SAMSUNG The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the company’s first device with Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 pre-installed. Shortly after the launch, the company rolled out an update to the Galaxy Tab S8 and Z Fold 3 series. Now, SamMobile has reported that the Galaxy Tab S7 series is also getting the same update in some regions. .
According to the report, One UI 4.1.1 Update based on Android 12L is present on the three-year-old Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ devices. The update for the Galaxy Tab S7 came with firmware version T870XXU2CVH3, while the Tab S7+ received the update with firmware version T970XXU2CVH3.
Currently, the update is rolling out in South Korea and France, and it is expected that the company will soon expand the update to more countries in the coming days.
What’s new with the update
The update brings Android 12L – a tweaked version of Android 12 optimized for larger screens – to these tablets. Additionally, the update also includes the August 2022 security patch along with several bug fixes and security improvements.
