A new creative pursuit can begin anywhere. It might start with an interest in photography, a desire to produce videos or the initial idea for an original illustration. Turning that curiosity into something tangible, however, takes time. You need to start with building knowledge, developing ideas, and then finding the right tools to bring them to life, often while balancing an already busy schedule.

 

The Galaxy Tab S12 series supports each stage of that journey. Powered by a cutting-edge 3nm processor, the series delivers Samsung’s most powerful Galaxy Tab performance to date, supporting even demanding and intensive activities such as multitasking, image editing and video production. Combining the latest Galaxy AI1 features, expansive displays, an S Pen and access to professional-grade creative applications, the new line-up can help users move from early exploration to active creation all within one versatile workspace.

 

 

Start by Building Your Knowledge

 

Before creating something new, you often need to understand the fundamentals. An aspiring photographer may need to study composition and editing techniques. Someone interested in video production might start with research about storytelling and transitions, while a budding illustrator may explore different drawing styles.

 

This early stage can involve moving between online tutorials, study notes, webpages and other reference materials. Samsung Browser[7] can provide support by consolidating what you’ve discovered by summarising information across open webpages and resurfacing relevant sources from the browsing history. This makes it easier to focus on insights that truly aid understanding, while reducing the hassle and time spent toggling through different tabs.

 

The Galaxy Tab S12 series comes equipped with a six-month trial of Google AI Pro[8], providing access to powerful AI models. As reference materials begin to accumulate, Gemini Notebook brings notes, images, recordings and files into one workspace. It can transform these materials into summaries, podcasts and quizzes, helping you build up understanding and apply what you’ve learned. And if additional clarification is needed or users would like to dive deeper into a particular topic, you can easily activate Gemini[9] for more information.

 

 

Shape Inspiration into an Idea

 

Once the knowledge foundation is built, the next step is to begin shaping your own ideas.

 

With Multi Window, the expansive display of the Galaxy Tab S12 series can become a flexible workspace. Users can divide the screen into up to three sections, enabling you to simultaneously watch a tutorial, capture observations in Samsung Notes and consult an AI assistant without repeatedly moving between applications.

 

Meanwhile, the in-box S Pen provides an intuitive way to annotate reference materials, or sketch an early concept, with the Note Assist[10] function helping to summarise long notes so that you can identify important points and conveniently revisit key insights as an idea develops.

 

Whether it’s planning a sequence of photographs, storyboarding a video or sketching a visual concept, these tools help gather scattered thoughts, giving you a clearer direction as you move into creation.

 

 

Turn Your Ideas into a Masterpiece

With the groundwork in place, users can begin putting theory into practice. The Galaxy Tab S12 series offers professional-grade applications for different creative pursuits, allowing users to choose the tools that are most suitable for what you would like to achieve.

 

An initial sketch can be the starting point for a more developed creative concept. With Creative Studio[11], users can combine S Pen sketches, images and text prompts with Galaxy AI to generate and refine visuals, exploring different creative directions as their ideas take shape.

 

For the first time on an Android tablet, Adobe Photoshop2 comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy Tab S12 series[12]. Its tablet-optimised interface and S Pen give photographers and visual creators more precise control as they edit images, adjust compositions and refine design elements. AI-powered features, including Generative Fill and Image to Video, can also help users explore creative possibilities as they work on producing a masterpiece.[13]

 

 

Those pursuing video creation can use LumaFusion[14] for professional-grade editing, assembling footage and refining video sequences to tell a story. Meanwhile, Clip Studio Paint[15] provides precision drawing and painting tools for digital artists developing original illustrations and visual concepts.

 

The Galaxy Tab S12 series gives these ideas room to grow. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra has a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display[16], while the Galaxy Tab S12+ offers a 12.6-inch display[17] with slimmer bezels than its predecessor. From reviewing detailed photographs and arranging a video timeline, to drawing with the S Pen, users can enjoy an expansive canvas to work on.

 

 

Keep Creating Wherever Inspiration Strikes

 

A creative pursuit does not always happen at a desk. Learning, experimenting and creating can take place in the moments between everyday commitments – being struck by a moment of inspiration during a commute, editing content at a café, or refining a project at home after a busy day.

 

The Galaxy Tab S12 series is designed to support that flexibility. Even with large displays, the devices are incredibly portable so users can freely move and work across locations. In fact, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra measures just 5.1mm thick, making it Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy Tab.

 

Creative sessions can take a long time which means users need a device that lasts. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra’s 11,600mAh battery supports up to 23 hours of video playback[18], while the Tab S12+’s 10,600mAh battery supports up to 21 hours[19]. When it is time to recharge, the battery goes from 0% to 100% in about 95 minutes with the 45W adapter [20] – minimising downtime so users can get back to what they were doing.

 

Exploring a creative interest can help users develop new skills and create something uniquely their own. With Galaxy AI and a suite of professional-grade creative tools, the Galaxy Tab S12 series gives users the flexibility to keep learning, experimenting and bringing their ideas to life.
