The good: It's a very powerful tablet that can truly take the place of a laptop when traveling. The battery life is decent, the screen is large enough to have several apps open at once, and the the display quality is amazing.
The bad: Using this as a tablet can be a bit tricky due to its overall size. It has good weight for how big it is, but it is still somewhat heavy, making it a bit tough to handle on a daily basis.
The really really bad: Per Samsung support, even though in Samsung's documentation it claims to have a built in GPS, Samsung support has indicated in writing that this device doesn't have a GPS radio. This means it can't be used for any GPS function, such as google maps.
Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, March 25, 2026
Hello Elderberry, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra with us. We are happy to hear that you are finding this tablet a good replacement for a laptop for many daily needs. We know how important it is to use specific features with your device like Google Maps. The ability to update the GPS would require connection to Wi-Fi on your tablet, and once you leave your house if you are not connected to a hotspot it would not be able to connect to the satellite to update your maps. We have provided a link to an article to help you with the GPS functionality if you are connected to Wi-Fi while on the go with a hotspot or other connections. We have also provided a link to the Samsung Support Team if you device is not operating as intended or expected. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Galaxy phone or tablet's GPS signal is lost https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10001558/ Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages

Exquisite Tablet
on October 10, 2025
Posted by: Nateypooh123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the latest Samung Tablet for school purposes. However, I didn't think it had so many very awesome, very helpful features/tools to use! I use my Tablet daily for school and for daily use as well, not to mention the streaming display on this Tablet is like a TV screen right in front of your face, just without the weight! Awesome Tablet to make production efficient and smooth with a stress free experience thanks to Galaxy AI.
