Samsung Starts Rolling Out One UI 5.1.1 Update to Galaxy Tab S7

Samsung seems to be on a roll when it comes to upgrading the software on its tablets. After releasing the One UI 5.1.1 update for the Galaxy Tab S8 series, the South Korean giant has now rolled it out for the Galaxy Tab S7 series. This move was expected, as Samsung had already announced that the stable One UI 5.1.1 update would begin rolling out to older foldable and tablet devices in August. The One UI 5.1.1 update will be made available for all of Samsung’s foldable phones released since 2020, as well as a wide range of tablets.

The One UI 5.1.1 update for the Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ comes with firmware version ending in DWH3, brings not only the exciting features of One UI 5.1.1 but also includes the July 2023 security patch. Stay up-to-date with the latest enhancements and security for your Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ with this update.

As of now, the One UI 5.1.1 update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series is being rolled out in select regions of Europe. However, the wider release is expected to happen soon. Please note that the timing of the update may vary depending on whether you have the LTE or Wi-Fi version of the tablet. Additionally, owners of the Galaxy Tab S7 FE will have to wait as the FE model follows a different update schedule compared to the Tab S7 and Tab S7+.

To check for available updates, open the Settings app on your tablet. Navigate to Software Update and tap on the “Download and Install” button.
