Android operating systems continue to evolve. Older operating systems become obsolete and users need to upgrade those systems. Many (but not all) tablets support these software upgrades. Over time all tablets get so old they can no longer be upgraded.

Are Android tablets dying?

It’s equally safe to say that Android “tablets” are alive and well. It may be fair to say that they’re thriving. To begin with, there are still quite a few companies that still haven’t gotten the memo.

What is the lifespan of an Android tablet?

If actively used, (2 charges/day) you can lower this time to 1 year. Happily a non-phone tablet is less intensely used, and some Galaxy (among others) have good battery saving features, so you get a charge useful for more than 2-3 days, without heavy use, so it might last 4-5 years.
