Samsung has been swiftly updating its devices with the latest One UI 3.0 based on Android 11. Right after the initial developer beta, it powered through the beta program for present and yesteryear flagships to reach the stable update stage this month. And now, it has come down to the budget M series of devices.
As Sammobile reports, Samsung has finally announced the beta program for the Galaxy M31 in India. To get things out of the way, for the Beta program, you need to enroll via the Samsung Members App. After opening the app, you will see a One UI banner. Click on that to complete the registration process.
Anyway, the first One UI Core 3.0 Beta carrying the firmware version M315FDDU2ZTLF will rollout to the registered devices. It brings the new Android 11 OS upgrade and December 2020 security patch along with it. That said, we advise you to be wary of the initial Beta build as there is a possibility of bugs.
EDITOR’S PICK: One UI 3.1 already in the works; likely to debut at the Samsung Galaxy S21 series event
Apart from the Android 11 features like chat bubbles, revamped notifications you should also see new features of One UI 3.0 in the update. However, since this is a budget device, Samsung might limit certain features of the One UI Core. In case you don’t know, Samsung uses One UI Core instead of full-fledged One UI for budget devices like the M-series.
Nevertheless, the early Beta signals a stable update sooner than the scheduled timeline(March 2021) for the device. If you are living in India, you can check for the first Beta(after registering) by navigating to Settings->Software Update-> Download and Install.
Samsung announced the One UI 3.0 back in August. It has already updated the flagships like the Galaxy S20 series(incl S20 FE), Note 20 series, Galaxy S10 Lite, and Z Flip 5G.
