The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G get?

Released in January 2020, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G received security patches until January 2024: 4 years in total.

Among the 31 Samsung tablets in our database, 1 were supported for less time and 17 for longer. The median is 4 years and 1 month.

Across all brands, the median for tablets is 6 years.

The last patch came out 2 years and 9 months ago.

Two schedules overlap here. New system versions stop in January 2023, security patches in January 2024. In between, the device stays on its last version but still gets fixes for security holes.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after January 2024 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
