UNSPLASH ILLUSTRATION

JAKARTA Samsung has launched the S10 tablet line and is currently preparing the next model. Reportedly, the most expensive model of the Galaxy Tab S11 series will be the thinst tablet of the company.

This report comes from an account called AhmedQwaider888 on X, formerly known as Twitter. The account states that the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will offer a thickness of 5.1mm.

This is a smaller size than the previous year. The Galaxy Tab10 Ultra has a thickness of 5.4mm. Although the reduction is only small, this thickness will be felt when the user holds the tablet.

This step is in line with Samsung's trend over the past few years. The South Korean company continues to reduce the thickness of its devices, starting from flagship phones, folding phones, and now Android-based tablets.

The goal is to make the device slimmer. That way, users can bring the device more comfortably. This trend may continue for the next few years.

Unfortunately, this reduction in thickness will slightly harm users. By reducing the thickness, there is a performance that will be sacrificed. This performance is related to the camera at the front of the screen.

According to leaks, the ultra-wide camera will be removed from the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. In fact, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has two cameras on the front which include an ultra-wide lens and a wide lens.

This reduction was done because Samsung thought the type of camera was not really needed on the front camera, especially for video calls or selfies. Samsung will focus on other types of cameras.

Not all features will be sacrificed on this new tablet. The Galaxy Tab S11 is expected to keep a screen of 14.6 inches and offer a larger battery, 11,600mAh. This device is believed to be released at the end of the year.
