According to the reports(via 1,2), Galaxy S10 Lite is getting the latest One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 update via OTA. The update with firmware G770FXXU3DTL1(Global), and G770U1UEU2CTL3 (US) is rolling out to the users. Precisely, the USA, Russia, Spain, UAE, Panama, and India are the countries to get it (as of writing this).

Although it doesn’t mean a worldwide rollout(all countries), we can say that it isn’t that far away now. Anyway, the update weighs about 2.4GB in size and brings the latest features of the new UI. Additionally, you can also expect Google’s Android 11 features like chat bubbles(conversations), media controls, improved permission management, and organized notifications.

Additionally, the XDA report says that Samsung hasn’t incremented the Bootloader version which means you can manually revert back to Android 10. However, we wouldn’t recommend you do that unless you know the exact procedure for it. Some of the other improvements include:

  • Digital Wellbeing
  • Parental controls
  • Improvements to Samsung Internet, Samsung Keyboard
  • Bixby Routines
  • Revamped Settings, Quick Settings.

Having said that, the device reportedly lacks Samsung DeX even after the update. In any case, the Galaxy S10 Lite users must feel lucky as it’s official timeline for Europe and India indicated a January rollout.

And if you are someone who is living in either of the regions mentioned above, you can check the OTA update by navigating to Settings->Software Updates-> Download and Install. That said, Apart from refreshing the UI and Android, the update also brings December 2020 security patch.

Nevertheless, this could be a signal for an imminent rollout to the rest of the Galaxy S10 series(S10, S10+, S10e) going forward.
