Galaxy Tab S10, Tab S8 models get January 2026 security update

Samsung is rolling out the January 2026 security update to the Galaxy Tab S10+, Tab S10 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S8, Tab S8+, and Tab S8 Ultra.

Last week, Samsung started rolling out the January 2026 security patch to its tablets. The brand first offered the update to the Galaxy Tab S9 series, and then to the Galaxy Tab S10 FE lineup. Now, the firm has released it for the Galaxy Tab S8 and the Galaxy Tab S10 models. It fixes 55 security issues present in the previous version of the OS.

The January 2026 security patch for the Galaxy Tab S8, Tab S8+, Tab S8 Ultra, Tab S10+, and Tab S10 Ultra is currently live in South Korea, Samsung’s home country. The update for the former is 357.74MB in size, and its firmware version ends with EZA3, whereas, the firmware version for the latter ends with CZA3 (via Samsung Community).

From what we could gather, Samsung is rolling out the update to the cellular as well as non-cellular variants of the five tablets.

Speaking of updates for the two tablet lineups, they will soon get a major software update, which will offer One UI 8.5 (Android 16 QPR2). It offers a new look and more features. The revamped user interface looks more sophisticated, is easier to use, and more customisable. You can check it out in our video below. Samsung is expected to release it after the Galaxy S26 launch.
