June 1, 2019: Samsung has a new software update for the international variants of the Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+. The three, as part of the May 2019 security patch, are receiving the support for Night mode on the ultra-wide angle lens.

Galaxy S10 Night mode update

The dedicated Night mode feature was included in the update to April 2019 security patch, but the latest version is here to improve it. The same update also adds Live Focus to the telephoto lens, allowing users to capture closeup bokeh photos without moving physically. Of course, this update is limited to the S10 and S10+ since the S10e doesn’t have a third, telephoto lens.

May 21, 2019: Reports coming in suggest Samsung is lining up a new Cardinal Red color variant for the Galaxy S10 and S10+ phones. Yes, this is just a new paint job and nothing else about the phones changes.

May 18, 2019: Samsung will be at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo Japan to shine on with the Galaxy S10+ Olympic Games Edition, more than a year since the original phone launched. It’s strange why Samsung would want to launch a dated phone in conjunction with such a huge sporting event, but hey, we don’t make the rules.

The phone has been launched in partnership with local carrier Docomo and will be sold in Prism White with a Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games logo on the back. Only 10,000 units will be produced and apparently, a pair of special Galaxy Buds featuring Galaxy Buds with the Tokyo 2020 logo on the case will be included.

April 19, 2019: It has been rumored before that Samsung was working on a dedicated Night mode for the camera with an end-of-April release date. Well, it appears that the update that started rolling out yesterday in Europe with April 2019 security patches also tags along the new dedicated Night mode feature.

With the update now rolling out in more markets across Europe and Asia where models SM-G970F, SM-G973F, and SM-G975F of the S10e, S10, and S10+ are sold, respectively, more people are now able to see the Night mode in their camera apps.

See the image below for an idea of how the new addition looks like.

April 18, 2019: Plenty of Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ users on Sprint have reported LTE connectivity issues with their units. Sprint has since rolled out two software updates, but the carrier says none of them was meant to fix these issues. Instead, they were meant to protect unaffected units from getting the same LTE issues.

Now, to cool things off, Sprint has confirmed that it will be replacing Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ units affected by these LTE issues, but there is a catch or perhaps two. Find out more about these catches and everything else about this program here.

Elsewhere in Europe, the Galaxy S10 series is receiving an update that introduces a dedicated Night mode in the camera app for taking better shots at night. This feature has been in the rumor mills for a while, but it now arrives as part of April 2019 security patches. More to this here.
