As the stable version of One UI 7 approaches its release, the South Korean tech giant has released the February 2025 security update for two of its popular tablet models: the Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra.
Comprehensive Security Enhancements
The February 2025 update addresses over 34 security vulnerabilities, including those identified by Google and Samsung. These vulnerabilities cover a wide range of potential threats, including:
