Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019 get updated to Android 10 with One UI 2.1

One UI 2.1 is the latest iteration of Samsung’s custom skin on top of Android 10, which has recently been rolled out to the Galaxy Tab S4 and the Galaxy Tab S5e. After servicing the premium segment, the company is now bringing Android 10 to its budget tier tablets. Both the 8-inch and the 10.1-inch models of the Galaxy Tab A (2019) lineup have picked up the Android 10 update in different regions, although the One UI 2.1 layer found in these devices might lack a few ‘premium’ features.
