Samsung OneUI 2.0
This 2.0 user interface is not as feature rich as its predecessor. This is partly because most of Android 10's features are already part of Samsung's software (One UI and Samsung Experience). The only noticeable change is the addition of Digital Wellbeing features.
Some of the other changes include those to the Files and Contacts app, which will now allow you to 'store' deleted contacts for up to a fortnight. Almost everything else is a cosmetic or quality of life change, simply improving Samsung's software.
Android 10 will be available to more Galaxy S10e users based in the European Union in the coming days. Carrier-unlocked devices should receive the software before their carrier-locked counterparts. It should arrive in other regions starting in January, according to Samsung's Android 10 roadmap.
