Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra won’t get rumored selfie camera design upgrade

Wait 5 sec.

It was recently rumored that Samsung could switch to a punch-hole camera cutout for the Galaxy Tab S12 series' front-facing camera. However, a live image of the Galaxy Tab S12+ suggested that it would not use the rumored design. Now, a leaked image of the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra appears to confirm that it will not receive the selfie camera upgrade either.The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra's first live image was spotted in Safety Korea's (South Korea safety certification agency) database. A closer look reveals that its front-facing camera is surrounded by a V-shaped bezel cutout at the edge of the display. This suggests that Samsung's next-generation flagship tablet will not have a punch-hole camera cutout, which would have given it a more modern look.

Many assumed that it depicted one of Samsung's upcoming devices. Since Samsung does not use centered selfie cameras on Galaxy Z Fold devices, it was assumed that the device in the animation was a tablet.Now that the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra appears to use the same front design as its predecessor, its upgrades could be limited to faster performance and a better screen. The upcoming tablet is likely to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor and feature a brighter display. It uses the same battery as the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
