It looks like only the Verizon variant of the tablet has received the update so far.<\/p>\n
Late last month, Samsung rolled out<\/a> a new security update to the Galaxy S7<\/a>, a flagship phone that was released four and a half years back. As spotted by the folks at Android Police<\/em><\/a>, Samsung is now rolling out a new security update<\/a> to the Galaxy Tab S2<\/a> on Verizon. The tablet was announced in July 2015, seven months before the Galaxy S7.<\/p>\n The latest update, which arrives as version NRD90M.T818VVRS4BTJK, brings the October 2020 Android security patch<\/a> to the tablet. If you own a Galaxy Tab S2 on Verizon, you can now check for the update manually by tapping the Menu Key to open the Settings app and heading over to About Device > Software updates > Check for Updates<\/em>.<\/p>\n What is a little strange, however, is that the Galaxy Tab S2 isn’t even mentioned in Samsung’s Android security updates list. The oldest Galaxy Tablet on the list is the Galaxy Tab S3<\/a>, which was released in April 2017 and is included under “current models for other regular security updates.”<\/p>\n As confirmed<\/a> by the company earlier this year, the best Samsung tablets<\/a> will now receive three major OS upgrades, along with regular security updates. While the Galaxy Tab S7<\/a> series will receive updates through 2022, the Galaxy Tab S6<\/a> tablets will continue to get updates through 2021.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n $629 at Amazon<\/a> The Galaxy Tab S7 is a solid upgrade over last year’s Galaxy Tab S6. It has a vibrant 120Hz screen and comes with the same new low-latency S Pen as the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. You also get great battery life, fast performance, and a premium design.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n It looks like only the Verizon variant of the tablet has received the update so far.<\/p>\n What you need to know<\/p>\n Samsung has rolled out a new update for the Galaxy Tab S2 on Verizon.
