Software Update Brings New Features to Samsung Galaxy Note 10 & S10

A new software update available for Samsung’s Galaxy S10e, S10 and S10+ devices introduces many bar-raising innovations including features like AR Doodle, a built-in video editor and Link to Windows integration

With the new updates, users will notice their smartphone’s camera has become even more powerful. The update expands the camera’s Night Mode to include support for the front-facing camera as well.

The updates also introduces enhanced Super steady video stabilisation, as well as support for dynamic Galaxy Note10 functions like AR Doodle and Live focus video recording. The former lets users enhance their videos with augmented-reality drawings and messages, while the latter lets them apply bokeh effects (including blur, big circle, colour point and glitch) to videos recorded with the front or rear camera.

The camera’s new, Gallery app-accessible video editor offers all the tools users need to turn it into a shareworthy video. This feature makes it easy to edit videos and features simple tools for trimming clips, stitching them together, adjusting playback speed and more. You can even use the function to add subtitles and background music to clips to make your content unique.

The update also incorporates support for Samsung DeX for PC. Once users download the app from SamsungDeX.com, they’ll be able to launch Samsung DeX on their PC or Mac simply by connecting their Galaxy S10 to their computer via USB cable.

Link to Windows support has also been added, which means that Galaxy S10 users will be able to wirelessly connect their phone to their Windows 10 PC and easily view its contents, send and receive messages, and sync recent photos directly from their computer.

Galaxy S10 apps including Samsung Pass and Messages, have also been made more versatile and convenient. Now, Samsung Pass’s setup has been simplified, making it easier for Galaxy S10 users to utilise their device’s advanced biometric technologies to log in to apps and websites quickly and securely.

In the Messages app, new icons for adding photos and videos have been positioned to the left of the text window to offer users easy access to the files they need.

Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa, the Galaxy S10’s update reflects Samsung’s commitment to offering more users access to exceptional innovations.
