Both models share the same MediaAk Dimensity 9400+ (3 Nm) processor, Android 16 with one onion 8 and 5g connection, but they are adapted to different types of users.
The Galaxy Tab S11 is built as a more compact choice with its 11-inch screen, while the Galaxy Tab S11 ultra borders push with a massive 14.6-inch screen aimed at power users prioritizing productivity and multitasking on a larger canvas.
For internal configuration, Galaxy TA1 to 12 GB of RAM offers with storage options that are out at 512 GB, while ultra things take further with configurations of up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB storage.

Display sharpening is another distinction, with the Tab S11 producing a slightly higher pixel density (\ ~ 274 ppi) on its smaller screen, compared to the ultra’s \ ~ 239 ppi on the larger panel.
