Will SM-P613 ever get Android 15 ?

[Auroran]

The last update to SM-P613 (Tab S6 Lite 2022) was in early June.  It brought the Android security level up to 1 May 2025.  However, the tablet is still on Android 14, even though the Galaxy A35 (for example) has already updated to Android 16.

Will SM-P613 ever get Android 15, or is the tablet essentially now unsupported (even though the original documented promise was 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security support)?

Hi @Auroran  Welcome to the Samsung community. unfortunately the 2022 version of the Tab S6 lite will not receive Android 15  (one UI7)  and support has reached the end of the line with security updates.https://www.sammobile.com/news/these-samsung-tablets-have-stopped-receiving-firmware-updates/

The 2022 tab s6 lite stopped all system updates 4 months ago. There won't be any more.

Samsung promised 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates.

So which other devices has Samsung lied about?

I am bitterly disappointed by the early end-of-support. I bought this tablet in 2023 under the understanding that Samsung would provide four years of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. This is literally what I was told by the staff at the store. Now, my tablet has become obsolete after less than two years!

Below is Samsung’s official policy announcement from February 10, 2022:
"Eligible Galaxy devices with four generations of One UI and five years of security updates1 include:
[...] Galaxy Tablets: Galaxy Tab S8, S8+, S8 Ultra and upcoming Tab S series devices"

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) was released in May 2022, i.e. a few months after this new policy announcement. It would be highly disappointing if Samsung chose not to honor this commitment.

At present, the new Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is being advertised with “up to seven generations of Android OS upgrades.” After the disappointing experience with the Tab S6 Lite (2022), how seriously should I - or any other customer -take that pledge?

I hope Samsung will now demonstrate some goodwill, either by extending software support for the Tab S6 Lite (2022) to align with the policy, or by offering a more generous trade-in credit toward a newer model. This would go a long way in restoring customer trust and confidence in Samsung’s commitments.
