Updated: Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus also gets One UI 2.1 firmware update with build number N970FXXU3CTC9 and N975FXXU3CTC9. Download here! After a number of beta firmware updates, Samsung finally released stable version of the One UI 2.0 firmware for the 10 generation flagships. The Galaxy S10e, S10, and the S10 Plus finally received their first stable Android 10 update at the end of last year 2019 with build number BSKO. Same goes for the Snapdragon S10 series in the USA; except it received the update in January 2020. Soon after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra, the manufacturer promised all its new features will come to the S10 series phones as well. The day has finally arrived with Samsung Galaxy S10 receiving One UI 2.1 firmware update with all the latest Galaxy S20 features.

The new One UI 2.1 update for the S10 series features new firmware build numbers G975FXXU4CTC9 for the Galaxy S10+, G973FXXU4CTC9 for the Galaxy S10, and finally G970FXXU4CTC9 for the Galaxy S10e. The update is currently live in Germany, Europe. So you can say the update process has begun and soon it will come to other parts of Europe and Asia; then eventually to the Snapdragon S10 variants in USA. You can wait for the update to arrive for your Exynos S10 device or simply download the full stock One UI 2.1 firmware update from below and update manually via Odin Flash Tool.

Some of the features of One UI 2.1 include the popular Single Take camera feature from the Galaxy S20 series. This feature automatically shoots photos and videos with all of the cameras and functions, then pulls out the best shots and moments in one album. However, this feature may take a whole lot of space on your phone. Quick share is another cool feature. It is like the Aridrop (from Apple iPhones) for the Samsung devices.

Another great camera feature is the Pro mode for videos! This allows you to set ISO, exposure, etc. while video recording as well. Other camera updates induce AR zone, single take, professional video, own filters, selfie sound, time lapse for the night and a mode for recording videos with the front camera in FHD / UHD at 60 fps. Rest are updated Gallery apps with new functions, updated Samsung keyboard, Music Share, and AR Emoji. The complete changelog is listed below.

Here in this tutorial we will show you how to update all of your Samsung Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ variants to the latest One UI 2.1 firmware update still based on Android 10 build CTC9. This can be done for both – previous One UI 2.0 firmware or even the Android 9.0 Pie OS update.

• The recommended method is flashing the full stock firmware using Odin FlashTool. However, this will also factory reset your device and you will lose all data. So it is recommended that you backup your phone completely!
• The second option is to wait for the OTA update to become live in your location, then go to Settings > System Updates > Download OTA updates manually.
