Android 10 for Galaxy A70

The biggest change in the Android 10 update is the addition of One UI 2. Samsung has completely overhauled its One UI. The One UI 2, at first, fixes everything that was wrong in the original One UI. With the new One UI 2, the animations of the entire UI have got a lot more fluid. One UI 2 also brings a better integration of the One-Handed mode. Samsung Galaxy A70 owners can also enjoy the native screen recorder, it will appear in the toggles of the phone. Another notable feature of the new Android 10 update is how the call pop-up appears especially when you are playing a game or watching a video. You can also change the size of this call pop-up using the phone app’s settings.

Samsung One UI 2 also gives you better control over your notifications. It changes the icons and some menus in the settings application. The icons are also slightly changed for the apps on the home screen and inside the app drawer. Furthermore, you can now enjoy the Dynamic Lock Screen on the phone as well. The fingerprint scanner’s icon can now appear on the AOD screen. The Camera app has got a new “More” section which now houses all features like Super SLOW-MO, Night Mode, Panorama, Pro Mode, and other important modes. Apart from all these goodies, Samsung has massively improved the performance and battery life of the device. To learn more about the new Android 10, you can definitely take a look at the One UI 2’s changelog.

What I just wrote above, it all comes from my personal experience and to be honest, I have liked the One UI 2 on the Galaxy A70 more than anything else. Another thing that I’d like Samsung to fix on this phone is its camera. The camera of the A70 needs an overhaul in terms of quality, but it’s not just happened yet.

Updating Galaxy A70 to Android 10

There are two methods to get Android 10 on your Galaxy A70 right now. The first and easiest one is the OTA update. You can just go to your Phone’s Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for update. If Samsung has rolled out the Android 10 for your region, you will get the update there. For example, at the moment, the A70’s Android 10 has rolled out in Ukraine and the Ukranian users are receiving the OTA update. But if the update is not out for your region yet, you can download the Android 10 manually and install it via Odin. The first method is something that you can pretty much do on your own, but the 2nd method needs a proper guide to be followed. So, down here in this post, you will find the steps to download Galaxy A70 Android 10, and then the steps to install Android 10 on the Galaxy A70.
