Top Features US Shoppers Are Talking About
The release of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has triggered a lot of buzz among U.S. buyers. Several features stand out repeatedly in early feedback—particularly display quality, stylus improvements, performance, and productivity enhancements. While most reactions are positive, some reservations remain.
One of the most praised features is the 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Buyers say the colors are vivid, contrast is strong, and motion (scrolling, animations, video playback) is smooth. The brightness levels are also called out as being more usable outdoors than some older tablets. The slim bezels and thin build (about 5.1 mm) make the tablet feel premium despite its size.
The S Pen is another point of excitement. Its redesign—new grip, improved tip, and better responsiveness—impresses users who draw, take notes, or annotate directly on the screen. Many appreciate that the pen comes included, which adds value. The latency and tilt feel are praised in particular.

Performance improvements are also getting noticed. The tablet is using a powerful chip, paired with generous RAM options, which helps with multitasking and handling resource-demanding apps. Buyers who test photo/video editing, games, or multiple apps running side by side report fewer slowdowns. The storage capacities are large, and there’s expansion via micro-SD in many models, which appeals to those needing space for large files.
Productivity enhancements like improved DeX mode, AI features (writing assist, drawing assist, etc.), and Extended Mode make the tablet more useful for work. Users like that the tablet can function more like a laptop when needed. Also, accessories like keyboard covers (even with some limitations) are seen as helpful for those who want a hybrid setup.
Still, there are some “watch-out” points. The price is steep, and some buyers wonder whether all the new features are worth the upgrade if they already have a recent tablet. Also, certain added features that people liked in prior models—like Bluetooth-based remote features in the pen—are missing or reduced. Some are waiting for better app support for large scale productivity; software optimization remains a concern.
Overall, U.S. users seem excited that Samsung pushed multiple aspects forward—display, stylus, performance, and productivity. Those who use a lot of these advanced features believe the Tab S11 Ultra could be one of the best Android tablets out there. For light users, though, the value might not feel as strong compared to less expensive options.
