(update) Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 and 8.0 receives Android 10 in US!

Back in July, Samsung started rolling out the OneUI 2.1 on top of Android 10 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 along with the A 10.1. However, the update wasn’t pushed out globally, limited for a few regions. Initially, the brand was pushing updates for units sold in India. Now, the brand has started pushing the same in the US.

Interestingly, the brand has also listed the device in its official tracker. You can read about that by clicking here. As you know, the new OneUi 2.1 comes with a lot of changes over the previous versions. As usual, a user in Reddit has shared information about this.

The new update comes with the version number “T290XXU3BTG1″ and also with the July 2020 security patch. Apart from this, some other Reddit users have also confirmed the same. The brand is rolling the update as OTA and will take some time to reach your device. Here, we have also got the detailed changelog about the same.

Old Story Continues

Samsung has pushed its OneUI 2.0 on top of Android 10 to most of its eligible smartphones. Now, the brand has started pushing updates to the tablets. Recently, the brand has started rolling out OneUI 2.1 on top of Android 10 for its Samsung Galaxy S4, and Galaxy Tab S5e. And earlier today, the brand has pushed the Android 10 update for its Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab A 8.0.

As of now, the brand is only rolling update for the LTE variants of these devices. That means the update for Wi-Fi variants will come later. However, there is no clarity about the version of OneUI i.e. whether OneUI 2.0 or OneUI 2.1. The update for the Samsung Galaxy A 10.1 comes with version number T515XXU4BTFK, and the other device i.e. the Galaxy A 8.0 comes with the build number i.e. P205DXU5BTFB. As said, we don’t know which OneUI is rolling out for these devices, and it comes with the July 2020 patch. From the last six months, Samsung has improved its speed of giving Android updates for its devices.

The Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5e fall in the premium segment while the Galaxy Tab A10.1 and Galaxy A8.0 fall in the budget segment. So, we don’t expect Samsung to roll out OneUI 2.1 for its budget tablets. It is confirmed that the premium tablets are receiving OneUI 2.1 updates. As of now, there are no manual links for updating the device. Head over to Settings and tap on System Updates for downloading the update.
