Samsung Galaxy S10 5G was the first 5G flagship smartphone of the South Korean giant. It was widely available in global markets after a release in its homeland in April 2019. As the phone has now completed over four years since launch, the company will no longer roll out updates for the smartphone unless it is an exceptional case.

According to Gizmochina, the company sacked software support for Galaxy S10, S10 Plus and S10e smartphones in August last year. On the other hand, Galaxy S10 5G and S10 Lite still received updates after the stated period. As the phone has already reached many of its software milestones, Samsung is finally pausing OS updates for the S10 5G.
