Guess why I asked "based on the release notes" 8-) Anway ...:
- UI ... well, that's part of the product design, unlikley to see a brand new funky Web UI or cleaned up mess from the 1990 design on a sub-sub-sub-minor update.
- Better range and bandwidth ... standards, technology, and regulatory limits are already pushed to the limits on curent 802.11ac APs - and you do understand that there are always to parters on a connection, where the antenna capabilities are ways below of a router with big wings. Assume you don't talk of WiFi 6 clients.
- Samsung is a little bit generic, but I guess you talk about Android ... face it: Apple iOS (the "big OS anyway as there are many more protocols up) is a little bot more "chatty" than Android. Deep packet inspection is a challenge. Very often, you won't see much - the first thing (the device name) iOS users enter isn't becoming available on the network on most Android units. We can dispute now if this is good or bad, but look here on a (different) system:

As approving in-line images takes more (read: to much ChristineT Christian_R) time over weekends and holidays - are you talking about the pre-defined "Device Type" list as we had on the R9000 already - which is mostly pure text (finger printing these individual Nexus devices for example is almost impossible).
I know why these came to the list: Early adopters used Apple and Google Nexus mobile devices (gee, not LG or Sammy or whatever ... ), Google Pixel are not listed, so you see roughly at which point Netgear has stopped to listen to our requests.
