Sprint & Verizon Galaxy A50 One UI 2.0 (Android 10) update imminent - PiunikaWeb

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on March 26, 2020) follows:

Stories of the upcoming Samsung One UI 2.5 and One UI 2.1 updates have been doing rounds all over the web, leaving many owners of Samsung devices yet to receive the One UI 2.0 update wondering when their chance will come.

Matter of fact, some are even surprised that One UI 2.1 update is already rolling out to the likes of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 series, yet they’ve yet to get a taste of the now older One UI 2.0 skin.

Of course, the One UI 2.1 skin will at some point make it to some of the devices that get updated to One UI 2.0 such as Galaxy Note 9 and S9, but there is no official roadmap yet. More so, nothing is concrete when it comes to the budget handsets like the Galaxy A50.

Sure, the Galaxy A50 Android 10 update is already out there. The OS was released a few weeks ago in Korea and India and is expected to keep spreading to more markets in the coming weeks.

For Sprint and Verizon Wireless owners of this device, it appears that the wait won’t be too long. This is after Android 10 test firmware versions for the two carrier variants popped up online, suggesting that works on the OS are already underway.

Discovered via the CheckFirm app (available for download in the Google Play Store), the One UI 2.0 test firmware has software version A505USQU5BTC5 on both Verizon Wireless and Sprint, which isn’t unexpected.

The existing Pie-based firmware has build number ATB4 while the test firmware has build number BTC5. The jump from A to B in the build numbers usually represent an OS upgrade, so yeah, this is Samsung working on the One UI 2.0 update for Sprint and Verizon Galaxy A50 variants.

The story is pretty much the same across Europe, with an updated test firmware version A505FNXXU4BTC9 doing rounds on the web, also suggesting that the rollout to Android 10 for this model isn’t too far away.

Unfortunately, we can’t give you an exact date as to when to expect the Galaxy A50 One UI 2.0 update to hit the U.S. variants, but these developments do suggest the rollout is imminent.

We will have our eyes on the developments and update this story when the OS begins rolling out. Stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.

Update (March 30, 2020)

According to Samsung support, the U.S. variant of the Galaxy A50 will begin receiving the update to One UI 2.0 on March 31, 2020.

UBports GSI brings Ubuntu Touch to any Project Treble-supported Android device - XDA Developers

Image
The ability to boot an AOSP Generic System Image (GSI) on a compatible Android device is one of the best outcomes of Project Treble, but a similar achievement has yet to be made in the domain of generic kernel development. Google does mandate a minimum Linux kernel version requirement with each new release of Android, but you still can’t simply flash a generic ARM Linux distribution on your Android smartphone and expect it to work due to the fact that the majority of the Android devices are not using a mainline Linux kernel. There exists a community-driven project named UBports that aims to bring Ubuntu Touch (a mobile version of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution) to Android devices, but their device support is fairly minimal to date. XDA Recognized Developer erfanoabdi, however, is trying to tackle the situation from a different angle. Instead of waiting for device-specific patches to be landed in the mainline Linux kernel source tree, the developer has successfully created a G
