Samsung's hero budget phone, the Galaxy A10e, just got a bit better, at least as far as security is concerned. The Galaxy A10e with model number SM-A102U is getting a new update that includes the May 2020 security patch, pushing the firmware version to A102USQS6ATD5.
As you probably know by now, the Galaxy A10e was Samsung's best selling smartphone – budget or no – in the USA by the end of the first quarter of the year. This means that the latest update and May 2020 security patch is reaching a large number of Galaxy A10e units, so don't be surprised if you haven't received an update notification just yet. If you haven't, you can attempt to trigger the update by opening Settings, accessing Software updates and tapping Download and install. Alternatively, you can check our firmware archive to download firmware version A102USQS6ATD5 for the Galaxy A10e SM-A102U and install the update using a Windows PC.
No additional features appear to have been added with this latest release, and although the phone should be getting Android 10 at some point in the future, it remains at the Android 9 level for the time being. However, if you own a Galaxy A10e in the USA and you've noticed any changes, feel free to let us know in the comment section.
