New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on October 29, 2019) follows:
Samsung is the only major smartphone vendor that didn’t have a device in the early Android Q beta program. That’s the second year in a row since Google started including non-Pixel devices in the beta program.
Despite shelling out $1000, Galaxy S10+ owners had to wait until after Google released the stable version of Android 10 before they could get a taste of the OS. The rollout started in mid-October in Korea and slowly spread out to a few other countries in Europe, the U.S., India, and China.
While the initial One UI 2.0 beta update was limited to the Galaxy S10 family of devices, including the smaller Galaxy S10e and the 5G variant, there was no place for the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.
Samsung promised to bring Android 10 beta to the Note 10 devices at a later time and last week, everyone thought the rollout had kicked off, only for the company to halt it for some reason.
According to fresh reports, it seems the Galaxy Note 10 Android 10 update has now resumed rolling out, this time for real. The One UI 2.0 beta update has been spotted in Germany, which is one of the European markets participating in the program. Others are the UK, France, Poland, and Spain.
The software version is N975FXXU1ZSJF, the same version number that went out last week. Since there wasn’t any going back, the security patch level also stays on November 1.
