Samsung refreshed its Galaxy S line with the official release of Galaxy S10 smartphones just last month. In the meantime, official TWRP support is now available for Exynos Galaxy S10 Plus. However, there is no word about the Exynos S10e and all Snapdragon S10 models that may take a little longer to get the TWRP support.
