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 launched a new 50W charging adapter (EP-T5020) with dual ports. The product is available in select European countries and we hope the company will soon bring it to more markets. As there’s no phone capable of charging over 45W speed, the 50W adapter is still worth buying.
The New Samsung 50W adapter brings dual ports, allowing users to charge two Galaxy phones at 25W simultaneously. When both ports are used, the adapter will distribute 25W each, making it easier to get two Galaxy devices charged at the same time.
To get 50W speed (USD PD PPS protocol), you need to use the first port, usable to charge Galaxy Book laptops. For additional convenience, the secondary port is capped at 25W charging speed. This means you are not required to charge two devices to get 25W output.
Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, and M55 5G are some Samsung devices that support 45W fast charging. Most Galaxy phones and tablets have 25W charging support, which is not much less than Samsung’s 45W brick.
While the availability is limited, the 50W brick can be owned for €69.90. Meanwhile, Samsung also sells 65W triple-port EP-T6530, which you can buy for Galaxy Book laptops. Future Galaxy flagships should bring even more faster charging tech, it’s a long-standing demand.

Samsung is reviewing LockStar for Galaxy S24 AOD customization. The Korean community’s moderator confirmed that the latest flagship phones don’t support personalization of the always-on-display using Good Lock’s LockStar module.
Thanks to the new screens, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series brings an iPhone-like Always On Display feature. However, the company seemingly missed bounding it with Good Lock for customization. As a result, users are facing issues tweaking it through LockStar.
However, the latest input confirms that Samsung is considering LockStar support for Galaxy S24 AOD. This will allow users to renovate the always-on-display functionality on their device in various aspects including removal of certain elements.
LockStar doesn’t support AOD customization in the Galaxy S24 series. While an internal review is underway, a possible release may happen shortly. Meanwhile, the moderator hasn’t shared any specific timeline regarding the availability of the support.
Good Lock’s LockStar is one of the most popular plugins for Galaxy customization. Not only the lock screen, the LockStar also lets users tweak the AOD function. The suite will likely add support for the newly released phones well before July Unpacked.
