Once the Galaxy Unpacked event ended yesterday, Samsung also announced Android 11-based One UI 3 Developer Beta for the Galaxy S20 series. Currently, the program is limited to South Korean and US variants of the handset. As for the latter, only T-Mobile/Sprint and Unlocked versions are eligible.
Samsung has been long known for delivering the latest Android update to its devices later than most brands. But lately, the company has improved a lot since it brought One UI, a revamped Android skin replacing Samsung Experience, which replaced TouchWiz.
Last year, the South Korean tech giant started One UI 2.0 developer beta a month later Google released Android 10. But in 2020, the company has already opened registrations for One UI 3 based on Android 11, which is yet to be released by Google.
Additionally, at the very end of launch event yesterday, Samsung also promised three generations of Android updates to its flagship smartphones from Galaxy S10 series.
That means the current-gen Samsung flagships will receive up to Android 13 and the last-gen devices will receive up to Android 12. Though the software support is not as good as on iPhones, it is surely better than in previous years.
Having said, below-listed are the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ (Plus), and Galaxy S20 Ultra models eligible for One UI 3 Developer Beta for the time being.
