Samsung's 11-inch flagship shares its bigger sibling's connectivity: one USB Type-C 3.2 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode that enables wired Samsung DeX on an external monitor. The port runs USB 3.2 Gen 1 data (5 Gbps) and accepts 45W wired charging. A dedicated microSD slot adds expandable storage, which many premium tablets have dropped. The keyboard cover connects via magnetic pogo pins rather than a cable, and there is no headphone jack, so wired audio requires a USB-C adapter.

Notes & Compatibility
The USB-C port is USB 3.2 Gen 1, so 5 Gbps for data, and it carries DisplayPort Alt Mode for wired Samsung DeX on an external monitor. That is the usual failure point: a charge-only USB-C lead moves power but no picture, so DeX over a cable needs a lead that actually carries DP Alt Mode, or a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Wired charging is 45 W, which needs a USB Power Delivery charger and a lead rated for the current; a thin bundled cable will charge, just slowly. Storage expands through a dedicated microSDXC slot that is not shared with the SIM tray, up to 2 TB. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired headphones need a USB-C DAC adapter. The magnetic pogo strip for the Book Cover Keyboard is an accessory contact rather than a cable port and is not listed above.
