In a startling turn of events, an 11-minute video of Android 10 "Queen Cake" running on the Samsung Galaxy S10+ has leaked out today. This video comes from Brazilian YouTuber . He goes over some basic changes in One UI 2.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S10+ and how it compares to One UI 1.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S9+. While I’m not 100% sure this is legitimate, the SecurityLogAgent notification I spotted is a tell-tale sign that a non-official binary is being run on the device. This along with a few build numbers I saw makes me think this is legitimate, but I can’t be sure until Samsung officially announces the update.
New Gestures:
One of the first changes that Dudu shows off in the video is the new gesture navigation. These are the new Gestures that Google introduced in Android 10. It has both the back button gesture triggered by swiping from the left or right sides and the swipe up to go home gesture. While I am personally not a fan of this gesture design, it is good to see some consistency between Android devices. This is something that has been lacking in the past.
Quick Settings:
The next new feature he showed off is the new Quick Settings tiles. Samsung seems to be keeping the One UI aesthetic with its new update. This time, Samsung is extending it to take up the entire screen. It seems like they are moving the clock up and just trying to use the whole screen. This is both good and bad, in my view. On the one hand, this takes away from the one-handed approach Samsung pushed with One UI, but on the other hand, it is also making use of all the screen real estate they have in devices getting as large as 6.8-inches. The new media bar that Samsung added in the Galaxy Note 10 can also be found here.
Security Settings:
Next, are the new security settings. This is called “Local” and above that the “Privacy” section. These are the new Android privacy features Samsung added in Android 10. While he didn’t check out these options, it’s likely the new features allow more control over your permissions and location settings. These are currently in most Android 10 devices, so this isn’t Samsung-specific.
