Simplified Home screen grid
Your Home screen now looks even better than before. A new standard grid layout keeps things symmetrical and makes it easier to use One UI widgets in standard sizes.
Portrait/landscape Home screen customization
Keep your Home screen looking its best no matter how you're holding your tablet. You can customize your portrait and landscape Home screen layouts separately. The same apps and widgets will appear in both layouts, but you can move them around and resize them separately.
Customize your app and widget style
Make your Home screen look just the way you like it. You can now adjust the size of app icons and choose whether or not to show text labels below app icons and featured widgets. You can also adjust shape, background color, and transparency in the settings for each widget.
Auto hide taskbar
Save more screen space for your apps by automatically hiding the taskbar when you open an app. To make it come back, swipe up slowly from the bottom of the screen.

Each filter allows fine-tuned adjustments of intensity, color temperature, contrast and saturation, making it easier to get the look you want.

Create groups of alarms that you want to control together in the Clock app. You can turn off all the alarms in one group with a single tap.

Connect and share
Easily connect to nearby devices
It's easier than ever before to connect to other Samsung devices such as TVs, phones, PCs, earbuds, and more. Tap Nearby devices in the quick panel to see devices available near you, then drag a device to your tablet to instantly connect. You can also tap on a device to see the features available when connected to your tablet. For example, when you tap on a TV, you’ll see an option to start Smart View.
Recommended devices for Quick Share

Protect your security
Stay safe from security threats
Auto Blocker does even more to protect you from cyber attacks when Maximum restrictions is turned on. 2G networks are now blocked, and your tablet won't automatically reconnect to non-secure Wi-Fi networks. These restrictions can help prevent an attacker from intercepting your network traffic.
Battery and charging
More options for power saving
You now have more control over what happens when your tablet is in Power saving mode. Choose exactly the features you want to limit to save the amount of battery that's right for you. You can even change these options while Power saving is on.

When you turn on Battery protection, you can now adjust the maximum charging level anywhere between 80% and 95%.
New charging effect
When you plug in a charger, the charging confirmation is smaller and appears at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle to prevent interruptions while still making it easy to check the charging status.

Even more improvements
Watch videos again
In Video Player, a button will appear at the end of each video that lets you start the video over again from the beginning.
Improved contacts list
For a more consistent experience, the same contact list now appears in both the Phone app and Contacts app. Menus and options are the same in both locations so you can always find what you're looking for. When searching for contacts, contacts you’ve searched for frequently appear at the top of the search results, helping you find the right person quickly.
Custom place labels
