In the middle of 2019, Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S6 (our review). With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, a 2K AMOLED display, and up to 8GB of RAM, the Galaxy Tab S6 was, and still is, the most powerful Android tablet from the Korean company. The Galaxy Tab S6 launched with Samsung’s One UI software on top of Android 9 Pie, but now, the update to Android 10 is rolling out. The update also brings Samsung’s latest One UI 2.1 software with a plethora of new features.
