 18 Oct 2026
Tab S11 Ultra	$1,199.99	$1,299.99
Tab S11	$799.99	$999.99
Tab S10+	$999.99	$1,099.99
Tab S10 FE+	$649.99	$699.99
Tab S10 FE	$499.99	$549.99
Tab A11+	$249.99	$299.99

The S10 Lite’s release gives no US price, so it is not in the table. The S12 models list at their launch prices. Samsung’s current sale takes the S11 back to $899.99, still above its launch price.

Where Samsung’s own pages disagree

• The tablets landing page’s comparison table is misaligned. Its data columns do not match its headers; it shows the “Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra” column with a 10.9-inch LCD and an Exynos 1380. The separate Compare Tablets page lines up, and is what this page uses.
• The S10 FE+ chip. The Compare page lists an Exynos 1380; Samsung’s S10 FE launch release gives the Exynos 1580 for both FE models. We use the release.
• Listing prices. The All Tablets cards show the price of the pre-selected storage tier, so the S11 Ultra card read “From $1,499.99”, its 512GB price, while the 256GB model is $1,299.99.

Our tablet shortlist averages published review scores and currently includes the S11 Ultra; it adds a model once three outlets have scored it. Samsung’s Windows laptops are set out the same way in which Galaxy Book is which.
