Samsung Galaxy M10, M20 Android 9 Pie Update Rolling Out in India; Gets HEIF Images, Night Mode Support

With One UI update for both Galaxy M10 (review) and M20, Night mode also debuts. Another solid feature that makes an entry on both phones is the support for HEIF (High-Efficiency Image File) image format. The HEIF format allows the camera to take snaps in smaller file size in comparison to the standard JPEG format. The HEIF format cuts down the image file size by half when compared to JPEG. So, now with this new ability, the cameras on Galaxy M10 and M20 will use lesser storage space.

Adaptive Themes, Scene Optimizer, and More With Latest Update

Other features that debut with the update include Adaptive themes and new emojis for the Samsung keyboard. The camera app on the Galaxy M20 gets a new Scene Optimizer that automatically tweaks the color setting. The Gallery app on both phones gets new tools for photo editing. The Galaxy M10 misses out on the Scene Optimizer feature for its camera app.

The Galaxy M10 and M20 users can check for the update manually by heading to the Settings > Software Update. If it shows an update after searching, then click on Download updates manually to trigger installation. We suggest our readers ensure that their phone is connected to a WiFi connection before going ahead with the installation as the file size is big.
