Samsung has rapidly distributed the April 2024 security patch update for its eligible Galaxy devices, but due to the long list of devices, the company is still not successful in distributing the update to all the devices at the same time. Now, with the latest development, Samsung has started rolling out the update for the Galaxy Tab A8.
Notably, the Galaxy Tab A8 series has started receiving the April 2024 security patch update in South Korea and in several European countries. More specifically, the Wi-Fi and LTE models of the Galaxy Tab A8 are getting the update with the firmware version numbers X200XXS3DXD5 and X205NKOS3DXD5, respectively, in South Korea. Meanwhile, the European units of the Galaxy Tab A8 LTE and Galaxy Tab A8 Wi-Fi are getting the update with the firmware version numbers X205XXS3DXD5 and X200XXS3DXD5, respectively.
The April 2024 security patch update doesn’t bring any new features or changes for your tablet, but it will provide you with a bunch of security enhancements that will surely provide some extra protection against external threats.
It is worth noticing that the Galaxy Tab A8 tables are receiving the first update after One UI 6.0, so if, after the installation of the major update, you are facing any type of issue, then the latest security patch update may help you get rid of that issue.
If you are using the Galaxy Tab A8 device in South Korea or any European country, then you should update your device to the latest update by simply going to the software update menu from the system settings.

Galaxy Tab S10 Series may be delayed, but rumored to be released alongside the Galaxy S25 phones
Samsung doesn’t follow a specific timeframe for introducing its flagship lineup of devices; for instance, the Galaxy Tab S8 series was launched in March 2022, while the Galaxy Tab S9 was launched in August 2023. There is almost a five-month gap in between, so the next Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra could be available with the Galaxy S25 series.
For the performance enhancement, Samsung is confused as to when it will provide which process for the Galaxy Tab S10 series. As Qualcomm officially takes the wraps off its Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus, it may face another issue as Qualcomm could unveil its Gen 4 processor in October. Along with this, it is unclear if the less expensive Galaxy Tab S10 and Galaxy Tab S10 Plus will launch next to the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.
According to some reports, the Korean giant is planning to introduce the dual chipset strategy with the Galax S25 series devices. It is expected that some models will feature the Exynos variant while the Snapdragon processor will power others. Some rumors also claim that the Exynos 2500 could be rolled out in two versions: one equipped with an Octa-core CPU cluster and the other equipped with a 10-core cluster.
The 10-core cluster equipped with Exynos 2500 could be specially tailor-made for the tablets, maybe for the Galaxy Tab S10 series. If that turns out to be true, then it will be more cost-effective, and the user may get the next flagship table at a low price.
However, if Samsung uses its in-house processor, the Exynos 2500, then it may not provide certain weight to the competition in Apple’s upcoming m3 chipset-powered iPad Pro lineup. Due to all these factors, the company may take time to release its next premium flagship tablet.
Samsung has rolled out the April 2024 security patch update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series. It has already rolled out the update in several countries, mainly Europe and Latin America. Now the device is starting to get the update in the US.
Verizon Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 Plus Receiving April 2024 Update in the USA
Notably, the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ are receiving the update on the Verizon network with the firmware version numbers T878USQS7DXD1 and T978USQS7DXD1, respectively. With the latest update, the device will have proper consistency in terms of performance and security.
For your information, the April 2024 update will bring you more than 40 fixes, of which Google has added 27 that enhance the Android OS functionalities. Along with this, Samsung has also added 17 more fixes that exclusively improve the functioning of the Galaxy devices.
Furthermore, the update could bring some new changes that internally improve the device’s functioning and provide enhancements for performance and stability. Along with this, if you are having any issues while using any of the functionality, you should update the device, as it may address the issue.
If you are using the Galaxy Tab S7 series of devices in the US bound for Verizon, then you should start getting a new update. To do that, go to the software update menu via system settings. If you don’t receive the update yet, then wait for some time, as it takes time to reach every unit.
