About a month ago, the refreshed 2022 Galaxy Tab S6 Lite got a taste of Android 13 and One UI 5. And now, SamMobile reports that the OG, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite from 2020 also gets the update. However, the update’s availability is currently limited, so keep that in mind.
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2020 gets Android 13 and One UI 5
For now, only the LTE model of the budget tablet is getting the update. This is the SM-P615 model. Soon, the Wi-Fi only version, SM-P610, will also receive the update. For now, Tab S6 Lite users in France are getting the update, but we expect it to roll out to other countries soon. One UI 5.0 brings a new taskbar to Galaxy Tabs. The update also improves multitasking and gives Galaxy Tab users a more desktop-like experience. Yes, you will also get the new multi-window gestures for a seamless split-screen experience.
But that’s not all. You also get better animations for the recent apps screen, a new “Connected devices” section in settings, and an updated lock screen customization menu. Overall performance gains are also to be expected thanks to the optimizations that the update brings.
Interestingly, this update comes with the November 2022 security patch for the Tab S6 Lite. The firmware version of the update is the version P615XXU4FWA5.
Tab S6 Lite users in France should be able to download the new update by going to Settings > Software Update and then tapping “Download and Install”. Users in other countries will probably have to wait a bit before they can enjoy the update, but it will probably happen very soon.
