The Android Oreo update was previously released for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet in the UK and now the update is coming to the US.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet in the US has now started to receive the update, and it has been released as an over-the-air update. This means that users do not need to connect their device to a computer to download the update; it can be done directly from the tablet itself.
What’s New in the Android Oreo Update?
The Android Oreo update for the Galaxy Tab S3 also includes Samsung Experience 9, which brings a host of new features and improvements to the user interface. The update is around 1.2GB in size, so it is recommended to download it over a Wi-Fi connection to avoid using up your mobile data.
Some of the key features of Android Oreo include:
– Picture-in-Picture Mode: This allows users to continue watching a video in a small window while using other apps.
– Notification Dots: These provide a quick way to see which apps have notifications without pulling down the notification shade.
– Autofill Framework: This feature makes it easier to fill in forms and passwords by remembering your information.
– Improved Battery Life: Background app limits help to extend battery life by reducing the activity of apps running in the background.
How to Update Your Galaxy Tab S3
The update should be available for your Galaxy Tab S3 tablet as of now, and you can check to see if the update is available from the settings menu. Here are the steps to check for and install the update:

3. Download Updates Manually: Tap on “Download updates manually” to check if the update is available.
