The Galaxy Tab A 9.6 and Galaxy Tab E 8.0 are updated to Android Nougat

January 23, 2018

Although we all have the view already set on Android Oreo and what we want is to start seeing tablets with it, for the moment the vast majority can be happy if you receive an update to Android Nougat, so we are sure that many will they will be glad to read that the process is underway for their Galaxy Tab A 9.6 and Galaxy Tab E 8.0.


The Galaxy Tab A 9.6 start receiving Android Nougat in EuropeIt's been quite a while since the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 started receiving Android Nougat, but we were not sure that there would be more models from Samsung's medium and basic range that would have the same luck. After all, it could be an exception as a result of the popularity of this model and the relatively recent release, and in general, we are used to not having much good news in terms of updates.

Fortunately, Samsung has exceeded our expectations and has already begun to update the 9.6-inch model, even though it is already a couple of years old. The news is even better, because the update that is being received is Android 7.1, not even Android 7.0, and because it has started in Europe, so you should not take too long to receive it.

The Galaxy Tab E 8.0 adds to the good news

As if that were not enough, not long after it could be confirmed that the update to Android Nougat was underway, it has been discovered that it was also beginning to receive the Galaxy Tab E 8.0, launched last year, although in this case it seems that they are Only users in the United States benefited from it through a specific operator.

It is true, in fact, that making this model in our country is relatively complicated, and so there probably will not be many users who will benefit from the update. The model that has been sold here is the 9.6-inch model, which in fact is earlier, and of which, being realistic even though this news invites optimism, it surely will not receive it. We hope to tell you one of these days that we were wrong, in any case.

Samsung, for now the champion of updates for tablets

We can’t finish without dedicating a moment to congratulate Samsung for these two updates, because although from some point of view it may seem small and late, in fact they have much merit for what we are used to seeing in the field of tablets, where It is rare to see updates on tablets that are not high-end and even less with two years old.

So right now, for all those who are considering buying a new tablet and give some importance to the updates, it is only recommended that they take into account especially the Samsung tablets. By the way, which are also the most options when it comes to finding ROMs, as we saw yesterday when reviewing the tablets with Lineage OS available.
