Samsung has stepped up its update game over the past few months and, as proof of that, the One UI 3.1 update is being released for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 a few months ahead of schedule. One UI 3.1 brings several features of OneUI 3.0 to Samsung devices, along with new productivity features for tablets. Given that Tab S6 ignored the One UI 3.0 update (just like the Galaxy Tab S7 did), this is an even bigger update for device owners than just a 3.0 to 3.1 update. The update arrives at around 2.2 GB, including the March 2021 security patches on Android 11 and, in Germany, the build number of the Tab S6 LTE version is T865XXU4CUB7.
As reported by AllAboutSamsungMax J., the One UI 3.1 update for the Galaxy Tab S6 was originally scheduled to arrive in May, but it looks like it’s already being released in Germany. Whether or not it will come to the rest of Europe soon, remains to be seen, but it is a good sign that tablet owners should at least wait for the update to arrive earlier than expected. You shouldn’t wait too long for an upgrade for those who have the Wi-Fi version of the Tab S6. Likewise, it is possible for an early update to happen for the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, which also had an update time planned for May. The upgrade from OneUI 2.5 to OneUI 3.1 also brings users the latest version of Android – Android 11.

If you want to see if the One UI 3.1 update based on Android 11 is now available for your Galaxy Tab S6, you can go to your device’s settings and manually check for an update. Those living outside Germany (or those with a Wi-Fi edition) may need to wait a little longer for the One UI 3.1 update to arrive, but I hope the update in the coming days will show that the update has arrived! If you receive the update, let us know in the comments.
