Samsung is dispatching the One UI 5.1 update for the Galaxy Tab S8 series devices in the UK. This feature-rich update for your tablet will make multitasking easier on its large screen as well as will add many advanced features that will completely enhance your experience.

On the other side, the company is also installing the February 2023 Android security patch with this major update so that customers can enjoy the latest privacy optimizations and uninterrupted functionality.
