The state of Android tablets is less than ideal, with several big players opting to not release any in the past few years. Samsung, however, still believes in the tablet ecosystem and has consistently released some decent-tier tablets such as the Galaxy Tab S4, which is their flagship offering. Today, the tablet is set to receive its Android Pie update in the US. The release was inevitable, considering that international variants of the Galaxy Tab S4 had already started receiving the update a few days ago. Here’s the full changelog according to Samsung’s website:
Upgraded One UI for Android Pie
One UI brings you Android Pie, with exciting new features and a whole new look and feel based on feedback from users in Samsung and Google.
We recommend that you back up your important data to keep it safe before the upgrade.
Some apps, including Calculator, Samsung Internet, Samsung Health, Samsung Notes, Samsung Members, and Samsung Pay, need to be updated individually after you update your OS.
Here’s what’s new.
