I have an unlocked Galaxy Tab S10+ 5G. Purchased from company in Germany. Samsung USA does not sell unlocked Tablets. I am unable to get Samsung Care. I am also not able to Beta test Android 16 with One UI 8. I am able to so with my S25 ultra. Been fun first problem, no alarm sounds. This Tab S10+ would like to test Android 16 One UI 8. From Samsungs' action that will not be happening. It should be happening as the Tablet is flagship. Also should not be waiting till next year when Android 18 is being worked on.

I am sorry about your multiple dilemmas.

1 You can't get Care+ on a device purchased outside of the US, in the US.

2. Cellular models are only sold by carriers.

3. Tablets rarely if ever participate in Betas

If it is possible to return the tablet, I would. I am not sure you will be getting updates on that Tablet .

Samsung generally doesn't do betas for tablets. And it's only available on the S25 series for phones.

I've purchased unlocked tablets directly from Samsung before, so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
