The launch of the successors to the Galaxy Note 10 series and the Galaxy Fold is around the corner. Earlier in the year, Samsung released the Galaxy S20 lineup of devices that bring 5G support and of course, better specs.

As Samsung is moving towards its latest One UI skin called One UI 2.5 for its plenty of supported devices, check out the Samsung One UI 2.5 Update: List of Supported devices to receive it.
