Nano, 30 Sep 2020is it supposed to be 3 major updates for phones or tablets ... moreUnfortunately, the S5e is not included from the list of Samsung phones and tablets that will get 3 year support which really is incomprehensible since there are only few differences in hardware between the tab S5e and tab S6 (processor, underdisplay fingerprint scanner). The S5e's processor is certainly capable enough to support S pen functionality but Samsung decided not to provide it to push buyers to buy the more expensive tab S6. Still, more people bought the tab S5e than tab S6 since not many care for the faster processor or S-pen support (the main difference between the two). Besides, the underdisplay fingerprint scanner of the tab S6 is inferior to the side mounted capacitive scanner on the S5e (more consistent and accurate; no frequent false rejection).
From a profit standpoint, the tab S5e was a mistake. Samsung gave it lots of desirable premium features - a high resolution amoled screen that's practically identical with the tab S6 and the same quality quad speakers and premium software with Knox, that's why the midrange S5e cannibalized sales from the S6. Samsung shortly outed the tab S6 lite which is poor in comparison to the S5e except for the S pen support. It's very difficult to find the tab S5e now. It seems Samsung discontinued it and rapidly replaced it with the tab S6 lite.

The s-pen feature is nice though but the screen is just visibly grainy with pixels very visible compared to the tab S5e. Those who can't tolerate lower screen resolution but still want S-pen functionality and lower price than tab S6 can opt for the older tab S4.
