Galaxy Tab S7 S Pen feature update is live, bringing Dolby to DeX

Samsung has promised us that a new firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series will go live before the end of the month, and the company is keeping its word. The Galaxy Tab S7 series is now getting a new S Pen feature update in Europe and happens to include the latest March 2021 security patch.

Galaxy Tab S7 + owners in Germany – and possibly other countries – should now be able to download the firmware version T976BXXU1BUBB of the Settings app, and the firmware will also be available for download from our archive soon. The rollout started with the Galaxy Tab S7 +, but the base model shouldn’t be far behind.

New S Pen to text feature is live together with Samsung Free, Dolby for DeX

The latest firmware update for Galaxy Tab S7 series adds a new S Pen to text feature that allows you to use the S Pen in more areas, including address boxes, and it makes document scanning a bit more convenient as the feature is more easily accessible .

In addition, the new update introduces Samsung Free, as well as Dolby support in DeX mode and improves the stability of the platform. The fingerprint scanner should have also improved, but no additional details were included in Samsung’s official changelog. If you notice any changes, let us know in the comment section below.
