Samsung Galaxy Note 10 One UI 2.1 Features:
1. Quick Share:
The Galaxy S20 made it easy to share your favorite content with friends and family—and now, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 users can enjoy the same seamless experience.
Share content fast with Quick Share. Quick Share shows you which of your contacts are nearby, and lets you send photos, videos or even large files to multiple people at the same time. Just tap and send—it’s as easy as that.
The Quick Share lets users share files with up to 5 friends at once with no device pairing required. Samsung’s Quick Share feature, in fact, has a benefit over Apple’s AirDrop, which only works for one recipient at a time.

2. Music Share:
The Music Share feature allows you to easily share your Bluetooth speaker or headset that is already connected to your device with others. Say your phone is connected via Bluetooth to a car stereo or portable speaker. With Music Share, instead of disconnecting your phone so someone else can pair their device and take a turn, you can simply extend your connection to someone else, and give them a turn as DJ.

4. Single take:
With Single Take, users can stay in the moment while they capture the moment. Single Take uses multiple lenses and camera features—like ultra-wide, telephoto, slow-mo, and more—to shoot a collection of photos and videos at once, and uses AI to recommend the best for you. So, all you have to do is start shooting and choose the best shot later.
Single Take lets you shoot for up to 10 seconds and get back a variety of formats—meaning you can choose the best style for the moment without having to reshoot. You can use Single Take to create photo clips of scenes, objects, and people.

5. Night Hyper Lapse Mode:
You can capture the night in a totally unique way. Advanced low light technology gives you the ability to shoot video with long exposure-style captures so your video features striking light trails.
Hyperlapse is a feature that allows you to create your own time-lapse video. It records at various frame rates which automatically adjust to what you’re recording. In addition, an improved Night Mode is coming to get great photos even in low light.
You can use the ‘Night hyperlapse’ function in the camera to take dynamic night videos. To enable night hyperlapse mode, open the Camera app, tap MORE menu and tap hyperlapse, and tap the moon icon.
6. Shutter Button:
On the Galaxy S20, Samsung brought a new camera shortcut button. Instead of tapping and swiping to switch camera modes, you can get a habit of long-pressing the shutter button. If you press and hold the Shutter button in the Camera app, the device starts recording videos. Doing so will instantly begin recording, and save you the time it takes to switch from photo to video mode.
Keep pressing the shutter button for a little while and you’ll have a nice little GIF in absolutely no time. Now, instead of pressing the shutter button, you just have to swipe it to the edge of the screen to take several photos or burst shots.
You can also move the shutter button to a new place. For that just tap and drag on the shutter button when you are in the camera app, and move it wherever you want on the screen. The app will remember the place for you next time.
7. Display setting – New Dark Mode setting and Apply dark mode to wallpapers:
The Galaxy S20 has a built-in dark mode that turns all of the bright background colors to dark. It also helps improve battery life. You can set up the dark mode by going to Settings > Display > Dark mode settings. You will see an easy option to pick from Light Theme and Dark Theme, which wasn’t there on One UI 2.0.
In addition, you can enable dark mode by going to the quick settings menu, there’s a dark mode toggle too. You can tap on that to switch between dark and light modes instantly. The Dark mode will automatically be enabled if you turn on battery saver modes.
You can also adjust other settings on this page. You can apply Dark mode to your phone’s wallpaper. This option is accessible from the Home screen of the phone.

For videographers who want more control over how they record, this update will also bring Pro Video. Users can get manual control over settings like ISO, shutter speed and exposure level, so they can capture the scene just the way they like. And now, you can switch between the front and rear cameras while recording video with Front & Rear Video Recording.
14. Quick Crop:
With Quick Crop, Samsung is taking the time out of basic photo editing. Just zoom in on an image in the Gallery and crop it to any size.

Clean View automatically groups together similar shots of the same subject—like landscapes, family, pets and more—for a more organized gallery. You can even select your favorite as the group’s thumbnail.
16. My Filters:
When you want to take a picture with an effect you like, just save an image into the Gallery app, and the AI of the Galaxy S20 series will extract the color filter based on the filter database.
