Samsung steered the OTA update builds from One UI 3.0 to 3.1 for its older devices post the Galaxy S21 series launch. Initially, after rolling out its flagship tablets and smartphones, it has been updating the affordable devices(One Core UI 3.1). The latest in line to get is the Galaxy M31s in India a week after Russia and Ukraine.

The Samsung Galaxy M31s recently received a price cut of ₹1,000 in India. Hence, if you are looking to buy a Samsung smartphone with the latest software, the Galaxy M31s could be your best bet. Anyway, the Galaxy M31s is getting an OTA update with firmware version M317FXXU2CUB1.

Weighing about 1.93GB, the update brings the latest One UI Core 3.1 version and not the 3.0 like Russia and Ukraine. Anyway, this update also bumps up the security patch of the Galaxy M31s to February 2021.

This new UI not just brings the latest Android 11 features but has UI improvements like revamped UI, Digital Wellbeing & parental controls, dedicated media player widget(in Quick Settings), improved stock apps and features to Samsung Keyboard, Samsung Internet, and more.

Do note that this is Samsung’s Core version of the One UI so don’t expect every feature that is on its flagship devices. Besides, the report also says that Samsung has removed the microSD card access to its cloning feature ‘Dual Messenger’. It seems users will have to go to Gallery/My Files->Select file->Share via sharesheet->copy App.

That said, Indian users can update their device to the latest One UI 3.1 by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install. As usual, the rollout should be staggered and hence, take a few days to reach everyone.

The Galaxy M31s is a slightly improved version of Galaxy M31. Samsung announced this smartphone in the second half of 2020. It debuted with One UI Core 2.1 based on Android 10 and was later updated to One UI Core 2.5. Now, this handset has started receiving Android 11-based One UI Core 3.0 update.

According to SamMobile, the One UI Core 3.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy M31s is currently live in Russia and Ukraine. The update comes with firmware version M317FXXU2CUB1 and February 2021 security patch for these regions.

As expected, the latest system update for this phone not only brings Android 11 and its features but also new One UI features and improvements. However, being a budget smartphone, it does not get all the features just like all other Galaxy M series devices that have received One UI Core 3.0 update so far.

Anyway, if you happen to own the Galaxy M31s, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether your unit has received the update yet. If yes, then make sure to download to as soon as possible to experience the fresh software from the house of Samsung.

That said, it is worth noting that the update is being rolled out in batches and therefore, it may time to reach every unit out there around the world.
