Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra review: Samsung's ultimate tablet is too much for most

There’s another premium tablet gunning for the iPad’s crown. Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is an absolute beast, boasting a gigantic 14.6-inch AMOLED screen, a powerful processor and a slimline design that makes it surprisingly portable despite its monstrous dimensions. It looks seriously impressive, but is it really worth its eye-watering £1,399 price tag?
