Samsung recently updated the Galaxy A40 to Android 11 OS. Now is the turn for the Galaxy M40 in India. The Galaxy A21s is also getting the One UI 3.1 update in the country.

An OTA update is rolling out to the users of Galaxy M40(SM-M405F) in India. The update with firmware version M405FDDU2CUC6 brings the One UI (Core) 3.1 based on Android 11 to the device.

If you recall, the Galaxy M40 launched in India with Android 9 Pie out of the box. It later got the Android 10 update last year. The Android 11 marks the second major Android upgrade for the device.

Similar to the Galaxy M40, the Galaxy A21s (SM-A217F) also seems to be getting the One UI 3.1 update in India with the CUD4 firmware version. The update seems to pack in March 2021 security patch. This device launched in India last year with Android 10 OS out of the box.

The One UI 3.1 has revamped UI, Private Share, GPS location data removal on Images, more Lock screen widgets, Background Video Calling, improved stock apps, and more, over the One UI 3.0. It’s worth noting that the Galaxy A21s has already received the Android 11 update in South Korea.

Anyway, we can expect Android 11 features like one-time permissions, app permissions auto reset, chat bubbles, conversations section in the notification area on both devices. You can read over extensive coverage to know more about the same.

Additionally, the Galaxy M40 and Galaxy A21s are currently in Samsung’s list of devices that will get security updates every Quarter. We can expect this to continue at least for another year.

If you are someone living in India and own either of these devices, you can try out the update by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

Samsung has been rolling out the Android 11-based One UI 3.x stable update for the eligible devices since December. Some of the devices have received the update ahead of schedule. Now, the Galaxy A21s is the latest Samsung smartphone to join this list.

According to a report by SamMobile, Samsung has started seeding One UI 3.0 update for the Galaxy A21s in South Korea. The latest system update for this handset comes with firmware version A217NKSU5CUC7.

For those, the Galaxy A21s is supposed to receive the Android 11 update in May. However, the South Korean tech giant has begun the rollout almost two months earlier.

Anyway, like any other software update, the new update for the Galaxy A21s is currently being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may take time to reach every device. Eventually, the update should be available for other regional variants in the coming days.

Users can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has got the One UI 3.0 update based on Android 11.

That said, it is worth noting that though the Galaxy A21s could probably receive only one more Android update, the phone is eligible for four years of security patches, as per Samsung’s revised update policy.
