In 2020, Samsung introduced three generations of Android updates for its premium and select mid-range phones as well as tablets. For flagships, this policy covers the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S20 series, while the Galaxy S21 series and onwards are eligible for four Android updates.
Hence, the Galaxy 10 Lite is entitled to three OS upgrades, just like the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e. However, unlike the latter three, the former will receive the latest Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update.
The original Galaxy S10 family comprising the mainline three models debuted in early 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie onboard. On the other hand, the Galaxy S10 Lite was released in early 2020 with Android 10.
But all of them are qualified for three generations of Android updates. As a result, the inexpensive Galaxy S10 Lite will get access to Android 13 in the coming days.
In fact, Samsung has already started testing the firmware for the handset. It seems like there won’t be a public beta program for it.
According to update schedules shared by Samsung, the device will receive the stable update as early as December in regions like Germany and Malaysia. The update should be available in other markets in the following weeks.
The Galaxy S10 Lite was one of the best upper mi-range smartphones of its time. It has a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, 48MP (wide, OIS) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, 4,500mAh battery, 45W fast charging support, and more.
