As of this writing, the Galaxy Tab S6 is receiving the February update in Germany. The rollout should reach more European countries as well as other regions in the coming days. The latest update for the three-year-old Samsung tablet comes with the firmware version T865XXU5CVB1. Samsung’s official changelog for this update only mentions the February SMR and that’s probably it. We aren’t hopeful of the Galaxy Tab S6 receiving any new features with the latest software release. As far as security fixes are concerned, Samsung has already confirmed that this month’s patch includes fixes for over 60 vulnerabilities. These include fixes from the Korean brand as well as Google. Several of those vulnerabilities are labeled to be of “critical” severity. They could potentially cause extensive damages to users if exploited in the wild. Thankfully, Samsung is much quicker than many other Android OEMs when it comes to releasing the latest security patches to its devices. As said before, the company has already seeded the new SMR to several Galaxy smartphones. These include the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip, and a bunch of other mid-ranger. You can expect more eligible Galaxy devices to join the party soon.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 receives the latest security update
Launched in mid-2019, the Samsung Galaxy tab S6 has been in the market for nearly three years now. The device arrived with Android 9 Pie onboard and has since received updates to Android 10 and Android 11. It’s unlikely to receive the Android 12 update. Meanwhile, the aging tablet continues to pick up new security patches now and then. So if you’re rocking this 2019 Galaxy Tab model, you should be receiving a new update sooner than later. Watch out for a notification for the OTA (over the air) release in the coming days. You can also open the Settings and navigate to Software update >Download and install to check for the update manually.
