In a world like this: Where Samsung gives 3 major Android OS updates, realme is not giving any update to its latest Pad
After Google, Samsung is known as the fastest Android 12 update provider for its devices. Not only Galaxy phones, but the company’s last year’s tablet lineup has also received the stable One UI 4.0 update, which is based on the Android 12 OS.
While the Korean tech giant is impressing consumers with the best software support, a China-based company – realme further proved why we should prefer Samsung. In a recent development, realme disclosed that its four months old tablet won’t be updated to the Android 12.

Q. Will realme Pad be updated to Android 12?
A. No, realme Pad will not be updated to Android 12, but will keep receiving security and performance updates throughout its software lifecycle.
As you can see in the phrases above, realme confirmed in a weekly FAQ post that the realme Pad will not get the Android 12 update. Meanwhile, the company will provide new security patches and performance updates throughout its software lifecycle.
realme Pad
Back in September 2021, realme launched the realme Pad pre-loaded with Android 11 OS. This mid-range tablet is equipped with MediaTek Helio G80 chipset coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, 10.4-inch LCD display with 2000×1200 pixel resolution, while the pricing starts at $190.
Undoubtedly, it’s shame to see, realme won’t bring any single Android OS upgrade to its tablet, even it’s just four months old in the market. If we talk about compatibility, its Helio G80 processor is not even two years old and capable of Android 12 OS.
Samsung tabs
Last month, Samsung released the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update to its flagship tablet lineup – Galaxy Tab S7 in various markets. To be mentioned, all Samsung devices including smartphones and tablets are eligible for two generations of Android updates.
At the same time, the Korean tech giant offers three major Android OS upgrades to its flagship Galaxy phones and tablets. While the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup is coming soon, it will also introduce three major OS support, at the same time, the recently launched Galaxy Tab A8 is also eligible for two.
Well, realme should provide at least an Android update to its realme Pad tablet for a bit of satisfaction for consumers. However, the company can deliver the big-screen focused Android 12L instead of 12. Anyways, Galaxy fans no need to worry as Samsung is rapidly extending its after-sales service!
Samsung issued a rare apology shortly after announcing the 3Q24 earnings estimation. The frank apology comes from the newly appointed Head of DS Division and VC at Samsung Electronics, Yong-Hyun Jeon.
Through a press release, Samsung’s leadership extended its deepest apology to customers, investors, and employees. The announcement highlights several potential decisions as part of reclaiming the edge in the mobile industry.
Samsung VC’s statement:
“We have fallen short of market expectations, causing concern not only about our fundamental technological competitiveness but also about the future of our company.”

Samsung’s operating profit declined by 12.84% compared to the previous quarter. The company managed to increase its sales in Q3, but it fell short of expectations. The company eventually failed to secure significant growth despite the AI boom.
Samsung reiterates its commitment to turn crises into opportunities through challenges, innovation, and perseverance. The company’s leadership team will take the lead in overcoming this crisis, the Newsroom post states.
Potential decisions eyeing long term growth:
- Samsung will restore our fundamental technological competitiveness.
- Samsung will ensure fundamental competitiveness.
- The development of new technologies that do not yet exist in the world and achieving unparalleled quality are the only ways for Samsung to rise again.
Preparation before deployment:
- Samsung will pave the way forward, reigniting the passion it’s known for.
- Samsung won’t adopt a mindset of merely defending anymore, but it will realm itself with a spirit of challenge, racing toward even higher goals.
Organizational reshuffle:
- Samsung said to closely re-examine the organizational culture and working methods as well as immediately correct anything that needs fixing.
- When the company identifies issues in the field, it will openly discuss and fiercely debate them to drive improvements.
