Software

The tablets were released with Android 12 and One UI 4.1. Samsung has promised 4 Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates to the Galaxy Tab S8 series (meaning support may end in 2027). [11]

The first commercial OS upgrade, One UI 5.0, was released on November 14, 2022. [12] Major improvements include a revamped user interface and more colors for the Color Palette feature which is Samsung’s take on Material You design. The company added OCR (Optical Character Recognition) which is a feature that extracts text from images. Then on May 10, 2024, the One UI 6.1 update was released for the fanuky in more than 29 European and Middle East countries, [13] which brings many new features, including Galaxy AI, which is a suite of AI-powered features that should come pretty handy to you in day-to-day usage, new image editing capabilities, and UI customization options. And then on April 28, 2025, Samsung began rolling out the One UI 7 update to all devices, which include a completely revamped setup UI backported from the Galaxy S25 series. In addition, also integrated Galaxy AI across supported devices. Features included Circle to Search, Live Translate, Interpreter, Note Assist, and Transcript Assist, alongside new tools such as Now Bar, Now Brief, and AI Select. [14] [15] [16] Finally on October 16, 2025, Samsung will release the One UI 8 update based on Android 16, making it the last major OS update for the series. [17]

Regions

Starting with the Galaxy Tab S8 series, the CSC codes are consolidated together. This means that Samsung will speed up the firmware update process for these devices in more regions. Fewer Country Specific Codes (CSCs) means that official Samsung software updates will reach local markets faster. [18]

Some countries on this list may be shown separately during the initial setup process.

OXM

This CSC group applies to the rest of the world. These CSC codes will work for all variants unless specified.

Regions/carriers marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be used with the Call and Text on Other Devices feature.

South Korea

Wi-Fi only variants sold in this market do not have any carrier-specific CSC codes, but they still use the OXM Multi-CSC for expanded language and region support unlike their cellular counterparts, which use the OKR Multi-CSC.

North America

Wi-Fi only variants sold in this market do not have any carrier-specific CSC codes, but they still use the OXM Multi-CSC for expanded language and region support unlike their cellular counterparts, which use the OYM/OYN and OYA/OYV Multi-CSCs for the US and Canada, respectively.
