Samsung retires Galaxy S10 line from month-to-month software program help [U: S10 5G too]

Replace: June 8, 2022

Two months after the Galaxy S10 collection units, Samsung has now retired the Galaxy S10 5G smartphone, from month-to-month software program help, as effectively. The S10 5G was launched round 2 months later from the Galaxy S10 lineup, which has now been accomplished three years of its preliminary world debut.

Preliminary Story: April 5, 2022

As traditional, Samsung has not too long ago printed the revised software program replace help web page for the Galaxy units. Except for the addition of some newly launched units, we noticed two main revisions within the firm’s safety patch distribution coverage.

Firstly, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus smartphones are now not eligible for any new software program replace by Samsung. On the identical time, Samsung has formally ended month-to-month software program replace eligibility of the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ units.

Accordingly, the Galaxy S10 collection smartphones will now have new safety patches on a quarterly foundation. This transfer will not be surprising as the corporate is providing month-to-month patches to those units since 2019. And after three years, they are going to now get quarterly updates for a yr, adopted by biannual for a yr.

Launched again in March 2019, the Samsung Galaxy S10 collection units shipped pre-loaded with the Android 9-based One UI 1.1. These fashions have accomplished their main upgrades lifecycle later final yr by receiving the Android 12-based One UI 4.0.

Final month, Samsung launched the brand new One UI 4.1 replace, which brings the Galaxy S22-inspired Digital camera options to the Galaxy S10 lineup. Unquestionably, the Galaxy S10 collection customers should get pleasure from their fashions with the Android 12-based One UI 4.1 as there’s no large improve remaining.

As of now, Samsung Galaxy S10 collection units haven’t obtained the month-to-month (April 2022 safety patch) up to now. Subsequently, we will count on the subsequent s/w replace two months later if the corporate skips the April patch for the Galaxy S10 telephones. In the meantime, the Galaxy S10 5G continues to be eligible for month-to-month software program updates, not less than some extra.
