Last week I took a friend with their Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) to the Samsung service plaza in Vermont. The unit went in with Android 4.3 and came back re-flashed with Android 5.1.1
That is GREAT! However, before I praise them too much; how many units were sold? And shouldn't that be enough for them to have a small team provide updates to the latest version of Android that the device can actually support, which I would think would be newer than 5.1.1 ?
Samsung seem to be in the habit of re-flashing their phones and tablets for free.
Also, without being too cynical, I hope.... is it done to /help/ get the user using their own junk apps? So, an increase or re-activation of the bloatware?
This was the SM-P600, not the SM-P605 - the wifi-only version, not the version with SIM-card support.
I really think that there should be more longer term support to keep these devices safe and secure at the very least. Even if the device can't take advantage of some newer hardware features. And I think the manufacturer should be obliged to allow and facilitiate users to remove apps that they don't want on their own devices. Kind Regards AndrewM
