Google released Android 13 to the public on August 15, 2022, while Samsung started the One UI 5.0 Beta activity for Galaxy phones in early August. Android OS updates are important because they bring new features and functionality to your phone.
If you have a recent Samsung phone, like the Galaxy S22 Ultra or Galaxy A53 5G, you don’t have to worry about its software feeling outdated anytime soon. That’s because Samsung has committed to offering four generations of Android operating system upgrades for the Galaxy S21 and later models. However, there’re still a list of Samsung devices that won’t be able to get this major upgrade.
LIST OF SAMSUNG PHONES THAT ARE INELIGIBLE TO GET ANDROID 13
- Galaxy Note 10
- Galaxy Note 10+
- Galaxy Note 10+ 5G
- Galaxy S10
- Galaxy S10e
- Galaxy S10+
- Galaxy S10 5G

Starting with the Android 10-based One UI 2.x, Samsung delivered the Android 11-based One UI 3.x and the Android 12-based One UI 4.x upgrades to the Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10 5G smartphones.
Owners who use Galaxy Note 10 and S10 lineups devices are ineligible to get any more major firmware. But don’t worry, Samsung will provide two more years of regular security updates to all of these devices following its February 2019’s promise.
