One UI 5: Android 13 Is Coming To The Galaxy S10, But Definitely Not The Version You Think

Out of all the Samsung phones expected to receive the Android 13 update, the Galaxy S10 isn't among them. However, that's not true of the entire S10 lineup. One of these phones will be upgraded, and all of a sudden, it's the Galaxy S10 Lite.

Samsung has started rolling out the stable version of One UI 5, first updated for the Galaxy S22 series. Samsung also announced the update schedule on the community website .

The long list of phones reveals that the company expects the Galaxy S10 Lite to receive the update sometime in December. Though Lite is probably not the S10 variant most people want One UI 5 for.

If you're wondering why the Galaxy S10 Lite qualifies for One UI 5 and not the higher-end versions, it's because the S10 Lite is released with Android 10, while the others are Android 9. As such, the S10 Lite is eligible to receive three major Android updates up to Android 13.

Unlike other phones that receive the update, the Galaxy S10 Lite will not be participating in Samsung's One UI 5 beta program. The update will only arrive when Samsung thinks it's ready.
