Why it matters
Up to seven OS upgrades, IP68 sealing and an in-box S Pen make the Tab S12 series a long-horizon purchase, and Samsung is leaning into that in India by offering its Galaxy Forever buyback programme on Galaxy Tabs for the first time. With prices running from Rs 1,29,999 to Rs 1,84,999, and the Pro Keyboard Cover a further Rs 26,499 or Rs 27,999, the bank, upgrade and phone-bundle offers will weigh heavily on what buyers actually pay.
