Samsung is, no doubt, a big player in the smartphone industry. But over time, the South Korean giant has been behind when it comes to the area of Android updates.

It appears this is about to change however, considering new leaks from online benchmarking tools. The leaks reveal test software on the Galaxy S10, that is more up to date than ever before.



Just as the Galaxy S8 was launched early last year, and the Galaxy S9 was launched early this year, it is expected that the Galaxy S10 will launch early next year. Samsung is currently carrying out tests on the software and hardware of the upcoming device.

Apparently, rolling out updates to Android is not an easy task. That is why Google started the Android One programme. However, since Samsung places much importance on its visual identity (via TouchWiz), the Android One programme may not exactly work well.

The introduction of the Project Treble feature by Google in Android 8 Oreo means that things might actually speed up, even for Samsung. Online benchmarking tools are already reporting the Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965) running Android 9 Pie.

What this whole thing means is that Galaxy S9 and S9+ users may likely get the update to Android 9 Pie sooner than expected. It also means that we can expect faster updates even of the Galaxy S10.
