Samsung shows software is king with S10 update
Samsung has launched an update in select regions where it will add Galaxy Note 10 features, like Dex Desktop, to the Galaxy S10, writes BRYAN TURNER.
Galaxy S10 owners will be able to use new features, like Dex for PC and updated camera filters, both introduced on the newer Galaxy Note 10.
The update also features a security patch. The firmware is out now in select markets for the Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+. Samsung says that the software will be available for the rest of the world later.
Those with the Qualcomm-powered variants of the S10 have already received the latest September 2019 security patch.
To see if your S10 is eligible, look at the firmware update version under “Software update information” in the Software Update section of the Settings menu. If it is G970FXXU3ASIG, G973FXXU3ASIG or G975FXXU3ASIG, you’re in luck.
Under the change list, Samsung lists:
- New Camera functions have been added: Live focus, Live focus video, AR Doodle, Night, Super steady.
- Added new features: Link to Windows, Dynamic Lock screen, DeX for PC.
- Improved performance: Video editing
The update also included stability improvements and bug fixes.
