Samsung has added another device to its list of One UI 7 recipients. The latest model to receive the update is the Galaxy Tab Active 5. The new version, which carries the build number X306NKOU5BYEB, is approximately 3 GB in size. It also includes the April 2025 security patch, addressing several system vulnerabilities. The update is currently being rolled out in South Korea, but it’s expected to expand to other regions in the coming days.
One UI 7 update is out for Galaxy Tab Active 5
Once One UI 7 becomes available in your country, users will receive an automatic update notification. If not, you can manually check by going to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. If the update is still unavailable, it likely hasn’t reached your region yet — in that case, waiting a little longer is recommended.
