Android Central’s Take
I have to admit, seeing seven years of support on a mid-range tablet is a welcome change for digital longevity. Still, the extra $100 feels like a parental tax. It feels like I’m paying for a plastic case, some stickers and software features that should be standard on every Galaxy device. While it’s good that this tablet gets security updates as your child gets older, I know how quickly kids can damage a device. Samsung is focusing on long-term software support, but I suspect the tablet may face other issues until the 2033 update arrives.
