Is Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra USB-C Port placement a clever design trick?
Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has caught attention for its USB-C port. The port is not in the center of the tablet’s edge. Tech enthusiast Sankew shared a photo showing it closer to one speaker grille. This small detail has started a lot of discussion online
Many people think the off-center port is a mistake. They wonder why a high-end tablet would have it placed unevenly.
But others say it is on purpose. The tablet is very thin, only 5.1mm thick, and has a lot packed inside. It has a big battery, a fast Snapdragon processor, and supports the S Pen. With so much inside, there isn’t enough space to put the port exactly in the middle.
This is not the first time Samsung has done this. Phones like the Galaxy S24 FE also have slightly off-center USB-C ports, and they work perfectly fine. Some users even like it. When the tablet is on a table, the cable lies flatter and is easier to use while charging.
The off-center port shows how device makers balance design and performance. Samsung chose to keep the tablet thin and powerful, even if it means the port is a little uneven.
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra’s USB-C port is not a mistake. It is a small trade-off to keep the tablet slim, powerful, and practical. Some may notice it, but it does not affect how the tablet works.

Samsung has raised the prices of many of its Galaxy smartphones in India. The new prices started on March 5, 2026. The increase affects several models from the Galaxy A, F, and M series. Samsung has informed its retail partners about these price changes.
The main reason for the price rise is the increasing cost of memory and other parts used in smartphones. As components become more expensive, companies like Samsung need to adjust their prices.
According to a reliable tipster, Abhishek Yadav, the prices of some mid-range Samsung Galaxy smartphones have been increased. The new prices are as follows.
The Galaxy M36 is now ₹21,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model, ₹500 higher than before. The 8GB + 256GB version has gone up by ₹1,500 to ₹25,999. The Galaxy F36 also became more expensive. The 6GB + 128GB model now costs ₹21,999, and the 6GB + 256GB version is ₹25,999.

The Galaxy A17 has one of the biggest increases. The 6GB + 128GB model now costs ₹20,499, the 8GB + 128GB model is ₹22,499, and the 8GB + 256GB version is ₹26,499. For the Galaxy A06 5G, only the 6GB + 128GB model has increased to ₹15,999. The other two models remain at the same price.
Earlier this year, Samsung had already increased the prices of some other smartphones like the Galaxy A36, A56, and F17. Reports also say that Samsung may increase prices for its Galaxy Tab tablets soon.
With memory and component costs rising, smartphone prices in India may continue to go up this year. Consumers should expect small increases in other models as well. Stay tuned for more information.
