Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra review

Camera quality

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra has the same two cameras on its back as the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra had - a 13MP primary and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. Neither of those will be used more than very often, we imagine.

The main camera captures good photos with punchy colors, wide dynamic range, and no visible noise. The detail is average and the foliage looks somewhat artificial because of that.

Main camera, 13MP

The 2x zoom option achieves magnification by cropping and upscaling and the detail is halved.

Main camera 2x, 13MP

The 8PM ultrawide shots are nice - they offer lively color rendition, properly good distortion correction, and wide dynamic range. The detail is average at best, though.

Ultrawide camera, 8MP

The font camera has ultrawide-angle lens but you get two views in the camera app - wide and narrow (by cropping, of course).

The photos, no matter what camera mode you've used, always come out clean and proficiently processed with realistic skin tones and white balance, wide dynamic range and good facial details.

Front camera 15mm, 12MP

Front camera 24mm, 12MP

The main and front camera support up to 4K video capturing, while the ultrawide maxes out at 1080p. All cameras support electronic stabilization.

The main and front cameras record very good 4K footage with enough detail, beautiful colors, and praise-worthy dynamic range. The detail is unimpressive and the picture looks a bit soft.

The Full HD video from the ultrawide camera is also soft, with oversaturated colors, but good for the purposes of this tablet.
