Samsung One UI 5.0 roadmap confirms Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series won’t get Android 13

Samsung recently published the One UI 5.0 update roadmap for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. While this roadmap suggets when the stable update will arrive for eligible Galaxy devices, it also confirms that Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 series will not get the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update.

The roadmap released by Samsung shows the list of all devices that will get the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update in the coming few months. And, the list nowhere mentions the upper models of Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 series, which clearly indicates that Android 13 is not coming to these smartphones.

Meanwhile, the lower-end devices of the series, such as Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite are confirmed to receive this major upgrade in December 2022. This will be the last major Android update for these phones, however, these are also eligible for One UI 5.1 software that too relays on Android 13.

Android 13-Incompatible Samsung flagship phones:

• Galaxy S10
• Galaxy S10+
• Galaxy S10e
• Galaxy S10 5G
• Galaxy Note 10
• Galaxy Note 10+

BTW, it’s not a surprise!

Yes, this information does not surprise us as it was already expected. This is because the above-mentioned phones were launched with the old Android operating system, which was Android 9 while the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite, launched a few months later, were driving Android 10 OS out of the box.

In August 2020, Samsung officially announced that all its flagship Galaxy devices launched in or after 2019 will receive three major Android OS upgrades. According to this, the top models of the S10 and Note 10 series have received their three major updates as Android 10, 11, and 12. Whereas, their Lite models have only received two – Android 11 and 12 so far.
