What you should Know before Updating?
Be sure to manually check for updates, the update may be available but it may take some time if you wait to be prompted. So to avoid the wait Go to settings, Software update and download and install. This will check manually for the update.
The updater should indicate weather a update is available or not.Do remember again the availability of updates is dependent on your device region, carrier and so on. Some devices get updates faster than others.
Make sure you have at least 50% battery or more after installing the update as it does take time and consume allot of battery. I also advise that you use a fast Internet connection as the update is very big at 1979.05 MB which is more than a Gigabyte.
I don’t see a Updates:
If your device is carrier specific they will have to tweak the update for there network and usually roll these updates out later. A unlocked international device for example that not carrier branded as my device tend to get updates right away as no tweaks are needed and those device get updates right off the bat.
What Do I think about this Update and its features?
I personally love the update as its really makes a difference. This update in my opinion makes the Galaxy S10 feel like a new device again. I love the way my existing and new pictures really pop on screen along with the icons.
The display has a cooler look in terms of color tone and contrast is way better. I love that a built in screen recorder is now included and that I don’t have to down load one at all.
The Focus mode is also good for when you need time away from technology and don’t want to be distracted. These subtle additions where really well thought out and take into consideration issues of the modern era.
The settings menus have been simplified and I can easy find what I need better than before as they are stacked beneath relevant heading and I don’t have to dig down into several sub-menus to find them.
Samsung has done a really nice job of refining the Android 10 update to make it better than before and I really love it and find little to no complaints whatsoever so far as My device is as snappy as ever.
Good work Samsung and Google on this one.
