The Samsung Galaxy S20 soon to be boosted by the Note 20 software!Like last year, Samsung is wasting no time after the marketing of its Galaxy Note 20 to provide its previous standards with its latest software advances. The Samsung Galaxy S20 and other flagships will soon benefit from the One UI 2.5 interface! The opportunity to come back to some very geek points!
Online since August 21, this update, which includes some of the features characteristic of the Note 20 series, will be gradually applied to other Galaxy devices.

As on other smartphones, it is also possible in software to adapt the sound recording to the zoom level. But Samsung does even better by offering to use its Galaxy Buds as “lavalier” type microphones …
And more…
Samsung also promises new features to more easily manage its notes, including those of the audio type. “With the Audio Bookmark feature, you can synchronize your notes with audio recordings of lectures or meetings,” he writes. To see if all this will also synchronize with OneNote from Microsoft …
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S20s should be able to connect to certain smart TVs, with DeX as long as they are compatible … The list of devices that will benefit from these improvements is quite extensive: Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, S20 Ultra, S20 + 5G, S20 + , S20 5G, S20 / S10 5G, S10 +, S10, S10e, S10 Lite, S9, S9 + / Note10 + 5G, Note10 +, Note10 5G, Note10, Note10 Lite, Note9 / Z Flip 5G, Z Flip, Fold 5G, Fold.
