Samsung has a new tablet for flexible, modern workspaces. The Galaxy Tab S12 series has officially arrived.

The lineup includes the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+. Both feature Samsung’s latest Galaxy AI, upgraded performance, long battery life, and a remarkably slim profile. The series targets users moving between work, learning, and creative projects throughout the day.

Slim profile, vivid display

At 5.1mm thin, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest tablet yet. It pairs this ultra-thin design with a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S12+ features a 12.6-inch display with slimmer bezels. Both screens reach up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness. An upgraded Vision Booster improves visibility in bright lighting.

All-day power, durability

Battery performance gets a noticeable boost. Samsung states the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra lasts up to 23 hours per charge. The Galaxy Tab S12+ reaches up to 21 hours. Both models support 45W fast charging. A full charge takes about 95 minutes under standard conditions.

Both models carry an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. This adds extra durability and peace of mind for daily travel.

Upgraded Internal Hardware

The hardware underneath sees significant gains. A new 3nm processor delivers up to 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance, and 17% improved GPU performance compared to the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.

A redesigned 3D Vapor Chamber efficiently manages heat during heavy tasks like video editing and graphic design.

Smart productivity with S Pen and AI

The included S Pen brings tactile precision to the display. Users can easily write notes, annotate documents, and sketch. Multi Window splits the screen into up to three sections.

You can run a lecture video, Samsung Notes, and an AI assistant simultaneously. Note Assist condenses lengthy notes into quick summaries.

Galaxy AI simplifies information management across the system. The lineup includes a six-month trial of Google AI Pro. Gemini Notebook combines notes, images, recordings, and files into one workspace. Users can also quickly generate summaries, podcasts, and quizzes from their materials.

Pro-level creative suite

Samsung delivers a serious software lineup for creative work. Adobe Photoshop comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy Tab S12 series.

This marks the first time Photoshop comes pre-installed on an Android tablet. The optimized experience supports the S Pen and includes AI tools like Generative Fill and Image to Video.

The lineup also supports top apps like Notability, Goodnotes, LumaFusion, Notion, and Clip Studio Paint. These tools expand performance beyond everyday note-taking into digital art, video editing, writing, and organization.

Price, availability in the Philippines

In the Philippines, pre-orders run exclusively on Shopee from October 9 to 20. The official online launch occurs on October 21 via Samsung.com, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Shopee, MemoX.com, and Abenson.com. Physical availability follows at Samsung Experience and Authorized stores on October 28.

Every launch purchase includes a productivity bundle valued at up to PhP 18,279. It features the Book Cover Keyboard Slim, S Pen, and 45W travel adapter. Buyers also receive app perks worth up to PhP 24,161. These include a one-year Microsoft 365 subscription, six months of Google AI Pro, and four months of Adobe Photoshop.

Combining a large display, portable design, S Pen, Galaxy AI, and pro tools, the Galaxy Tab S12 series unchains your full workspace from a standard desk.

2026’s The Game Awards will stream live on Disney+

Published

on

Annually, The Game Awards have become a sort of second Christmas for gamers. Besides a celebration of the past year in the world of videogames, the event hosts trailers for games of the upcoming year and beyond. Though it’s already free on several platforms, viewers can now tune in to Disney+ to watch this year’s Game Awards.

Hosted as always by Geoff Keighley, 2026’s The Game Awards will happen on December 10 at 7:30pm ET. Most of the event will award the best titles of various categories for the year. Several publishers and developers also use the event to announce their upcoming titles. It’s for these reasons that a lot of gamers catch the event every year.

This year, The Game Awards is streaming live on Disney+. This is in addition to its usual platforms including Twitch and YouTube. The Disney+ stream will be available in the United States and select territories internationally.

For now, gamers can also vote on their picks for various categories via the event’s website.

On the other hand, Disney+ has been pushing live events more adamantly. In the Philippines, for example, the platform is the home for live NBA coverage. Though it’s not as strong as Netflix’s gaming push with its assortment of free games, Disney+’s addition of the annual awards show is a worthy go for gamers.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns after scandals

Published

on

NVIDIA’s week is finally and mercifully coming to an end. After being implicated in two extramarital affairs, now-former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned from his position.

It’s been a terrible week for Huang’s personal life. Last weekend, a bombshell report revealed that Huang engaged in an affair with Alice Huang, who is reportedly involved with Chinese intelligence. Quickly realizing the heaviness of the allegations, the CEO admitted quickly to the affair.

However, barely 24 hours ago, another report revealed that Huang had a second extramarital affair. Though he was clear of any more espionage allegations, his romantic affair of choice was another executive within the company. NVIDIA’s board of directors quickly debated whether Huang should be fired for his actions.

Now, Huang has voluntarily resigned from his position. The former CEO leaves behind his spot at the head of the table since cofounding NVIDIA in 1993.

In his stead, the board of directors have named incumbent CFO Colette Kress as the company’s interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. Despite her interim role, Kress will continue her duties as CFO.

Additionally, the board has named Harvey C. Jones, a member of board since its founding, as its first chair of the board.

Though the company will leave most of the controversy behind with Huang’s departure, its next chapter is about to begin. Will its new direction maintain the company’s tenuous balance between AI and gaming, or tip the scales towards one segment?

St. Peter reunited people with their deceased loved ones through tech

The new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign generates letters from the imagined perspectives of loved ones.

Grieving can take many forms. Sometimes, it manifests through a desire to hear a loved one again. We look at their old clothing, a gust of wind, or a butterfly, and imagine them talking to us one more time. This year, St. Peter, through the power of technology, gave 11,000 people that chance through its new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign.

During St. Peter Deathcare Week, which ran from October 27 through November 2, the deathcare provider started the “If Heaven Could Write” campaign, an interactive digital experience that offered participants a chance to reunite with their deceased loved ones. It was available in 37 St. Peter Chapels and 76 cemeteries nationwide.

Upon scanning a QR code which took them to a portal, participants answered questions about their loved ones. Then, the portal generates a personal letter from the imagined perspective of the participant’s loved one, giving them one more chance to converse.

Of course, an imagined letter can’t replace someone who passed away. Still, the experience affords us a way to grieve and process the loss. No, the letter isn’t really from your loved one, but you can imagine what they would have said while reading through it. And sometimes, that’s all we need.

Though St. Peter Deathcare Week has already come and gone for the year, those interested can still participate in the campaign through its link.
