Samsung is doing a great job in terms of providing the faster and latest software updates to its eligible devices across the globe. It seems that after releasing the improved One UI over Android 9 Pie back in 2018, Samsung has moved a step ahead and last year in 2019 the company has delivered the December 2019 patch to its plenty of devices which shows a good sign. Currently, Samsung Galaxy S10 is receiving the stable One UI 2.0 update. You can install Samsung Galaxy S10 Android 10 from this guide.

Previously, the South-Korean tech giant was known for its very selective Android updates or security patch updates to some of its devices. But the One UI platform has literally changed the whole game and now the company seems quite aggressive or you can say more free to push software updates even to its entry-level devices. Last year in September, Google has also launched Android 10 officially and Samsung has developed the One UI 2.0 based on Android Q which is the icing on the cake over One UI.

Android 10 – Overview
