Carrier-locked Galaxy Note 10 gets new software update in the US
The Galaxy Note 10 was launched back in 2019, and it comes with Android 9 out of the box. Samsung has promised to give at least three major updates to the devices, and following it, the company has rolled out a new major update yearly. Currently, the device is running on Android 12, which is the last update; now, the device is only eligible for minor updates, which are coming as security patches. Like now, it is receiving a new security patch in the form of a February 2023 update.
The carrier-locked variant of Galaxy Note 10 is now receiving the February 2023 security patch. Currently, the update is rolling out on several networks, including T-Mobile, Sprint, Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, and MetroPCS. It is expected that the update will be available on other networks in the next few days.
Users who own Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ can identify the latest update by the version numbers N970USQU7HWB2 and N975USQU7HWB2, respectively. Being a four-year-old device, this may be the last year in which the device is eligible to get new security updates.
The February 2023 update brings new fixes which enhance the security of your device. According to official documentation from Samsung, the latest update includes over 50 patches that resolve security-related problems. From those, 48 patches were included by Google that target the security vulnerabilities present in the Android OS. The other server patches were included by Samsung, which fixes the issues which are present in the Galaxy devices.
Samsung users can easily update their devices by tapping on them and then touching the download button. But in case you don’t get any notification yet, you can also check it manually by going to the system settings.
We are now at the end of April, but Samsung is still expanding the monthly update for the devices, even though it has rapidly distributed the update to almost all of them. This is due to server limitations, and now the company is rolling out the update for the Galaxy M33 5G and Galaxy A23 5G.
Notably, the Galaxy M33 5G and Galaxy A23 5G are getting an April 2024 security patch update with the firmware version numbers M336BXXS7DXD1 and A236BXXU5DXD6, respectively. With the latest update, these devices don’t get any significant changes but will enhance their security.
For your information, the April 2024 security patch update provides more than 40 fixes, whereas Google has added 27 fixes that address issues related to the Android OS. Meanwhile, Samsung has also added 17 more fixes that will improve the functioning of the Galaxy devices.
You can check for the latest update by going to the system software update via system settings. The April 2024 update will protect users against external threats that can harm important data and provide a seamless experience while using any feature.
If you haven’t received the update on your devices yet, then you should have to wait some more time. Sometimes it takes time to provide every unit of the device. However, once the update becomes available.
Samsung has recently introduced a new software update for multiple devices; however, initially it was spotted on the high-end devices belonging to the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Z series. Now, with the latest development, the company has started rolling out the update to several Galaxy A series devices.
According to the information, Samsung has made a significant software update live for the Galaxy A55, Galaxy A35, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A34, Galaxy A25, Galaxy A15 5G, and A15 4G. It is worth noting that the update has been detected in the European region and is expected to be limited to that only.
According to the latest update, the device will now support the 4G TDD band. However, Samsung has not provided any details about how this feature will benefit Galaxy device users. Based on my observations, it appears that the update will enhance stability and speed on the 4G network.
Here’s the build Numbers:
- Galaxy A55 5G – A556BXXU1AXC4
- Galaxy A35 5G – A356BXXU1AXBB
- Galaxy A34 5G – A346BXXU6BXD2
- Galaxy A25 5G – A256BXXU1AXC8
- Galaxy A15 5G – A156BXXU1AXC4
- Galaxy A15 4G – A155FXXU1AXC4
The company has stated that devices purchased in Germany and used in other countries, such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, will not function in the 4G TDD band.
If you are using any of the above-mentioned smartphones in Europe, then you should start getting new updates. To install them on your device, simply go to the software update menu via the system settings, wait for the update, and then hide the download button that appears.
Samsung’s flagship device, the Galaxy S24, boasts all-new high-end hardware and software functionalities, but it still has some flaws, particularly in the camera department.
To improve the camera functionality, it has already introduced some updates, such as the April 2024 security patch update, which introduced many fixes and improvements. Now the company is planning to introduce one camera enhancement update.
Previously, the camera enhancement was supposed to be available with the May 2024 security patch update, but now, according to a popular tipter, @universeice, it is delayed and could be available for users in June.
However, there is no reason for the delay. Samsung might prefer to concentrate on rolling out the One UI 6.1 update to all eligible devices in May.
As of now, there is no information available about what will come with the camera enhancement update. Along with this, it may also include some new features that will improve the overall performance and security of the devices.
