[Update 2: For Real This Time] Samsung confirms an Android 10 beta is coming soon to the Galaxy Note 10

-

Update 2 (10/28/19 @ 11:55 AM ET): After being released and pulled last week, One UI 2 beta (Android 10) is rolling out to the Galaxy Note 10 again.

Update 1 (10/23/19 @ 7:15 AM ET): Samsung has shared details of the Android 10 beta for the USA. The beta update will only be available for the unlocked variant. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on October 22, 2019, is preserved as below.

Earlier this month, Samsung announced the Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy S10 series. The beta program introduced all Android 10 exclusive features to the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and the Galaxy S10e. Additionally, the update also introduced some subtle UI changes to further streamline Samsung’s software. For instance, the caller notification and volume bar have been decreased in size so that they aren’t as intrusive. Now, Samsung has announced that the One UI 2.0 beta is coming to its Note 10 series soon.

As per a recent post on the Samsung community, the beta program will soon make its way to the Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy Note 10 5G and the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G. However, the company hasn’t revealed the exact timeline for the same. The program will be available for all Galaxy Note 10 users, including both carrier locked and unlocked devices. Users will be able to participate in the beta from within the Samsung Members app when it goes live. While we aren’t exactly aware of what Samsung plans to introduce in One UI 2.0 specifically for its Note 10 lineup, we do have information on a couple of features that have made their way to the Galaxy S10 series.

Other than the aforementioned UI changes, One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy S10 series extends the Dark mode to the home screen, ensuring users don’t have any eye fatigue while using their devices at night. This new Dark mode can adjust the brightness of images, texts, and colors on the display. The company claims that the new Dark mode will further reduce battery consumption, which is great.

The update also brings minor changes to the Smart Lock screen, which now automatically adjusts the color of the text on the lock screen. On top of that, there are some new tools for digital wellness, including the Focus mode. The Device care menu also has some new features to help you manage your digital wellbeing, along with tools to give you more control over what’s on your device.

Update: Android 10 Beta not coming for US carrier variants

Samsung has posted details of the One UI 2.0 Beta with Android 10 for Galaxy Note 10 series in the USA.

According to the teaser, the beta will only be available for the unlocked variants of the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. No mention has been made for the carrier variants, and so it can be presumed that a beta will not be available to try on the beta variants. Instead, we can expect to directly update to a more stable release once that begins rolling out.

Update 2: For Real This Time

The One UI 2 beta for the Galaxy Note 10 was released last week, but it was actually sent out by mistake. Now, the rollout has begun for real this time. The update brings Android 10 along with November security patches and the fixes for the fingerprint scanner. It’s rolling out in Germany now and should arrive in more countries soon. If you’d like to join the beta program, you can do so with the Samsung Members app below.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
