Android 10 has been on the market for a few months - since August specifically - and the truth is that it is one of the versions with the most support for updates that we have seen for a long time on Android. Many of the manufacturers already have at least a beta version of Android 10. Huawei, for example, already has EMUI 10 in beta. Also OnePlus, and Samsung has started just a few hours ago, the beta of One UI 2.0, its customization layer, has been opened. So you can have Android 10 and One UI 2.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S10.
At the moment, the beta of Android 10 for Samsung terminals reaches the Galaxy S10 family. This means that the Samsung Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 + and Galaxy S10 5G models are included. It is very likely that in the coming weeks the Galaxy Note 10 family will be added. Afterwards, they should update the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy S9 family, as well as some other member of the Galaxy A. These steps will help you apply the beta on all Samsung terminals once it is available.
To test the beta, it will be necessary to download the Samsung Members app, which is available in the Galaxy app store. You can also download it from Google Play. Once inside the application, it will ask you to log in with your Galaxy account. Then, go to the 'Notices' option and click on the beta program available. Don't worry if the One UI 2.0 version still doesn't appear, as this version has just been released and it could take a few days, even weeks, to be available to users. Sign up for the program, and if your application has been approved, you can download the new beta version in Settings> Software update. Remember that the beta version is not very stable, especially considering that it is the first. You can always exit the program if you see that your device is not working properly.
What news is coming to Samsung mobiles with Android 10?
Android 9 (left) vs Android 10 (right).
The company has been in charge of announcing some of the most important news, although it is very likely that we will see more details at the Samsung developer conference. One of the new functions is the optimization of some elements of the interface. That is, some designs and actions are minimized so that it does not affect our experience when using the device. Especially those elements that appear on any screen, such as the volume control or the floating widget of an incoming call. Night mode is also optimized in some scenarios. For example: even if we have a light background on the main screen, One UI will darken the tones to avoid being dazzled. The same happens with some items on the lock screen. In addition, the content is adapted and if there is any white background, the text will be shown in bold.
Another novelty is the redesign of the Digital Wellbeing tool. This option came with Android 9 and allows us to know how much time we spend with our mobile, how long we have been in an app and different options to avoid excessive use with applications and games. Now it has a new design, more controls and new options to help us spend more time than necessary with our mobile.
A redesign of the applications and interface is not expected, since these were renewed with the first version of One UI. However, we could see new options in our own applications and greater compatibility with third-party apps. We will be attentive to the next betas.
