Because sometimes the update can slow down the performance, because it is just an update on top of the old. It's the same thing with windows.

        My Tab3 Active was updated to UI4.1.1 last night with more than 1GB of data. Lots of features added specially for quick access to split screens. The battery drain seems to have slowed down even prior to update... maybe the battery memory has 'stabilised' after I used it regularly.

I have a Tab S6 Lite 2020 and there is no battery drain issue. This Tab Active3 definitely has a battery drain issue even if the battery saver is active.

          Ever since I discovered SwiftKey keyboard by Microsoft 4 years ago, I never used the Samsung Keyboard in any of my Samsung smartphone or tablet anymore.

            My major annoyance with this device, like with any other Android phone/tablet, is the fast battery drain. I guess the root cause of the problem is the kernel bring monolithic rather than microkernel. Another area where Samsung could improve is the keyboard: characters are too small and disable Show Lowercase Keys (different from caps lock) is not an option.

                  Proven and tested, the LTE version can be used as normal smartphone in calling. However, unless you really have a massive hand, you will struggle to hold it near your ear whilst making a voice call. Your best option is loudspeaker or headphone.

                      This device will receive Android 13 (to be released in 2022), Android 14 (to be released in 2023), and 2 additional years worth of security updates, correct?

                            With this device (SM-T577U/DS: LTE), phone calls cannot be made.
                            A couple of months ago, the app that links this device with another phone was updated, to be able to make calls through it.
                            When updating the app, it left me with a notification (which I mistakenly deleted and only half read it), which seemed to say that with the update to Android 12, the device could make phone calls. Does anyone know anything about this?
