Samsung has started rolling out the much-awaited One UI 6.1 update for Galaxy Tab S7 FE. At the time of writing, the update is accessible to Verizon cellular models; a wider rollout to commence in a matter of time.
The update for the Tab S7 FE comes with the UP1A.231005.007.T738USQU8DXE1 software version. It is a major incremental upgrade, which means it requires a huge chunk of storage space and data for installation.
Verizon is pushing the new software upgrade to the Fan Edition tablet with the February 2024 monthly security patch instead of the newer May security update. Another thing to keep in mind is, this update doesn’t bring any of the new Galaxy AI features.
One UI 6.1 update for Galaxy Tab S7 FE comes with features like enhancements for better battery lifespan, ability to customize alarms, Call & Message Continuity, a whole new way to manage Samsung account, and more.
Here’s the complete list of changes coming with One UI 6.1 update.
- Device Care > Battery Protection
- Extend your battery’s lifespan.
- Choose from several battery protection options to help maintain your battery’s capacity over the lifetime of your phone.
- Clock

- Gallery

- The Gallery app lets you copy a subject from one image, then paste it into another. Touch and hold a subject to copy it, then touch and hold an empty area in another image to paste it.

- Samsung account family groups let you easily share things with loved ones and create accounts for your kids. Once you create a family group, you’ll get access to exclusive family sharing and parental control features in Samsung apps as well as up to 30 GB of free cloud storage to share all your family photos.

If you own the Galaxy Tab S7 Fan Edition and reside in the US, then you may have already received the update on your device. If not, you can manually check for the update by going to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install.
Remember to back up your important data before installing the update. No, the update will not erase your data, but take a backup just in case. Also, charge your phone to at least 50%.
