  • Samsung Galaxy M20 Android 10 Update Rollout Expands To Europe

    Samsung recently released Android 10 and One UI 2.0 for the Galaxy M20. The company had decided to release it in India first, which happened in December. Now, Samsung is planning to bring the Android 10 update for Galaxy M20 devices in Europe. As of now, the update is seeding in Germany, Luxembourg, and Greece. However, it is expected to expand to other countries within the continent quite soon.

    Android 10 Updates

    Europe is getting a taste of the latest Android 10 update. Samsung has decided to go ahead with the expansion of the update after the initial rollout was successful for its Galaxy M20 devices in India. The latest build does not support certain features, such as the built-in screen recorder. However, you will note that it has One UI 2.0 enhancements as well as Android 10 perks like better Digital Wellbeing with Focus Mode, granular location, and privacy controls. As usual, the update will be rolled over the air. In order to see if it has reached you, make your way to the Settings menu. Click on the Software Update menu.

    Samsung Galaxy M20

    With the M20 being in the news so much, let’s cover its features – a sort of a quick review! Regarding the design, one of the first things users came to know was Samsung’s Infinity – V display with the water-drop notch. The bezels are smaller and the display curves smoothly. The back of the phone is made using glossy polycarbonate. While it looks shiny, it does feel a bit cheap. The fingerprint sensor is pretty efficient but could have been located a bit lower.

    The Galaxy M20 is powered by Exynos 7904 octa-core chipset. The phone comes with 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and a dedicated card slot. These are the features that Samsung would not have provided at this price sometime back. Coming to performance, heavy-duty games like PUBG had some trouble running smoothly. However, casual games and daily use was perfect. The Galaxy M20 has a 13MP primary camera with a 5MP secondary wide-angle shooter and an 8MP selfie camera. The camera sensors manage to capture the lights, sharpness, and other details just perfectly. While Galaxy M20’s camera is better than Zenfone Max Pro M2, the Redmi Note 6 leads the way here.

    The Samsung Galaxy M20 offers support for USB Type-C connector. It also has fast charging, which is nice to see on a budget smartphone. The device comes with a huge 5000mAh battery capacity which means you will easily be able to use for more than a day on a single charge. The speakers work well and the audio output via headphones is not bad either.

    Wrap Up

    No doubt that the Samsung Galaxy M20 is going to make news in Europe. Since the device owners there have been waiting for an Android 10 for a long time, the rollout is being awaited eagerly.

    When will my phone get Android 10 Update?

    Android 10 has been out for some time now. With many features, Google’s latest update has something for everyone. It could be that you are eager to see its new permission settings for apps or the sophisticated dark mode, there is much to experience.

    Huawei

    Huawei’s Huawei P30 series, Huawei Mate 20 series and Huawei Mate 10 series have all received the EMUI 10/Android 10 update. Other models expecting the update include the following.

    Since the upcoming phones from Huawei will not have any Google services, it is not yet clear how the company plans to handle this issue.

    Motorola

    Motorola is a popular smartphone brand which has been lagging the past few years. However, the company still is providing the update to a decent number of devices.

  • LG G7 One gets Android 10 update

    LG G7 One gets Android 10 update

    LG G7 One is an Android One based phone. This smartphone is all set to receive an update to Android 10. Earlier this month, LG G8 ThinQ received its Android 10 update. However, this was only for users in South Korea. Other LG devices are running on Android Pie at the moment. LG G7 One was released last year. It runs on Android One, which is Google’s attempt at providing a stock Android experience without the OEM branding. One major benefit of this is that users would be able to receive Android updates almost immediately.

    We have successfully reached a stage where we receive new OS upgrades regularly, instead of once in a blue moon. Currently, Samsung started rolling out Android 10 to its 2019 flagships. Sony, Motorola, and LG followed suit. The latest one to receive Android 10 update is LG’s G7 One. Although the company is still working on this, the process has started. The G7 One was also the first LG phones receive the Pie update last year. The update is being rolled out in North America and hopefully, will soon be made available for other areas.

    It looks like LG is taking full and complete advantage of Android One updates. It would be a 750 MB update and will come with the November 2019 security patch. The latest Android OS Upgrade offers improved camera functionality and enhanced usability via Google Patch. The LG G7 One is not the Android One phone to receive Android 10. OnePlus phones, Motorola One Power and Nokia 7.1 also received updates to Android 10 in the last week.

    LG G7 One

    While the first LG model to receive an update to Android 10 was G8 ThinQ, it was only for users in South Korea. Now, the G7 One model is all set to receive an update to Android 10 across North America. This smartphone was first released in 2018 as part of the Android One Program. That is why it does not come as a shock to know that it is one of the first LG phones to receive the latest update.

    Of course, it is weird to see that LG’s mid-range phone is receiving Android 10 updates while its flagship models are still waiting for the same. Considering the fact that this is an Android One device and they usually have a very similar build to Pixel models; it is a bit surprising to see why it has taken this long. All in all, it was probably easier to update this and move on to the flagship devices.

    The Android 10 update from LG G7 One model is being launched for the units in Canada. This 741MB over-the-air download will soon be made available for other areas as well. Besides the new OS version (of course!), you will be able to enjoy improved features as well. The very fact that updates have started rolling out gives us hope that it would be soon be made available for other regions and other phones.
