The new flagship tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 will receive an even more capacious battery than its predecessor
Samsung will endow its flagship tablet Galaxy Tab S9 with an even larger battery than the S8 currently has.
The novelty will receive an element with a capacity of 8400-8500 mAh against 8000 mAh for the current model. To be more precise, the nominal capacity is known to be 8160 mAh, but the typical one will be, as usual, higher.
Samsung is also preparing the S9 Plus and S9 Ultra models, but there is no data on their batteries yet. It is quite possible that there will also be strengthening waiting for us there. The new tablets are expected to be introduced in the summer along with the new foldable Galaxy Z.

Global HyperOS released for Xiaomi Pad 5 tablet
Xiaomi Pad 5 was released in August 2021 with Android 11 and was supposed to eventually receive Android 13 with the MIUI 14 interface. But MIUI 14 will no longer be available for this model – the latest HyperOS system has been released instead. Moreover, this time we are not talking about the Chinese version of the tablet, but about the global one.
Xiaomi Pad 5 users outside of China have started receiving the HyperOS beta version number 1.0.1.0.TKXMIXM. For now, it is only available to Mi Pilot program members. If no critical bugs are found, the system will be released as an over-the-air update for all device users. The update size is 1.6 GB.
HyperOS version 1 will be the last official software for Xiaomi Pad 5; there will be no more global updates for this model.

Samsung promises eight years of software and Android updates. The company has expanded support for corporate tablets and smartphones
Samsung now offers one of the longest supports on the market for a number of its latest smartphones: up to 7 years of software updates, and this includes the operating system. But the company went further and increased this period to 8 years! True, not for smartphones.
Tablets will receive updates for 8 years, but not all, but only those aimed at the corporate market. Smartphones for the same market will have 7 years of updates. So far, the only tablet for which 8 years of support has already been confirmed is the Galaxy Tab Active5. The Galaxy Xcover7 smartphone offers 7 years. At the same time, at the launch of these devices they announced 5 years of support.
For the enterprise market, software support is often much more important than for the consumer market. As for tablets, they are replaced less often than smartphones, so Samsung’s actions here are quite logical.
