Design and Build

The Galaxy Tab S11 maintains a similar design language to previous generations, characterized by a simple yet elegant aesthetic. A notable improvement in the Tab S11 compared to the Tab S9 is its reduced weight and thickness.

Weight: The Tab S11 (WiFi version) weighs 469g, a reduction from the Tab S9's 498g.
Thickness: The Tab S11 is 5.5mm thick, compared to the Tab S9's 5.9mm. While not as thin as the Tab S11 Ultra, this is considered a significant improvement.
Form Factor: The 11-inch size is deemed suitable for most users, offering a balance between screen real estate and portability, making it easy to fit into backpacks for work or school. The reviewer prefers the slightly squarer form factor for better balance when holding.

S Pen

The S Pen is included with the Galaxy Tab S11 and features several design and functional changes.

Design: The new S Pen has a white color and a different design compared to previous generations. It features multiple grooves along its body, similar to a pencil, to prevent slipping and improve grip.
Writing Experience: The reviewer finds the writing experience to be smooth and comfortable, even comparing it favorably to the Apple Pencil.
Weight: The new S Pen is lighter than its predecessor.
Bluetooth Removal: A key change is the removal of Bluetooth support from the S Pen. This eliminates features like using the S Pen to change slides or take photos remotely. The reviewer considers this a worthwhile trade-off for the lighter weight and improved comfort, as these Bluetooth-dependent use cases are infrequent.
Nib Size: The nib of the new S Pen is slightly larger than the old one, but the writing feel and accuracy remain similar.

Note-Taking Experience with GoodNotes

The note-taking experience on the Galaxy Tab S11 is significantly enhanced by the updated GoodNotes application.

GoodNotes Update: Previously, the Android version of GoodNotes was considered lacking in features and performance compared to its iPad counterpart. However, a recent update has brought most essential features, including a ruler tool, to the Android version.
Performance: While page loading speed can be slow for notebooks with a very large number of pages, other aspects like writing feel and drawing capabilities are now comparable to the iPad version.
Screen Aspect Ratio: The reviewer notes a difference in the note-taking experience due to the tablet's 16:10 aspect ratio. When taking notes horizontally, the vertical screen real estate is limited, requiring more scrolling compared to the iPad. When held vertically, the horizontal space is reduced. This is a matter of personal preference, and some users may not find it an issue.
Recommendation: To determine suitability, the reviewer advises users to try note-taking on a Galaxy Tab at a store and compare it with an iPad if possible.

Display

The Galaxy Tab S11 features an AMOLED display, a significant upgrade from the LCD panels of older models.

Technology: AMOLED display provides higher contrast and better overall display quality compared to LCD.
Color and Brightness: The reviewer finds the colors, brightness, and overall display quality to be excellent.
Anti-Glare Coating: Unlike the Tab S11 Ultra and S10 Ultra, the Tab S11 does not have an anti-glare coating on its screen.
Refresh Rate: The display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, contributing to a smoother visual experience.
Comparison: The display quality and experience are considered superior to the iPad, particularly due to the 120 Hz refresh rate.

Performance and Hardware

The Galaxy Tab S11 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus processor.

Processor: The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus is used instead of Snapdragon chips found in previous generations. The reviewer has not encountered any performance issues, with the tablet being responsive and not overheating during typical tablet usage.
Gaming: While the reviewer does not play games, they acknowledge that gamers might have a different experience. However, they state that MediaTek chips are now very capable for general tablet tasks.
RAM: The base model of the Tab S11 comes with 12GB of RAM, eliminating the need to purchase higher storage variants solely for more RAM.
Haptic Feedback: Samsung has removed the haptic feedback feature from the Galaxy Tab S11. The reviewer does not find this to be a significant loss, as they do not believe haptic feedback is essential for a tablet.

Additional Features

The Galaxy Tab S11 includes several advanced features.

IP68 Rating: The tablet is water and dust resistant with an IP68 rating.
Samsung DeX: Users can utilize Samsung DeX for a more flexible, windowed app experience.
