Galaxy S10 5G was Samsung’s best 5G smartphone. In fact, it was also the world’s first commercially available 5G phone. The device was first launched in the company’s main market in South Korea in April 2019. Now, more than 4 years after its release, Samsung is ending software support for this phone. The product will no longer receive any firmware updates unless necessary.

In August, Samsung ended software support for the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus and Galaxy S10e. The two remaining phones in the lineup, namely the Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy S10 Lite, were left out as they were released later. As of June 2019, the Galaxy S10 5G has reached most target markets. So the company stopped supporting the software after 4 years of regular updates.

In its entire existence, the first Samsung 5G smartphone has received three Android updates. It was released with Android 9.0 Pie and currently runs Android 12. The phone received monthly security updates for the first three years. Last year, it was reduced to quarterly updates.

The Galaxy S10 Lite, on the other hand, will continue to receive quarterly updates until the beginning of 2024. This is because it was launched a year after the first four Galaxy S10 devices. Also, unlike other models, it runs Android 13 as it was released with Android 10.

The Galaxy 10 5G is larger than the Galaxy S10 Plus with a 6.7-inch screen. It is backed by a larger 4500mAh battery with 25W charging support. It also has an additional 0.3 MP TOF depth camera.
