Any info on the Android 10 Update and OneUI for the Samsung A70? I've read online that it's been held off indefinitely due to certain models of the phone bricking once updated, due to different PCBs in the various versions of the A70. Mine is model SM-A705W (in Canada), and I'm still on the December 2019 security update as well, even though it's almost May, and my wife's A50 has received the March 2020 security update. To say that I'm unimpressed with this phone would be an understatement, coming from a Nokia that got updates and security patches almost instantly. 

Samsung seems very lipped about this, as information is sparce at best, mainly coming from 3rd party sources. I purchased this phone knowing  that we would at least be getting the Android 10 update, now it's looking like that may not happen? I'm starting to think I should return it and go with an A71, or current Nokia as opposed to this model, which hasn't provided a single update since purchase. 

Can anyone advise, or add any potential information regarding this issue? Anyone else with an A70 experiencing the same issue? Thanks everyone.

Well, brought back the A70, I'm glad I did, the A71 is a far better phone, already running Android 10 and at least has the February 2020 security updates.

why does the a50 get more updates even though the a70 is more expensive and has higher specs?

Why do people keep wondering? You are all aware of the Samsung Members app? there is updates and tells you about system update releases?

 

This was updated on the 24th of April after the original early part of April rollout was canned due to the tech issue with the old motherboard.

For those who are interested, it seems our A70 will get the update on May 25. Here the article explaining why it takes so long getting the update.
