Looks like Samsung's ultra-premium tablet's launch is imminent as we see it appear in yet another leak. This time, a live image of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has surfaced online, revealing a surprising design change that could hint at a possible downgrade to the front cameras.
After the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra's renders surfaced online recently, it has now been spotted on the SafetyKorea certification website bearing the model number SM-X936N. Alongside, there's also a poor-quality live image of the device that reveals that the Tab S11 Ultra will feature a single selfie camera housed in a smaller notch.
This marks a departure from the dual selfie cameras seen on its predecessors, including the Tab S8 Ultra, Tab S9 Ultra and the Tab S10 Ultra. Those models included a primary as well as an ultra-wide camera. The shift to a single lens could be seen as a step back, especially by those who rely on the selfie shooter's versatility.
It remains unclear whether the single camera will offer improved specs to compensate for the missing second lens. Well, Samsung could use a higher-resolution ultrawide lens that can crop in to take regular wide shots without losing quality. It would also be great to see Samsung bring back 4K @ 60 FPS video recording to the tablet that was last seen on the Tab S8 Ultra.
The standard Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S10 Lite have also made an appearance on the certification website with the SM-X736N and SM-X406N model numbers, respectively. Both these tablets are seen sporting thicker bezels and a single selfie shooter as well.
While it's understandable that the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will undoubtedly bring superior specs in comparison to the Tab S11 and Tab S10 Lite, the lack of dual selfie cameras is not a good start. Thanks to the Tab S11 Ultra's Geekbench listing, at least we know that it won't compromise on performance with the Dimensity 9400+ chipset.
With that said, it will be interesting to see what else Samsung has up its sleeve for its next top-of-the-line tablet. Expect to see more information surface in the coming days.
