Samsung's rolling out the One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+. The two Fan Edition tablets are getting the update before their flagship cousins, and just a day after the newer Galaxy Tab S11+ and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
As has become the norm with One UI updates, South Korea is the first market where One UI 8.5 for the Tab S10 FE series is available. Both the Wi-Fi and cellular variants are getting the update, and a wider rollout targeting other countries should begin before the end of the month.
To download the update, head into your device's Settings > Software update menu and tap Download and install.
One UI 8.5 brings a refreshed visual design with transparent blur effects and floating UI elements, along with a smarter Bixby that understands natural language and lets you check past conversation history more easily.
The lock screen gets some nice touch-ups as well, with automatic layout adjustment for people and pet wallpapers, more clock customization options, and new downloadable interactive wallpapers. The update also improves connectivity with Storage Share across Samsung devices, Auto Hotspot enhancements, and faster Smart View connections.
One UI 8.5 also adds support for sharing files and media with Apple devices using Quick Share and AirDrop, though at the time of writing, it's only available for select Galaxy devices. Wider compatibility is expected to arrive over the coming months.
