Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra may not be the latest, but arrives with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x 120Hz display at the center of the experience.

The Snapdragon 695 processor is also supplemented by 64GB of onboard storage, and if that isn’t enough room, there’a support for microSD card expansion to round out the package alongside 4GB of RAM and four years of guaranteed updates.

Everything is packed into largely the same form-factor as before, with the metal housing surrounding the 10.4-inch touchscreen display. The biggest change however for the Galaxy Tab S6 enters in the form of the new Snapdragon 720G processor that powers the experience.

Plus, today’s offer is right at the same price as the smaller 128GB capacity, too.

Housed within the flip design is a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz display that comes powered by the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. On the outside is the 1.9-inch Super AMOLED display for checking notifications, which also doubles as preview for taking selfies with either of the dual 12 MP cameras.
