download android 10 for samsung galaxy note 9

Samsung just rolled out the One UI 2.1 firmware update for the Galaxy Note 9 series. Earlier, we got the same update for the Samsung Galaxy S10e, S10 and S10 Plus. The manufacturer soon announced One UI 2.1 update for the Galaxy S9 series and Note 9 as well. The reason why everyone is so excited about One UI 2.1 OTA is basically because it brings all the features from the latest flagship Galaxy S20. Here, download and install One UI 2.1 firmware update for Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

One UI 2.1 update for the Note 9 features new firmware build number N960FXXU5ETF5 for the Exynos or global variants with June 2020 security patch level. The update is currently live in Germany, Europe and will soon spread to other regions of EU and Asia. However, thatโ€™s not stopping any of us to update our devices. You can simply grab the OTA update from below and flash it onto your Note 9. Alternatively, you can also download the full stock firmware directly from Samsung servers and upgrade to OneUI 2.1 via Odin Flash Tool. The update will soon come to the United States as well for the Snapdragon variants. So stay tuned!

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.
