14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has started the rollout of a new software update for the Galaxy S10 after the company previously pulled the original update released in early May.
While the company is yet to officially announce this software update, users in select markets are already allowed to download it on their Galaxy S10.
The first country provided with the update appears to be Switzerland, as per SamMobile, and this makes sense given that the previous update breaking down apps and causing phones to freeze landed here before going live everywhere.
The changelog doesn’t specifically indicate that this new update comes to resolve issues experienced with the original May update, but the version number does seem to indicate this is the case.
The original update, which is no longer up for grabs on the Galaxy S10, was labeled as version number XXU1ASE5, while today’s release comes as XXU1ASE6.
Rollout taking place in waves
As you can see in the screenshot included in the article, the changelog displayed on the Galaxy S10 points to improvements for Wi-Fi connectivity and stability, camera refinements, Bluetooth connectivity tweaks, and further security patches. The update size is 121.77 MB.
The rollout takes place gradually, so not all devices would be getting the update at once, but you can check for the new version right now to see if the download is ready on your device.
Samsung hasn’t provided any specifics on its botched update, so it’s not yet clear how many devices were impacted, but users who installed it reported freezes and crashes affecting not only apps, but also the Galaxy S10 altogether. In most of the cases, rebooting the impacted devices helped to temporarily eliminate the issues.
The update is shipped to all models part of the Galaxy S10 lineup, including S10e, S10, and S10+.
