With the release of April 2023 security patches, Samsung drops support for several of its popular smartphones from 2019. Three of them are premium devices, while the remaining one is a mid-ranger.

The phones we are talking about are Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, Galaxy S10e, and Galaxy A50. These handsets will no longer receive software updates.

All the aforementioned products were released in the first quarter of 2019. They debuted with the original version of One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie.

The Galaxy A50 only received up to Android 11 throughout its support period. On the other hand, the Galaxy S10 series boots Android 12. Anyways, they got up to four years’ worth of security update coverage.

Interestingly, the Galaxy S10 5G is still eligible for quarterly security updates though it launched around the same time. Further, the Galaxy S10 Lite will continue to receive one more year of security updates. 

That’s because the S10 Lite was released almost a year after the debut of the original S10 family. It even got access to the Android 13 update as it was introduced with Android 10.

That said, though Samsung has ended the software support, these phones should work as usual without any issues. You may want to upgrade only if you feel the device is not keeping up with your usage.

Samsung is finally rolling out the latest One UI 3.0 Beta for the Galaxy Z Flip. This update signals that Samsung has fixed the issues found on the recent beta and that it will resume the update cycle for other devices.

As reported by Tizenhelp, the announcement was reportedly made on the Samsung Members App. Accordingly, the update is currently rolling out to users of South Korea. It includes both the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and LTE variants. This is probably to test that the update doesn’t contain any major bugs before a wider rollout.

Additionally, a beta Operation Manager has reportedly informed the Community that other models of the designated list will start getting the Beta updates this week. This suggests that devices like  Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e, Z Fold2, will get the latest One UI 3.0 based on Android 11. Plus, a moderator for Galaxy Note has reportedly confirmed that the next Beta for Galaxy Note 10 series is coming this week.

EDITOR’S PICK: Samsung promises three years of OS updates; starting with the Galaxy S10 series and later

If we recall, Samsung postponed the update of One UI 3.0 Beta recently after finding a critical issue. The issue was primarily concerning the battery, performance, app crashes after the Galaxy Note 10 update. This meant that the yesteryear flagships including the foldables had to be left out of the Beta program shortly.

Samsung confirmed the OneUI 3.0 based on Android 11 back at the event on August 5. The beta program began after the initial developer build. And is already on course with Beta Program and a vision to bring it close to 90 devices. Anyway, the public final version will likely roll out before 2020 ends.

That said, with this news, Galaxy Z Flip becomes the first foldable phone to get One UI 3.0 Beta update. If you are a user in South Korea and have signed up for Beta Program already, you can head over to the Samsung Members App to see the notification.

You can also try out the new features of One UI 3.0 by installing the update through Settings->Software Updates->Download and Install. If you haven’t signed up for Beta, head over to Samsung Members App and click the One UI 3.0 banner. We suggest users in other regions to wait patiently as the update won’t take long to reach your device.

Previously, we had covered Samsung‘s roadmap for updating its existing lineup of smartphones with the latest Android 10 OS based One UI 2. The list included many other devices as well that were slated to receive the update in early 2020. However, a few of the devices were ahead of schedule when the company started rolling out updates earlier this month. These handsets are now also joined by the Galaxy S10 series.

According to the original schedule, the Galaxy S10 series, which includes the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10e, were all set to receive the Android 10 update in January 2020. But similar to the Galaxy Note 10 series, the 2019 flagship smartphone of the South Korean tech giant has already started receiving the major update in the US.

Samsung’s One UI is the company’s custom skin which is based on Google‘s Android OS. The latest version which is currently being rolled out in the US carries the second iteration of the skin; which brings a bunch of new features and upgrades along with it. Currently, the Galaxy S10 series is receiving the new update for its Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile models, with AT&T reportedly soon to follow.

Being a major update, the new software includes the December security patches alongside the One UI 2 upgrade. Notably, the update roll out is occurring in a staggered manner. In other words, it is yet to arrive on every handset, so don’t worry if you haven’t immediately received the update. It will soon be available to a broader userbase and will arrive with a download size upwards of 2GB.

AnTuTu’s top 10 list of best performing Android smartphones for April was led by Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer Edition, Xiaomi Mi 9 and Black Shark 2 gaming phone. The benchmarking platform the top 10 list of smartphones with topnotch performance for May 2019. Various flagship phones from China were tested between May 1 and May 30 to gauge their performance. Also, at least 100 units per model were tested using the latest edition of the AnTuTu benchmarking app to compile the list for the previous month.

As it can be seen in the list below, the Nubia Red Magic 3 gaming-focused phone has bagged number one position in the top 10 best performing smartphones list with an average benchmarking score of 380,921. Apart from the Red Magic 3, the ZTE Axon 10 Pro is also a new entrant in the list. The ZTE has managed to salvage the second position with an AnTuTu score of 376,916.

The next positions on the list are occupied by Xiaomi devices. The Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer Edition is on the third place with an AnTuTu score of 376,092. It is followed by Black Shark 2 gaming smartphone with a benchmarking score of 374,736. Placed on the fifth position is Xiaomi Mi 9 with a score of 372,422.

The Meizu 16s has occupied the sixth position with an AnTuTu score of 370,315. Another new entrant on the list is OnePlus 7 Pro. With an average benchmarking score of 368,834, the OnePlus phone is now sitting on the seventh spot on the list. The Lenovo Z6 Pro is on the eight position with a score of 363,399. The Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ are on the ninth and tenth positions. They have respectively scored 362,450 and 361,394.

It is surprising to see the OnePlus 7 Pro only managing to secure seventh position on the list. AnTuTu has claimed that it is because of the high refresh rate of the display that consumes more power. So, the operating system running on the phone has been optimized for increasing its endurance and it does not completely take advantage of Snapdragon 855 mobile platform’s potential. Hence, the smartphone has acquired low average benchmarking score on AnTuTu.

The Vivo iQOO is no longer present on the list because its average benchmarking score is below 360k. AnTuTu has claimed that the AnTuTu score of the phone went down after the recent software update. All the ten phones that have made it to the list of top 10 best performing Android phones for May 2019 are powered by Snapdragon 855 chipset. None of the Kirin 985 SoC driven phone are present on the list. Probably, the upcoming Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro phones may make it to the list in the next month’s AnTuTu’s top 10 list of best performing Android phone.

Strangely, the OPPO 10x Zoom Edition is missing from the list. Hopefully, it will appear along with some with other phones such as Redmi K20 Pro and OnePlus 7 in the next month’s AnTuTu list.

These photos leave nothing to the imagination with respect to the design of both phones. They confirm the design of the displays as well as the rear of both phones.

The Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus will both come with punch hole displays which Samsung has named Infinity-O Display. To be honest only the Galaxy S10’s display should be called Infinity-O as the hole in the Galaxy S10 Plus is shaped like a pill and not an “O”.

The holes in both phones are at the top right corner of the screen. The Galaxy S10 Plus has a bigger hole because it has dual front-facing cameras. Both the S10 and S10 Plus have their bezels shaved off but their chins are a bit thicker.

On the rear, the Galaxy S10 duo sport triple rear cameras arranged horizontally. They share the same housing along with an LED flash and what we believe is a blood pressure monitor. There is no fingerprint scanner visible which means they do have in-display fingerprint sensors as reported in earlier leaks.

The Galaxy S10 in the photo is black while the Galaxy S10 Plus has a silver finish. The latter has slightly more curved edges and even its display appears to be more curved too.

The Galaxy A8s and Samsung W2019 have ditched the audio jack but Samsung is not yet ready to remove it from its S-series flagships. The audio port sits on the left of the USB-C port on both phones while the speaker grille is positioned on the right.

The live photos also show the phones powered on and we get to see the homescreen and what Samsung’s One UI looks like. The icons are large and there is a Google search bar sitting above them.

The Lenovo Z5 Pro GT launched as the world’s first phone with 12GB of RAM in December. New reports say a variant of Samsung’s Galaxy S10 Plus might join the list.

It was reported a few months ago that Samsung would launch a version of the Galaxy S10 that will have a ceramic body. That version was initially said to be the 5G version of the Galaxy S10 which has been referred to as the Galaxy S10 X. Latest news from say it will likely be a variant of the Galaxy S10 Plus instead and will pack lots of storage and RAM.

This version of the Galaxy S10 Plus is said to have model number SM-G975FC and will come in white and black ceramic variants according to SamMobile. China-based leaker @UniverseIce known for his Samsung-related leaks also revealed in a tweet yesterday that the ceramic version of the S10 Plus will also have 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage!

The Galaxy S10+ 12GB/1TB version will have a ceramic back cover. This ceramic has a special process that is not only scratch resistant but also resistant to falling, but the weight will increase. This is the most advanced version of the S10+ . There is a metallic luster.

The tweet also said the ceramic is made via a special process that not only makes it resistant to scratches but also “resistant to falling”. We believe he means the phone will also be able to survive more drops than the glass variant. However, this feature gives the phone additional weight. Lastly, he says it will have a metallic luster which should make it look really nice and attractive.

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S10 series is a little more than a month away. As the day gets closer, we expect more leaks to keep pouring in. Today’s leak is a live photo of the Galaxy S10 Plus which was spotted in public.

The image is reported to have been shared by a Samsung employee but has now been taken down. Thankfully, someone managed to save it before the original post was deleted.

The picture isn’t high-res thanks to the zoom level before the photo was taken but we can still make out a key feature of the phone – its dual front-facing cameras.

The Galaxy S10 Plus will come with an Infinity-O display (or Infinity-Pill since it is shaped like a pill) that will house two front-facing cameras. The hole in the display is positioned at the top right corner on the same line the notification icons are. Judging from the image, the hole doesn’t seem intrusive but it clearly can’t be ignored if you are watching a video in full-screen.

In a few months, Samsung will unveil new phones in the Galaxy S series. The Galaxy S10 Plus will be one of them and its AnTuTu benchmark result shows that it will be one of the most powerful phones released in 2019.

The Galaxy S10 Plus’ model number is revealed as SM-G975F and this is the variant powered by the recently announced Exynos 9820. It has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This will most definitely not be the only configuration at launch.

For the 5G variant of the Galaxy S10, the latest report indicates that Samsung won’t be using Qualcomm-branded chips. The company is reportedly in the process of developing its own 5G-compatible  communication processor. The device is likely to come with Samsung’s newly-announced Exynos 9820 chipset and the Exynos 5100 modem.

The company will reportedly launch three variants of the Galaxy S10 early next year, probably in February during Mobile World Congress — SM-G970F, SM-G973F & SM-G975F. Two of them will feature a 5.8-inch display while the third one will be the successor of the Galaxy S9 Plus.

The Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus will come with a triple-camera setup on the back, similar to what we’ve seen on Galaxy A7 2018. The Galaxy S10 Lite, on the other hand, is expected to come with flat display and side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The base model could pack 4GB of RAM and the top-end model may include 6GB of RAM. As for the software, we are expected Android Pie-based Samsung One UI, which was recently unveiled by Samsung.

At the launch event of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3, the company claimed that it offers a screen-to-body ratio of 93.4 percent. Recent leaks have suggested that both the premium versions of the Galaxy S10 would be equipped with an ultrasonic under display fingerprint reader.

Nubia has also confirmed that its upcoming Red Magic 2 phone will be equipped with 10 GB of RAM. In the recent past, an Oppo Find X variant was also spotted with 10 GB of RAM on TENAA. Going by the new leak, it appears that some companies like Samsung and Huawei are now working on smartphones with 12 GB of RAM.

The below image reveals that the Galaxy S10 will be arriving in March in four variants such as Galaxy S10 with 4 GB of RAM, Galaxy S10 Plus with 6 GB of RAM, Galaxy S10 X with 8 GB of RAM and Galaxy S10 X 5G with 12 GB of RAM. Interestingly, there is no 10 GB RAM version of the Galaxy S10.

Xiaomi has also confirmed that the Mi MIX 3 5G version will be announced in the first quarter of 2019.

DJ Koh, the head of Samsung’s mobile division has visited Wuhan, China to listen to the voice of Chinese customers. During the meet, he shared couple of new information on the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 and the smartphones that will be arriving next.

Recent reports have revealed that the Note 9’s S Pen will be a versatile stylus since it will carry support for Bluetooth connectivity. At the Wuhan event, Koh revealed that the S Pen will be arriving with many new features including some gaming-related features.

The recently unveiled Vivo X21 and Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition are equipped with optical fingerprint scanner supplied by Synaptics. And the Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design has optical fingerprint sensor manufacturer by Goodix. At the Wuhan press conference, DJ Koh has confirmed that the Galaxy S10 will be coming with ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

He added that since optical fingerprint scanner does not deliver good user experience, it hasn’t been included on the S10. He said that Samsung could have used optical fingerprint scanner on its smartphones two years ago, but it avoided using it because of poor user experience. By including ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the S10, the South Korean company wants to deliver better screen fingerprint scanning experience on the S10.

Samsung CEO Guo Minghao who was also present at the conference reveled that the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will be also made available on other Galaxy phones arriving next year. He specifically revealed that the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Note 10 arriving in 2019 will be featuring ultrasonic fingerprint reader.

Samsung has been launching Galaxy A series smartphones in December and January since the past few years. The Galaxy S10 is expected to get unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February 2019 whereas the next Galaxy A series smartphones are likely to debut by the end of this year or early 2019. Since they are expected to launch ahead of S10 series, they are unlikely to feature ultrasonic fingerprint scanner because Samsung is reportedly planning to launch S10 series as its first phones with under display fingerprint scanner.

So, there are two possibilities here, the first one could be that Samsung may hold the launch of the upcoming Galaxy A phones and unveil it after debuting the S10 series. The second possibility is that the Galaxy A phones later this year or early 2019 could be mid-range phones and they may not feature under display fingerprint scanner. So, the company may launch some other Galaxy A phone with ultrasonic fingerprint scanner later in the coming year.

As far as Galaxy S10 series is concerned, it is likely to feature three smartphones that will be arriving with different screen sizes of 5.8-inch, 6.1-inch and 6.4-inch. Among these, only the 6.1-inch and 6.4-inch will be equipped with Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Recent reports have claimed that the Galaxy S10+ will be arriving with triple rear cameras. Based on information received through industry sources, a South Korean publication has revealed the configuration of the triple camera setup of the S10+. Moreover, it has also claimed that the smartphone with dual selfie snappers which means it will be coming with a total of five cameras.

The Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+ smartphones are the first smartphones from Samsung to feature dual selfie cameras. The upcoming Galaxy S10+ could be the first flagship phone to arrive with dual front-facing cameras. The exact configurations of both cameras are not available yet, but it is certain that dual shooter will allow the S10+ users to capture selfie shots with bokeh effect. The report claims that the Galaxy S10 and a weaker S10 model that is dubbed as Galaxy S10 Lite will be arriving with single front-facing camera.

At present, there is only one smartphone that features triple rear cameras. It is the Huawei P20 Pro that was unveiled in March this year. The handset only features a single front-facing camera. However, the upcoming Galaxy S10+ is expected to arrive with triple cameras on its rear apart from the dual front-facing snappers which indicates that the smartphone will be equipped with five cameras.

For the triple camera setup, Samsung is expected to borrow the same variable aperture 12-megapixel dual camera module that is available on the Galaxy S9+. There will be an additional ultra wide-angle 16-megapixel sensor with 120-degree field of view.

As far as the Galaxy S10 is concerned, it is also expected to house a triple camera unit on its back panel along with a single front-facing camera. The alleged S10 Lite is tipped to feature dual rear cameras and a single camera on the front.

A report from the past week had revealed that S10+ and S10 will be the first Samsung phones with under-display fingerprint reader. The alleged S10 Lite will also be the first smartphone from the company to arrive with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ may not be the first phone to arrive with five cameras because a report from the previous week had revealed that the LG V40 ThinQ arriving in the coming months will be equipped with dual frontal shooters and triple rear cameras. There is no information available on the camera configuration on the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 series. Probably, the Chinese firm step up the competition by adding five cameras on Mate 20 Pro.

Since the past few months, the rumor mill has been claiming that Samsung will be using the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 tech event in January to announce the Galaxy S10 and S10+ smartphones and the alleged Galaxy X foldable phone may go official at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 in February. However, a reliable tipster who holds a consistent track record on leaking accurate information of upcoming Samsung devices has claimed that the company has swapped the launch venues of these devices.

According to the tipster, Samsung’s first foldable smartphone will be made official at the CES 2019 event. A January announcement for the smartphone could mean that it could be made available for buying in February. Previous reports have revealed that the alleged Galaxy X foldable phone will be a limited-edition device as the company is expected to manufacture only 300,000 to 500,000 units. Rumors have it that the first foldable phone from Samsung may cost around $1,850.

Since the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have encountered lackluster sales, it was previously speculated that the company may consider launching the Galaxy S10 series in January. Samsung has been using the MWC platform to announce its Galaxy S series of smartphones. Going by the fresh information shared by the Chinese tipster, it seems that the Galaxy S10 and S10+ may go official at MWC 2019. Rumors have it that a smaller Galaxy S flagship phone may also debut alongside the Galaxy S10 duo.

The phablet is rumored to arrive with a Bluetooth enabled S Pen and some improved internals such as 8 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage, 4,000mAh battery and variable aperture dual camera. The South Korean company is also expected to debut Gear S4 smartwatch on Aug. 9. The rumored Galaxy Tab S4 may go official at IFA 2018 in September.

A recent report had revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S10 that will be launching in the first quarter of 2019 will be the company’s first smartphone to feature an in-screen fingerprint scanner. Fresh information revealed by a South Korean publication states that the Galaxy S10 will be also featuring a triple camera setup.

The demand for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ phones have been lower than the company’s expectations. Hence, Samsung is aiming to entice customers by launching triple cameras and a 3D sensor, claimed an analyst from KB Securities. It is speculated that the Galaxy S10 with triple cameras will rival with the upcoming iPhone X Plus that is rumored to came with three cameras.

The three cameras featuring a 3D sensing sensor will not only offer better photography experience like enhanced zoom and better low-light performance, but also it will bring along other features like recording of 3D content and Augmented Reality (AR).

In March, Huawei had introduced the Huawei P20 Pro as the world’s first smartphone with triple camera setup. It includes a 40-megapixel RGB sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor. Samsung may use a similar camera setup on the Galaxy S10. However, there is no confirmation on it.

Recent reports have also revealed that the Galaxy S10 could be also Samsung’s first phone to come with 3D facial recognition feature like the Apple iPhone X and Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition. There is no information on other specs of the phone, but it is likely to be driven by the upcoming Snapdragon 855 chipset. Some rumors have claimed that the Galaxy S10 may get official right at the beginning of 2019 and the company may debut its first foldable phone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 tech trade show in February next year.
