I certainly hope South Afrcan networks will also receive the OTA firmware update for Tab S (LTE) 10.5 very soon!

If not, it will mean that users of this powerfull tablet would have bought a bad deal not getting support within 18 months.

Also if this is the case I will not supoort Samsung ever again. I will rather buy a full Android Google branded product or Apple.

Samsung wants us to support them, but they do not want to support us...... sad.... waiting so long...

    AnonD-314083, 26 Aug 20165.0.2 lags and hangs on tab s.battery is the least problemTab S 10.5 display is QHD. But processor is not enough to handle QHD. That is the main reason for lagging. We will face the same issue in any OS with Tab S 10.5. If they provide option to downgrade to FHD then lag issue will be resolved.
    please share your feedback with Marshmallow. Any major issues?

                Nice! Well, I might get this tablet after all! I really hate the 4:3 format of the second gen... And the lack of IR blaster.

                    sr777, 26 Aug 2016Yes, and new OS versions slow down older devices. I don't ... moreMarshmallow will be much faster and smoother than 5.0.2 for tab s.Basically 5.0.2 sucks,as much as speed is concerned on tab s

                                Does Samsung enable Adopt' your MicroSD card as internal storage? as only the pathetic 16gb version was launched in UK & i only have 2gb free even with all apps that can be moved to sd card moved.

                                        Does it include the latest Touchwiz e.g, new icons and folders?
