One UI 3.1 Upgrade (Android 11)
One UI 3.1 is designed to help you focus on what matters. Our visual redesign has improved the places you visit the most, like the Home screen and quick panel, to reduce distractions, highlight important information, and make your experience more consistent. Performance improvements will help apps run quicker while using less battery power. And One UI 3.1 puts control in your hands with new privacy controls, one-time permissions, and enhanced Digital Wellbeing.

Scroll down for a full list of changes.

Visual design
We’ve refreshed the look and feel of One UI 3.1 in lots of ways, big and small, from new, more consistent icons to smarter organization of the quick panel and notifications. Motion is smoother and more natural than ever, with improved animations and haptic feedback for common interactions. And the interface responds to different screen sizes to provide the best experience on any device, whether it’s a phone, foldable, or tablet.

Improved performance
We optimized One UI 3.1 with enhanced dynamic memory allocation, so apps run faster and perform better. We’ve also restricted background activities to provide better performance and power usage.

Better customization
• New image categories have been added to Dynamic Lock screen, and you can select up to 5 categories at once.
• On the Lock screen, you can add a widget to check your usage time.
• Get an interactive preview when setting a wallpaper.
• In Samsung Internet, you can reorder and lock tabs.
• New icons and Lock screen widgets make it easier to find and control your routines.
• Use Digital Wellbeing with separate personal and work profiles.

Enhanced features
Home screen and Lock screen
• Add widgets by touching and holding an app on the Home screen.
• Turn off the screen by double tapping on an empty space on the Home or Lock screen. (Set it up in Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures.)
• On the Lock screen, tap the clock area to see widgets like calendar, weather, and music.

Pictures and videos
• Take pictures quicker with improved auto focus and auto exposure.
• View, edit, and share pictures and videos more easily from Gallery.
• Find pictures and videos quicker with new search features and categories in Gallery.
• Revert edited pictures to their original versions at any time, even after they’re saved, so you never lose a shot.

Settings
• Settings has a new simpler look and feel. Your Samsung account is shown at the top, and Home screen settings are now easier to access.
• Find the settings you need more easily with new Search features. You’ll get better results for synonyms and common misspellings, and you can tap on tags to see groups of related settings.
• Quick settings buttons have been reduced to provide only the most commonly used features. You can also add buttons to create your own customized quick panel.

Samsung Keyboard
• Increased the number of input languages to 370.
• Made it easier to paste copied images and verification codes from text messages.
• Added emoji and sticker suggestions when you enter a text-based emoticon.
• Improved the keyboard layout to provide a larger space bar when entering web and email addresses.
• Reorganized Keyboard settings so it's easier to access frequently used settings.

Productivity
Maintain a healthy balance between work and life by minimizing repetitive and complicated tasks and handling them efficiently.
• New routines will be recommended based on your daily life and usage patterns.
• In Internet, you can hide the status and navigation bars for a more immersive experience and quickly translate webpages.
• You’ll be prompted to block websites that send too many pop-ups or notifications.
• You can browse and select cloud drive files from the file selection screen in My Files.
• You can now delete cache files in My Files to easily free up storage space.
• Events with the same start time are displayed together in the month and list views in Calendar.

Easy media and device control
Media and device control is easier with the improved media panel in notifications. You can see recently used media apps and quickly change the playback device. You can also check Android Auto settings in the Advanced features menu in Settings.

Identify and improve your digital habits
Improved Digital Wellbeing features make it easy to check how you're using your phone or tablet and help you form good digital habits. Check your usage while driving or see weekly changes in your screen time by function at a glance through upgraded weekly reports.

Accessibility for everyone
One UI 3.1 recommends useful accessibility features for you based on your usage. The improved Accessibility shortcut makes accessibility features easier to start and use. You can use the Speak keyboard input aloud feature to get voice feedback of your typing even when TalkBack is turned off.

Stronger privacy protection
You can now let an app access to your microphone, camera, or location just one time. Any permissions that an app hasn’t used in a while will be automatically revoked. You can no longer give apps permission to always see your location in the regular permission popup. To let apps access your location when they’re not in use, you need to go to the location permission page for the app in Settings.

Calendar
• Extract the date and address from the event title and recommend automatic registration.
• Receive notifications from SmartThings devices that also have specified schedule notifications.

Camera
• The performance of Camera has been improved

Display
• Eye comfort shield function has been added.
• The color temperature of the screen automatically adjusts for the time of day.

Reminder

Social Platform
• Synchronize valid links created on devices with the same registered Samsung account.
• The use of social media services has been simplified. It is possible to share profiles, photos, notes, schedules, and more with friends simply by logging in to your Samsung account.
Additional improvements
• In Clock, you can hear the time and preset name of the alarm read aloud when an alarm rings.

Some apps will need to be updated separately after the One UI 3.1 update.

You can no longer use Wi-Fi Direct to send files to other devices. You can use Nearby Share instead. You can still receive files using Wi-Fi Direct.

Reviews SM-T290

Update problems

This tablet was very good up until the summer of 2022 when it stopped updating all it did was update to 25% and then said that there was a firmware problem and it couldn't update. then recently I factory reseted my tablet and it didn't resolve the issue, I still can't update it until this day

TreagKitch 2023-07-03 22:37:38
Super Laggy

Having using T295(Wifi+SIM version) for quite some time, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this tablet. This tablet is SUPER LAGGY! Touch screen is so unresponsive with Delay, stuttering YouTube videos whine streaming on basic HD 720p Resolution. 2GB of RAM IS INSUFFICIENT even for basic social media browsing.

Ricochet 2023-07-02 15:00:08
A good carry

Great use, and a comfort easy to handle. It's so convenient that I'm glad to have it with about wherever.

Really nice tablet

i have had the galaxy tab 4 7.0 for a few years and i like samsung products and just wanted a new tablet so i went with the tab a 8.0 and it is a very nice tablet. it was very easy to set up and it has a lot of room. i like this tab so much that i gave my computer away.

Will do the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got it as a bundle package with a phone. It is a good add on

Great Tablet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this Tablet after purchasing my S21 phone and it is a great addition to the home for my kids to use. Very user friendly.

I loved it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it. Can't go a day without it !!

Jass 2022-10-13 21:37:25
Fantastic lifetime usability

i love this product! i first got my galaxy tab a in 2016 and it still works today! in 2017 i bought another tablet because my screen broke. these tablets have been through heat, cold and slight droppings. the storage is used quickly.

Andy 2022-10-13 21:37:19
Great Tablet with FHD display

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this not so long ago to replace an aging IPad. I quickly found this unit very versatile. I can watch FHD video, play games and even use it as navigation device. I tether Wi-Fi on the go with my ATT phone and it works efficiently as a navigation device. Very happy I bought this model.

Gmeister 2022-10-13 21:37:04
nice size tablet for reading

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] since i had a galaxy note 9 (2018) phone i wanted something with a bigger screen to help with reading. i thought that this (2019) tablet, would be as snappy or would do things as fast as my phone, but it is laggy and not as fast at doing simple things like email and google hangouts. but it lets me read the things i need to and it is bigger than my phone so it serves that purpose.

CyberKlop 2022-10-13 21:34:50
Dynamite Device!

i use several samsung phones/tablets for work and play. i work at parcel delivery management and use the tablet on the road. all of the samsung phones/tablets i've used are quite reliable and durable especially with a good case like otterbox.

DaringDave 2022-10-13 21:33:52
Great Tablet!

i love this tablet. it is quick, has a great looking screen and long battery life.

Wicked Guitar 2022-10-13 21:32:56
Really Disappointed

I bought this with the expectation that it would be full featured. It is not. Even though it comes with Android 9, Samsung has crippled the capabilities of this tablet. First even though it is touted as being able to watch movies this model does not have the ability in settings to share screen/smart view capabilities that I have on my tab A 10" which is an older less expensive model than this one. Second Samsung has removed the ability to store/run applications from the sim card which has been available for the last several generations of Android. So you only have the ability to store applications on main memory once that is full you are done adding applications you can NOT offload some of the applications onto the SIM card. SIM card is only for pictures, music and video storage nothing more.

rogerthat 2022-10-13 21:32:23
GREAT! UNDERATED

i bought this about 2 weeks ago and it works as advertised. (i mostly use it for Netflix, games, and social media.) This product is great for what you pay. (especially if you compare them to apple.)

John Rallison 2022-10-13 21:31:29
Slow!

i have owned several tab a 8 in and bought several for others. i bought this 2019 as an upgrade to 32 gigs. nothing is ever fast, i don't like the anything about it. doesn't update apps quickly. i'm still waiting for the same 5 to update and install since late night. i wish i had as good experience as with the other purchases.
