Samsung made a 5.1 mm tablet that plays video for 23 hours.
Samsung says up to 23 hours, a figure measured in a lab on video playback. Email, video calls and browser work were not part of that test.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra on Wednesday and called it its thinnest Galaxy Tab yet. The Wi-Fi version weighs 692 grams and has a 14.6-inch screen, 9to5Google reported. It goes on sale on 7 October.
The Ultra starts at $1,399, $100 more than last year's model. The smaller Tab S12+ starts at $1,199, also up $100, 9to5Google reported.
Adobe Photoshop comes preloaded on the new tablets with four months of free access, Samsung said. The small print in Samsung's film adds that for at least six months from 7 October the app will be offered only through Samsung's Galaxy Store, "after which Adobe may launch the app in other app stores." Adobe has not committed to a date for any other store.
Battery life and thinness do not decide whether a tablet can replace a managed laptop. SAP screens, device management and the specialist apps a role depends on do.
