The Android 10 update has now arrived for the Galaxy Tab S6 on Verizon. The carrier is currently rolling out the big Android OS update for last year’s flagship Samsung tablet on its network. The update is rolling out over the air (OTA) and should reach all Tab S6 units on Verizon over the next few days.
The new update arrives with firmware version T867VVRU2BTC4 and packs the March 2020 Android security patch, which is quite disappointing. But what’s more disappointing is that the update doesn’t bring One UI 2.1, the latest iteration of Samsung’s custom Android skin.
Samsung released the Android 10 update for the international variants of the Galaxy Tab S6 earlier this month. The update brought One UI 2.1 to the devices.
Galaxy Tab S6 Android 10 update on Verizon
The Android 10 update for the Galaxy Tab S6 on Verizon only brings One UI 2.0. Version 2.0 of Samsung’s custom Android skin does bring plenty of new features and enhancements but there still are some features that are exclusive to One UI 2.1.
Camera features like Single Take, Night Hyperlapse, Pro Video mode, and improved Night Mode are currently exclusive to One UI 2.1.
One UI 2.1 also brings Music Share and Custom Filter features to Samsung Galaxy devices. Quick Share, Samsung’s alternative to Apple’s AirDrop, is also only available on Samsung devices running One UI 2.1.
As for One UI 2.0, it brings its own set of new features and enhancements to Samsung smartphones and tablets.
You get a redesigned camera UI, Sound Amplifier, Smart Reply, Live Transcribe, full-screen navigation gestures, Focus Mode, speed and time units converter in the calculator, Trash feature for Contacts and My files, and much more.
Samsung Daily replaces Bixby Home in Samsung devices on Android 10. The platform shows personalized content like news, weather, and more. It sits on the left of your device’s main home screen.
One UI 2.0 also brings a new multilingual translation feature, a text undo/redo feature, and an ability to search for music in Spotify on Samsung Keyboard. The new software also promises better text over wallpapers.
As always, updates are released in stages and may not available for all units simultaneously. You should get a notification when the update becomes available for your Galaxy Tab S6. You can also manually check for the update from the Software update section in your device’s Settings app.
Verizon may eventually bring One UI 2.1 to the Galaxy Tab S6 as well. However, it may not arrive anytime soon.
