As you’d expect, the latest Android update also brings Samsung’s brand-new One UI software skin to these two-year-old tablets. The company made some changes to its user interface but still managed to maintain that familiar feel. Some notable features include device-wide night mode and kids mode besides Digital Wellbeing and Bixby 2.0. Although the rollout was limited to a few Asian markets until press time, the Korean company is expected to bring it out for global user base not too long from now.
Launched in February 2017, the Galaxy Tab S3 came featuring a 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display in 4:3 aspect ratio. It deployed the Snapdragon 820 processor which was paired with 4GB of RAM and had a four-speaker setup. It came preinstalled with Android 7.0 Nougat and was laterupgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo.
