Apart from these two models, the brand has also released the One UI 5 update for the Galaxy A51 5G model as well, with the A516BXXU5EVL2 firmware version. The company has even upgraded the Android security patch level on this smartphone model to the December 2022 patch.

On the other hand, the Galaxy A51 5G is being rolled out in certain European countries like Switzerland, France, and other Nordic regions.

Samsung, which launched the 2021 editions of the Galaxy A5x and A7x smartphones yesterday, has started rolling out a new update for its predecessors. The Galaxy A51 5G and A71 5G are now getting the One UI 3.1(Android 11) update.

Do note that the Verizon version of these devices has already received the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 updates last month. However, it hadn’t launched in other regions. Today, the company is rolling out firmware updates with version A516NKSU3CUC4 for Galaxy A51 5G and A716SKSU3CUC4 for Galaxy A71 5G in Korea.

This end of Beta and rollout of stable has been confirmed on the Samsung community forums of Korea and is followed by screenshots of users confirming the arrival of One UI 3.1.

One UI 3.1 was introduced along with the Galaxy S21 and it brings a host of features like revamped UI, Private Share, GPS location data removal on Images, more Lock screen widgets, Background Video Calling, improved stock apps, and more.

That said, the Galaxy A51 5G and Galaxy A71 5G, unlike the US, have received the One UI 3.1 directly in Korea. Hence, you can expect the same for other regions as well. Speaking of which, the update, which includes the March 2021 security patch, could take a few days before reflecting for everyone so keep that in mind.

However, if you are someone living in Korea, you can check for the update by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install. As for the US, expect the devices to get the incremental One UI 3.1 anytime soon.
