Samsung has begun shipping the latest version of its One UI 2.5 GUI to last year’s flagship Galaxy Tab S6 tablet. The update will bring the September Android security patch.
According to SamMobile, the update is currently being rolled out in Germany for Wi-Fi and LTE models. Firmware versions T860XXU3BTI2 and T865XXU4BTI1 respectively.
One UI 2.5 brings a lot of new features to the Galaxy Tab S6, including improved multi-window support, sidebar enhancements, and DeX wireless functionality. The latter feature allows users to run DeX on compatible TVs without a cable. Galaxy Tab S6 owners will also see improved Wi-Fi performance. In addition, a menu for viewing Wi-Fi speed has been added to the firmware
Also, owners of the Galaxy Tab S6 with One UI 2.5 will be able to quickly connect to a Wi-Fi network by requesting a password from a device that is already connected to this network. There is something similar, for example, in MIUI from Xiaomi.
So far, according to user reports, the update applies only to Germany, that is, until the global launch will have to wait a bit. But you can check for updates manually by going to Settings, Software Updates, and clicking Download and Install. You can also find an archive with the update on the Web, but many advise to wait for the OTA update for peace of mind.
