Samsung is one of the few major OEMs that still cares about the Android tablet segment. Their current flagship-grade tablet, the Galaxy Tab S6, picked up its stable Android 10 update back in April. Two more Samsung Galaxy tablets from the previous generations, the Galaxy Tab S4 and the Galaxy Tab S5e, are now receiving the same treatment. Interestingly, this rollout is rather early as per Samsung’s Android 10 update schedule, as the One UI 2 OTA for the two tablets was originally promised for July 2020.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4

The Galaxy Tab S4 was announced alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 835 SoC and supports Linux on DeX mode to give users a PC-like experience. Launched with Samsung Experience 9.5 based on Android 8.1 Oreo, the Galaxy Tab S4 is now getting its second major Android OS update in the form of One UI 2.1 based on Android 10. At the time of reporting, the LTE variant of the tablet (model number SM-T835) is receiving the OTA in France, although the update is expected to make its way to other regions and/or variants in the coming weeks. The new build, tagged as T835XXU4CTF5, also brings in June 2020 security patches.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e

Users on our forums have reported that the Android 10/One UI 2.1 update is also rolling out for the Galaxy Tab S5e, the SM-T725 model to be precise, via software version T725XXU1BTF7. The update is currently available in the BTU region, which is Samsung’s code for the United Kingdom. The new build bumps the Android security patch level (SPL) to June 2020.

The combined changelog can be found below:

Thanks to the unchanged bootloader version in both these updates, experienced users can still go back to Android 9 Pie, though we would advise caution before doing so. The updates for the aforementioned devices are rolling out in batches, but you can skip the queue and download the new firmware packages directly from the Samsung update server using Frija.
