Samsung has taken it upon itself to prove to the competition how to get better at the job of releasing new software updates, both major and minor, regularly over the last few years. Its latest efforts — those of releasing Android 13 and One UI 5.0 — are its best yet, with more than a dozen smartphones already having received the update.
Samsung also is often the first to release new security updates to various smartphones, too. But when it comes to tablets, the company has room to improve, specifically in one particular area: releasing new updates to all models in a particular tablet lineup. While all models in a flagship Galaxy S or Galaxy Note lineup almost always get new updates at or around the same time, Samsung creates days or even weeks-long gap between the release of updates for different models in every tablet lineup.
It’s bad that these costly flagship Galaxy tablets tend to go straight to the quarterly security update schedule upon launch, but the fact that Samsung also discriminates between models in the same tablet lineup is also a problem that needs fixing. It’s possible Samsung simply doesn’t consider tablets important enough as far as updates are involved.
Hopefully Samsung will figure out/fix for this as soon as possible.
