If you have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4, which is one of the tablets with the best screen that can be found in the market, there is good news for you. And these come in the form of an update to its operating system, since it has just been known that this device has already begun to receive a new firmware based on Android Lollipop.
We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 only WiFi version and the new update is an important novelty, since this product range, compared to that of phones, is much slower when it comes to making advances in its operating system. The fact is that the new firmware is a reality and, specifically, it includes the version Android 5.0.2 (replacing KitKat).
The TouchWiz interface is maintained, so the normal appearance of the operating system does not change except for specific Lollipop add-ons, such as Material Design. By the way, it must be said that the final version of the update has arrived somewhat later than expected, since the news regarding the tests with this was already known in February, which shows that some kind of difficulty was must have found.
Ways to get the update
The new update has a build date of April 19, 2005, so it wasn't long ago that the right point was found to make it official. The deployment of this, which has a version of T700KXU1BOD4, It has started in a staggered way, so in some regions we will have to wait a little longer to get it (it is always possible to get the firmware itself and proceed with the installation with Odin on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4, something that as soon as we check its operation we will indicate).
It has been reported that the usual installation processes are contemplated for the arrival of Android Lollipop to the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4, so it will be possible to receive this new version of the operating system via OTA (directly in the terminal) or, failing that, using the Samsung Kies software. Here is a video in which you can see what the tablet looks like with the trial version of Android 5.0.2:
