A phone updated to the latest version of its operating system is a mobile that offers the most current, the newest functions and the most attractive content for the user. When you buy a mobile you expect that it can be updated for several years. And surely this is what those who acquired the Samsung Galaxy A40 mid-range that was launched last March and that carried Android 9 Pie thought. As expected, this terminal would update to the latest version of Google's operating system, and the day has finally come.
Android 10 and One UI 2.0: news coming to the Samsung Galaxy A40
Today, January 8, the deployment of the update via OTA of the Android 10 version for the Samsung Galaxy A40 has begun in China and Hong Kong. It may still take a few weeks for it to arrive in Europe, so the user should have a little patience. The Samsung Galaxy A40 is the third non-high-end device of the Korean brand to update to the latest version of Android, after the Samsung Galaxy A20 and the Samsung Galaxy A30. Within the high-end range, we can already see Android 10 on the Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
With the arrival of Android 10, users of this Samsung mobile will also receive version 2.0 of its customization layer, One UI. And what can the user expect from this great update? We summarize it in simple points.
New gestures in full screen. So far, to navigate with gestures we had to make an upward gesture from where the corresponding button would be on the bar. Now, this is updated for a more intuitive and exact handling, very similar to what we already have in MIUI on some of its devices.
More precise battery control. The 'Digital Wellbeing' application interface changes to offer the user more precise information about how they use their mobile and how the battery is being used. The way of displaying the data will also be clearer to help the user to have more exact control of the time spent in front of the screen.
Goodbye to Android Beam, hello to Android Auto. Through Android Beam we could share files between various Samsung devices. This feature has been removed in One UI 2.0. And Android Auto will come installed by default.
