Samsung has been rolling out the One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update to its devices worldwide since December. So far, only premium devices have been receiving the update. But now, this chain has been broken as Galaxy M31 becomes the first budget smartphone to get the One UI 3.0 update.

Ahead of Christmas, Samsung started recruiting beta testers for Galaxy M31 One UI 3.0 update. Now, within a month, the South Korean tech giant has already begun to seed stable build for all the users.

For those unaware, the Galaxy M31 is supposed to get the update only in March 2020. But it has started receiving the update two months ahead of the schedule. Anyway, we aren’t surprised as all the devices that received the Android 11 update so far have got them earlier than the timeline shared by the company.

That said, the One UI 3.0 update for Galaxy M31 is currently live in India with firmware version M315FXXU2BUAC. Apart from bringing new features, the build also bumps up the security patch level to January 2021. The update weighs 1882.13MB in size and we have successfully installed it without any issue.

It is worth noting that like any other OTA update, it is being rollout out in batches. Hence, it may take time to reach your unit. But you can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check if your device has received the update. Lastly, we expect Samsung to extend the availability of this update to other regions in the coming days.
