Android 12L brings some awesome features that let you get the best out of your tablet’s big screen. Most notably, you get a persistent taskbar at the bottom of the screen. You can pin up to six favorite or most used apps in the taskbar and quickly switch between them when needed. You’re not required to go back to the app drawer or recent apps to open a new app. This feature essentially works the same way as your computer’s taskbar. With One UI 4.1.1, Samsung devices also show two recently opened apps on the taskbar. It further lets you create app pairs and launch them in split-screen mode at once. Switching to the split-screen mode or pop-up mode is also easier. You can use a two-finger gesture to quickly enter or exit the split-screen view. All of this enables more efficient multitasking. The latest update for the Galaxy Tab S8 series also enables you to extract text from any image. The extracted text can be shared via other apps or quickly translated into a different language. The device will also intelligently suggest actions based on the text extracted. Other key features of Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 for the Galaxy Tab S8 trio include custom caller backgrounds for callers, improved Samsung Keyboard, improved My Files, and more efficient Samsung Internet.
