Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus update
- Current stable version: Android 10
- When will the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus get Android 11? December 2020 (estimated)
The Galaxy Note 10 line launched in August 2019 with the then-latest version of Android, Android 9 Pie. Like most Android flagships, these are expected to receive at least two major updates in their lifetimes.
The first confirmed major update is Android 10, which publicly launched toward the beginning of September. Soon after, Samsung began a beta program for its flagships, including the Note 10 line. This beta program lasted for a few months before Samsung started rolling out Android 10 in a stable form.
At this point, nearly every device in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 family, including the Star Wars model and the Sprint version, should have the Android 10 update. Any stragglers should get it by the end of January 2020. That update will include One UI 2.0, based on Android 10.
Samsung also beat Google to the punch with the January 2020 security patch, rolling it out to the Note 10 before Google rolled it out to the Pixel 4. Samsung’s update game has been on point lately, and the Note 10 is its sixth device to get the latest security patch.
According to a few Reddit posts, Canadian Galaxy Note 10 devices began receiving the latest Android 10-powered One UI 2.0 update January 6. Devices on carriers Telus, Bell, Rogers, and Sasktel received the update first, and other carrier devices followed suit shortly.
Two days later, a tipster over at Android Police let the world know Samsung began pushing out the latest stable Android 10 update to unlocked Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G devices in the UK. That same day, we also saw the update roll out to Indonesian variants of the Note 10 series thanks to a post on Reddit.
The March 2020 security update officially rolled out to Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus devices in the first week of March. It landed on devices in the Netherlands, the UK, Spain, and Hungary. The update didn’t introduce anything particularly exciting, but improved security is always welcome.
On April 21, Samsung made Galaxy S20 camera features available on Canadian Note 10 devices. The features included: Single Take Mode, Night Hyperlapse, custom filters, Pro Video Mode, and more. The update also introduced new Quick Share and Music share functionality to the phones. Quick Share lets Galaxy Note 10 users easily share photos, videos, and other large files with contacts nearby, while Music share lets others play their music on Bluetooth devices connected to your Galaxy Note 10. You can read more details about the new camera features here.
On June 5, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 phones started receiving the June 2020 security patches (via SamMobile). The patch rollout started a few days before with Qualcomm-based devices here in the United States, but it then started rolling out globally, including to Exynos-based models. This new update didn’t just feature the June 2020 security patch but also a new feature: a “Call and text on other devices” quick toggle. Paired with another Samsung device (such as a tablet), this feature will allow you to easily take calls/texts on the secondary device.
In July, Samsung rolled out the July 2020 security update for Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus devices (as reported by SamMobile). The over-the-air upgrades for the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus featured build numbers N970FXXS5CTFA and N975FXXS5CTFA respectively. These updates only bumped the security of the devices up to July 1, and they didn’t come with any other features.
