Flagship Galaxy Tabs Lag on Security Patches
29 Mar
Summary
- Samsung's flagship tablets receive quarterly, not monthly, security updates.
- Premium devices get a less frequent update schedule than some cheaper models.
- The latest update for these tablets does not include the newest security patch.
Samsung's high-end Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra tablets have been placed on a less frequent security update schedule.
Despite their premium positioning and high price tags, these flagship devices are set to receive security updates only once every three months. This quarterly schedule is slower than the monthly updates provided to some of Samsung's more budget-friendly devices.
Adding to user concerns, the most recent security update distributed to the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra does not include the very latest security patch, potentially leaving these premium tablets exposed to known vulnerabilities. This situation contrasts with the expected security support for high-end technology.
