The perception around tablets has changed ever since the launch of book-style foldables. We're beginning to see devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which can unfold into larger displays, offer a middle ground between smartphones and tablets. A dedicated tablet still has a few advantages, especially if you want to get real work done. A large display, more room for multitasking, and productivity-focused accessories are just some of the things that make it different. But even then, it faces another challenge: Can it be useful enough to replace a laptop without becoming prohibitively expensive?
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ makes a convincing case for a premium tablet that can handle more than streaming and browsing. Its display is great for entertainment, performance is strong, and Samsung DeX makes multitasking useful. The optional keyboard adds to its productivity appeal but also raises the overall cost. It is a capable all-rounder, but its price demands serious consideration.
