Talking about the changelog, the Android 10 update for Galaxy S10 series phones in India brings One UI 2 that introduces some notable visual tweaks such as dark mode with enhanced image, text, and colour adjustments, new layouts for titles and buttons for better use of screen space, and updated iconography.

Support for gesture navigations also arrives, alongside smoother animations, and a new way to enable the one-handed mode by double-tapping the home button or swiping down in the centre of the bottom of the screen. The SmartThings panel has been replaced with Media and Devices after the Android 10 update. Moreover, battery limit setting and other enhancements have been added for Wireless PowerShare.

Coming to the camera app, the Android 10 update for the Galaxy S10 trio in India adds the ability to edit the modes that appear at the bottom of the screen.
