It’s been a busy year for Samsung as the Korean OEM continues to bring One UI 5.0 to its vast portfolio of devices. With the holidays just around the corner, Samsung is spreading some cheer by releasing the Android 13 update to the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Tab A7 Lite, A71 5G, and Galaxy M23 5G.
Samsung’s One UI 5 update arrives for the Galaxy Tab S7, S21 FE, and three other devices
Even more Galaxy devices are joining the One UI 5.0 list.
Samsung has been quite aggressive in rolling out One UI 5.0 to its phones and the "Fan Edition" AKA the FE variants of the Galaxy flagships have been no exception. After the stable Android 13 update started making its way to the Galaxy S20 FE in some parts of the world, the Korean OEM is now giving the same treatment to the Galaxy S21 FE. Furthermore, the Galaxy A71, Galaxy F62, Galaxy Note 10 Lite, and the Galaxy Tab S7 family have also picked up the One UI 5 update.
Android 12 update goes live for the US Galaxy A42 5G and Galaxy A71 5G
Samsung has started rolling out the Android 12 update for the Galaxy A42 5G and Galaxy A71 5G in the US. The latter also received One UI 4.1.
Compared to the global Android device variants, US models have a reputation for being slow with software updates. The OEMs hoped to improve upon that with their close collaboration with the carriers, but the results have been mixed at best. The US Samsung Galaxy A32 5G model, for example, received the One UI 4.1 update more than two weeks after its international counterpart. The saga continues, as the Korean OEM is now bringing Android 12 to two more phones in the US weeks after the global rollout. The US variants of the Galaxy A42 5G and the Galaxy A71 5G are the latest Samsung A-series devices to get a taste of One UI 4 with Android 12.

In order to stream videos in HD resolution from popular streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, your smartphone needs to have Widewine L1 certification. However, despite Widewine L1 certification, some devices aren't able to stream HD content on Netflix because the platform also has to manually whitelist devices to enable HD playback support. Over the last few months, Netflix has whitelisted several Samsung devices for HD and HDR10 support. Most recently, the company added the ASUS ZenFone 6, the ASUS ROG Phone II, and TCL 10 series to its HD/HDR supported list.
