Samsung expands One UI 2.5 rollout to Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A90 5G

The update is currently rolling out in India, Sri Lanka, and South Korea.

What you need to know

Samsung has begun expanding its rollout of the One UI 2.5 update to both the Galaxy A50 and the Galaxy A90 5G.
Alongside better performance, the update brings with it an improved Samsung Keyboard, enhanced camera features, and more.
The A50 update is currently rolling out in India and Sri Lanka, while the A91 5G update is available to South Korean users.

More than four months after its debut alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series, Samsung's One UI 2.5 update is finally rolling out to more of its mid-range lineup. Galaxy A50 owners in Sri Lanka and India and Galaxy A90 5G users in South Korea should have started receiving the update on their phones this week, reports SamMobile.

The update brings with it a plethora of new features, including Wireless DeX support, an improved Samsung Keyboard with a split layout and YouTube search functionality, Bitmoji stickers for the Always On Display, a Pro Video mode, SOS calling and location sharing, and a whole lot more.

And, of course, these updates also include the latest security updates from Google — namely the December 2020 security patch.

Unfortunately, the rollout is currently limited to only a select few countries. Firmware version A505FDDU5BTL1 is rolling out to Galaxy A50 devices in both India and Sri Lanka and has a download size of almost 1.2GB, while Galaxy A90 5G users in South Korea should be seeing firmware version A908NKSU3CTL3 on their phones. Samsung will likely be expanding availability to other countries soon.

If you're in one of those locations and still haven't received an update notification, you can check for it manually by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

Samsung had previously begun rolling out the update for its Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 devices back in October.

Still good value

$349 at Amazon

A great deal

The Galaxy A50 continues to be a great value a year after its launch. You get the same screen, battery life, and internal hardware as the A51, and some great new software features, thanks to the upcoming One UI 2.5 update.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
