Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A02s and Galaxy A12 in late November. Despite being announced at the end of 2020, these phones debuted with Android 10-based One UI Core 2.x. Now, months after their release, this duo is finally receiving the Android 11 update.
The Android 11 update for the Samsung Galaxy A02s and the Galaxy A12 arrives as One UI Core 3.1. Interestingly, the update is currently live in the same region for both handsets.
The Galaxy A02s and the Galaxy A12 Android 11 update is right now live in Russia with firmware version A025FXXU2BUDC and A125FXXU1BUE3 respectively. Apart from bringing new features and visual changes, the new software build also bumps up the security patch level.
However, the security patches rolling out with the One UI Core 3.1 update on the two phones are different. The Galaxy A02s is receiving the April 2021 security patches, whereas the Galaxy A12 is getting the latest May 2021 security patches.
Either way, the new system update for this duo is being pushed in batches. Hence, it might take some time to reach every unit out there in Russia as well as other markets. Users of these devices can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has got the update.
