The latest update for the carrier-locked Galaxy S10 trio in the US is rolling out with firmware version G97*USQU6IVC7. We can confirm that the new OTA (over the air) package is available to T-Mobile users. Other carriers should also soon join the party. The update comes with the April 2022 Android security patch. This month’s SMR (Security Maintenance Release) contains fixes for more than 80 vulnerabilities, including a few critical ones. However, it’s One UI 4.1 that we are more interested in. The new version brings several new features and enhancements to Samsung’s custom software. Compatible devices can now capture portrait videos at 3X zoom. The Gallery app is adding several new editing and organizing capabilities. These include photo remastering, portrait relighting, enhanced Object Eraser, and the ability to convert motion photos to still images. Smart Widgets let you save space on your home screen by intelligently combining multiple widgets that automatically rotate to show one at a time. You can also swipe left or right to quickly find the desired widget. Google Duo Live Sharing, improved Samsung Health, more customization options via Color Palette, Grammarly-integrated Samsung Keyboard, improved AR Emoji, and new actions for Bixby Routines are some other notable new features of One UI 4.1. Samsung has also included the GOS-related changes in this version.
