Sadly, Samsung is keeping Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2017) under warps and doesn't want to unveil its launch date. The update comes with the software version G610FDDU1BQH9. Since the rollout is still in its early phase, some of you may not have received an automatic update notification on your device.

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab A is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and Samsung says that this will give you around 15 hours of Internet usage over WiFi or LTE.

Display-wise, it is likely to come with an 8-inch WXGA display with the resolution of 1280×800 pixels.

There is no word yet on when Samsung plans to launch the mid range tablet, especially since it missed the IFA boat last week. Flagship Galaxy devices are typically first in line to major Android upgrades.

The device will further be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor along with Adreno 308 for graphics.

The Galaxy S8 Android Oreo updates might roll out before the end of 2017 but the Galaxy S9 probably won't arrive until next year. It also includes the enhanced version of Doze. But being the next step down from the premium Galaxy Tab S, one would expect at least some punch, no matter how small.

Let's start with some basics. As soon as we get some details on when it is coming to the U.S. or Europe, we will let you guys know.

Every month, Google and Samsung release important security patches for Android devices. Stay tuned on Phone Radar for more details about the upcoming firmware updates for the Samsung Galaxy devices.

The new update will also bring the Picture-in-Picture mode which is already available for flagship Galaxy devices like Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8. In order to get the update, you will need to check for the update manually by heading over to Settings - About Device. On the bottom bezel, there is a fingerprint scanner and capacitive touch buttons.
