Samsung's current mass market flagship device, the Galaxy Note 10, continues to set high standards for what a flagship smartphone ought to be like. Of course, we are discounting the fact that the $2,000 Galaxy Fold is also available for those who have plenty of additional cash to spare and want an attention-seeking multipurpose communications device. As for the everyman's Galaxy Note 10, it is nice to hear that Samsung has recently confirmed the impending release of Android 10 beta for the handset. 

It was some time in early October when Samsung made the announcement for the Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta that is slated for release on the Galaxy S10 series smartphones. This particular beta program would have rolled out a slew of Android 10 exclusive features to the following: the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and the Galaxy S10e. Apart from that, the One UI 2.0 beta update would also be accompanied by a range of subtle user interface changes that will help streamline Samsung's own software collection.

A good example of that would be the decrease in size for the caller notification and volume bar, making sure that they do not end up intruding on your overall user experience but rather, remain subtle enough so that the user can take the appropriate action if required without disrupting the overall user experience. Hence, for the One UI 2.0 beta to make its way to the newer Note 10 series is good news. 

There was a recent post that appeared on the Samsung community which saw word of the beta program making its way to the Galaxy Note 10 family. This includes the vanilla Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy Note 10 5G and the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G as well. Unfortunately for owners of any of these devices, there is no exact timeline as to when Samsung would roll it out. 

It does not matter whether your Galaxy Note 10 device is carrier locked or unlocked, the update will still work fine on either. Users who are interested can take part in the beta from within the Samsung Members app when it goes live. 

What other changes will accompany the One UI 2.0 beta? Well, the same beta did extend the Dark Mode to the home screen for Galaxy S10 users, making this a nice feature to have on the Galaxy Note 10 range as well considering the larger viewing real estate on these devices. In Dark Mode, Samsung intends to reduce the amount of eye fatigue for users who continue fiddling with their devices in the dark. Samsung claims that another advantage of Dark Mode would be improved battery life as it performs adjustments to the brightness of images, texts and colors on the display. 

In addition, this particular software update would introduce minor changes to the Smart Lock screen that will be able to automatically perform color adjustment of the text on the lock screen. There will also be additional tools for digital wellness such as the Focus mode. It is always encouraging to see companies keep their hardware up-to-date with the latest software updates.
