What will Android 10 bring to Samsung phones?
Aside from the standard Android 10 features, Samsung is promising smaller pop-up notifications, embedded loading indicators and simplified button arrangements with the new update to minimise distractions when you’re watching content on your smartphone.
The OS will also feature new digital wellness features as well as a more advanced dark mode and a smarter lock screen to automatically adjust colours to preserve your battery and to keep your text and icons visible.
