The 4G variant of the Galaxy A51 has also received a similar bump on the Android security patch level (SPL) through its One UI 3.1 update. Such an early security patch release is possible because of the fact that Google notifies Android Partners about the Android framework and Linux kernel issues listed in a particular Android Security Bulletin (ASB) at least 30 days before the public release. Now, four more devices from the Korean OEM’s portfolio – the Galaxy A52, the Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy Tab S6 – have picked up new updates with the April 2021 patchset.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Review: The Best Tablet Android has to Offer?
Here's our review of the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, a flagship Android tablet from the Korean manufacturer with top-of-the-line specs.
While Android tablets seem stagnant compared to Apple's tablets, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 may just be the only good tablet that can compete with the iPad. Priced starting at ₹59,999 (~$847), the Galaxy Tab S6 offers top-of-the-line specifications that compete directly with the iPad Pro. With the optional keyboard folio case, the Tab S6 aims to be the laptop replacement that some of you are looking for. However, many tablets before the Tab S6 have tried this strategy with little success. So, is the Galaxy Tab S6 any different? We'll take a look at this question in our review of the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab S6.
Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy Tab S6 are now supported by TWRP
The unlockable bootloader Snapdragon variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 series as well as the Galaxy Tab S6 have official TWRP support.
Samsung sells its flagship Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series in different processor configurations depending on the region. The US, China, and Hong Kong versions of the company's flagships get Snapdragon SoCs, while the rest of the world gets Exynos chips. This year, the US/China/Hong Kong variants of the Samsung Galaxy S10 phones featured the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, while the rest of the world got the Exynos 9820 variant. It was the same story with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, with the Snapdragon 855 being restricted to the aforementioned three regions, and the rest of the world getting the international Exynos 9825 variant. While the international Exynos variants have unlockable bootloaders, the bootloaders of the US carrier Snapdragon variants are not unlockable. The story gets more complicated when it is known that there are some variants (the Hong Kong variant, for example) of the Snapdragon Galaxy S10/Galaxy Note 10 phones that do have unlockable bootloaders that allow for rooting, flashing TWRP, and more.
