The end of the year is only a few short months away, and that’s driven many to start thinking about and planning their 2027 resolutions: goals set and commitments made on New Year’s Day to improve life and wellbeing. Whether you’re aiming to move forward in your career, broaden your expertise, or build healthy habits in your day-to-day life, accomplishing your resolutions can bring meaningful, positive change.
Following through on your resolutions can be a challenge, but having a device like a capable tablet at your side will simplify the extra work required and help you stay on track.
Some of the newest tablets on the market come from Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12 line, which launched on October 7 and includes the flagship S12 Ultra and the S12+. Both feature advanced hardware and top-notch designs, along with an excellent AI helper and tons of support for software and accessories, so they’re a great option if you’re after a companion device to help you complete your New Year’s resolutions.
The rundown
- Samsung launched its new Galaxy Tab S12 tablets earlier this month, and both — the flagship Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra model and its smaller sister device, the Galaxy Tab S12+ — are great for people in need of a device to help them accomplish their 2027 New Year’s resolutions.
- Galaxy Tab S12 devices sport a cutting-edge 3nm processor that delivers major performance improvements, along with long all-day battery life, a premium thin-and-light design and beautiful and bright AMOLED 2X displays.
- They also come with Samsung’s bespoke Galaxy AI helper, compatibility with all the best Android software across the Galaxy Store and Google Play Store and an S Pen stylus that’s included in the box.
Powerful, long-lasting and convenient
Whether you plan on using a tablet to work, study, research, or schedule as you work toward accomplishing your resolutions, one thing is universal: You need your device to be speedy and snappy without performance slowdowns or interruptions that interfere with your workflow. Luckily, that’s what Samsung’s Galaxy S12 tablets deliver with their powerful 3nm processors, which bring performance uplifts of 19% in CPU, 17% in GPU and 61% in NPU (AI) compared to their predecessors.
Put plainly, those numbers translate to the computing power and speed people look for in productivity devices, ensuring you’ll have a smooth and satisfying experience when you’re multitasking or working.
That reliable horsepower is coupled with lengthy uptime — the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and S12+ both get over 20 hours of battery life. Specifically, the Ultra's 11,600mAh battery is capable of running for up to 23 hours on a full charge, while the S12+'s slightly smaller battery achieves up to 21 hours.
You get all of this in a thin and light chassis that’s very easy to slip into a bag and take with you. The S12 Ultra is only 5.1mm thick and weighs 692g, and the S12+ comes in at 5.3mm and 555g. Its IP68 durability rating also means it’s very resistant to damage from dust, dirt and water. The featured AMOLED 2X touchscreen — 14.6 inches on the Ultra and 12.6 inches on the S12+ — supports brightness levels up to 1,600 nits and delivers impressive clarity and detail in any environment.
All the utility Galaxy AI has to offer
Another big plus of the Galaxy Tab S12 tablets is that they come loaded with Samsung’s Galaxy AI assistant, an aid that intelligently works with you to complete tasks, give helpful reminders and more.
Galaxy AI can also help you trim large pieces of text into summarized notes, transcribe audio, translate foreign languages, search the web, make suggestions while editing photos and more. It’s an incredibly versatile tool that will undoubtedly come in handy as you pursue your resolutions, and it's supported strongly by the Galaxy Tab S12’s performant AI-boosting NPU hardware.
Software and accessories to get you over the finish line
As valuable as quality hardware, excellent design and nifty AI features are, it’s equally important to have top-tier software you can rely on — and availability of peripheral accessories certainly doesn’t hurt, either. Thankfully, this is available with the Galaxy Tab S12 tablets.
On the software side of things, you can install all the best Android programs and apps from both the Galaxy Store and the Google Play Store on these devices, so you’ll have access to top-notch tools you can depend on as you strive to complete your resolutions. Also, the tablets come preloaded with fan-favorite applications like Notability and Adobe Photoshop - which includes a four-month trial.
For accessories, Samsung includes one of its S Pen styluses in the box of every Galaxy Tab S12 tablet, which enables every user to write or draw by hand on the touchscreen.
Samsung also sells the Pro Keyboard and Book Cover Keyboard Slim separately; with these, you can transform your Galaxy Tab S12 into a laptop, giving it support for traditional typing and extending its functionality. These keyboards have a Galaxy AI button too, which lets you access the onboard AI assistant with a single button press.
