Samsung has given its two-year-old Galaxy Tab S Plus an overhaul, but the new model is not a complete redesign. The new tablets are an update to the existing lineup, rather than a replacement for the Galaxy Tab S Plus.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+ have been covered by several outlets, including GSMArena.com and Gizmodo. The update suggests that Samsung is continuing to support its existing tablet lineup, rather than abandoning it.

The new tablets' features and pricing have been reported by Droid Life and Mashable. However, the exact implications of this update for Samsung's Android tablet strategy are unclear.
