Google is expected to release Android 12 stable in a couple of months. However, OEMs are yet to deliver Android 11 stable update for their older and budget devices. Even Samsung with its resources is yet to complete last year’s Android rollout for some of its products. The latest handset from the South Korean tech giant to receive the Android 11 update is Galaxy A20s.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A20s in October 2019. The smartphone debuted with One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie. It was updated to Android 10-based One UI 2.x last year.

Now, the phone has started receiving the Android 11 (One UI 3.1) update. According to SamMobile, the update is currently live in Malaysia with build number A207FXXU2CUFA.

The latest system update for the handset brings all the new One UI features that are supported by its hardware. Additionally, it also bumps up the security patch level to June 2021.

The update should be available in all regions in the coming days. Users of the device can navigate to Settings > Software update >  Download and install to check whether their unit has got the One UI 3.1 (Android 11) update.

The Samsung Galaxy A20s is neither eligible for three generations of Android updates nor four years of security updates. Hence, One UI 3.1 is the last major software update for this smartphone. But will likely receive security patches for a while.

Samsung has been rolling out Android 11 (One UI 3.x) stable update for eligible devices since December 2020. The company has updated most of its supported products by now. Only a few of them are left. The latest device to receive the update is Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019).

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) was announced in February 2019 with One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie. The tablet was updated to Android 10-based One UI 2.x last year.

Now, the product has finally started receiving the Android 11 update with One UI 3.x interface on top of it.  According to SamMobile, the latest system update for this tablet is live in multiple regions across Asia, Europe, and South America.

Apart from bringing new features supported by the product’s hardware, the new update also bumps up the security patch level to June 2021. As always, like any other OTA system software update, this one is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may not be available for all users at the moment. But it should reach all the units across the world in the coming days.

Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) is neither eligible for three generations of Android updates nor qualified for four years of security updates. Currently, the device is listed to get biannual security updates.

Samsung launched the Galaxy M11 in the first half of 2020. Since, its debut, the smartphone has received multiple price cuts, at least in India. Almost a year after its announcement, the device has started receiving the Android 11 update.

The Android 11 update for the Samsung Galaxy M11 arrives as One UI Core 3.1. According to a report by SamMobile, this update is currently live in Vietnam.

The latest system update for the South Korean tech giant’s budget smartphone comes with firmware version M115FXXU2BUD8. Apart from bringing Android 11 and the new One UI features, the new update also bumps up the security patch level to April 2021.

Users in Vietnam can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has received the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.1 update. Users in other markets can also try this since they should also get this update in the coming days.

That said, the Samsung Galaxy M11 launched with One UI 2.x based on Android 10. Hence, One UI Core 3.1 (Android 11) is the handset’s first-ever major system update. It is not sure whether this phone will be receiving Android 12 in the future. However, it has been confirmed to get at least four years of security updates.

Last week, Samsung started rolling out the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.1 update for the Galaxy A01. A few days later, the company is now seeding this very same update for the Galaxy M01, which is a rebranded Galaxy A01. Additionally, the Android 11 update is also being rolled out for the Galaxy A41 as One UI 3.1.

The Samsung Galaxy M01 Android 11 (One UI Core 3.1) update arrives with firmware version M015GXXU3BUD9. Apart from bringing new features and UI, the latest system update for this entry-level smartphone also bumps up the security patch level to April 2021.

On the other hand, the Android 11 (One UI 3.1) update for the Samsung Galaxy A41 is currently live in Russia with firmware version A415FXXU1CUD4. It also comes with April 2021 security patches.

Users of these two smartphones can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has received the update. 

Anyway, like any other software update, this OTA update is also being pushed in batches across different regions. Therefore, it may take some time to hit every unit in the market.

Lastly, it is worth noting that Android 11 is the first-ever major software update for these two phones. However, we are not sure if the cheaper Galaxy M01 will receive Android 12 in the future.

The Samsung Galaxy A01 was the cheapest Galaxy A series smartphone when it was released. The handset debuted with One UI Core 2.x. More than a year after its launch, the handset has started receiving its first major update.

According to a report by SamMobile, Galaxy A01, an entry-level Samsung smartphone has begun to receive its firm-ever major system update in the form of One UI Core 3.1 based on Android 11. The device was expected to get the update in May or later, however, the company is rolling it out earlier.

Currently, the South Korean tech giant is seeding this update in Russia with firmware version A015FXXU4BUD8. Apart from bringing the Android 11 features and a select few new One UI features, the new build also features April 2021 security patches.

Users of this phone in Russia can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has got the OTA update. If not, they will have to wait a bit further because it is being rolled out in batches.

We can expect Samsung to seed this update in other regions in the coming days. Since the Galaxy A01 is an entry-level smartphone, it is not sure if it will be receiving the Android 12 update in the future. However, we can expect security patches for a while.

Samsung has been rolling out Android 11 (One UI 3.x) update to eligible smartphones and tablets since December. Within a few months, the company has delivered the Android 11 to most of the devices.

That said, although Android 11 is the last major system update for the Galaxy Tab S5e, it should receive security updates till 2023.

Both the Galaxy A70s and the Galaxy A90 5G launched in 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie (One UI 1.x) out of the box. The smartphones were later updated to One UI 2.5 (Android 10) last year.

The Samsung Galaxy A70 was one of the best-selling smartphones in 2019 just like its smaller sibling Galaxy A50. The latter started receiving the One UI 3.1 (Android 11) update last week. Now, the company has begun to roll out this same software update to the former device as well.

The South Korean tech giant launched the Galaxy A70 with One UI based on Android 9.0 Pie. The handset was later updated to Android 10-based One UI 2.x. Now, Samsung has even started seeding out One UI 3.1 (Android 11) update for this phone.

According to SamMobile, the Android 11 update for the Galaxy A70 is currently live in Ukraine. The update comes with firmware version A705FNXXU5DUC6 and March 2021 security patches in the country. It weighs about 1.9GB in size.

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.

Unlike many Samsung budget smartphones, the Galaxy M51 did not receive the One UI Core 2.5 update. It also did not get the One UI Core 3.0 (Android 11) update. Instead, the South Korean tech giant is updating it directly to One UI Core 3.1.

In other words, the Galaxy M51 is the first Galaxy M series smartphone to get the One UI 3.1 Core update based on Android 11.

According to SamMobile, the update for this device is currently live in Russia with firmware version M515FXXU2CUB7. Apart from bringing Android 11 and new features, the latest system update for the Galaxy M51 also bumps up the security patch level to March 2021.

The Galaxy A71 was one of the best-selling Samsung smartphones in 2021. It debuted with One UI 2.0 based on Android 10. Being a popular device, it got almost all the new features from the company throughout last year with numerous software updates. Now, the handset has even started receiving the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 update.

Samsung has been delivering stable One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update for eligible devices worldwide since December 2020. In fact, the company has been pushing the update well ahead of schedule for multiple devices.

However, the Galaxy A71 did not get this update when its sibling Galaxy A51 began to receive it. Now, as the South Korean tech giant has started seeing One UI 3.1 minor update (debuted on the Galaxy S21 series) to its portfolio, the Galaxy A71 is being updated to this version directly from One UI 2.5, just like the Galaxy Tab S6.

The One UI 3.1 update for the Galaxy A71 is currently live in Poland, as per SamMobile. The software build for this region comes with firmware A715FXXU3BUB5 and February 2021 security patches. The OTA update weighs around 2.7GB.

That said, we expect the firm to extend the availability of this update to more regions in the coming days. If you own this device, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether your device has received the update.

Samsung started rolling out the One UI 3.0 (Android 11) stable update for the eligible devices from December 2020. A little over a month later, the company began to seed the One UI 3.1 update to the devices that had received the previous update.

For those unaware, One UI 3.1 is an incremental update to One UI 3.0 with some additional features that debuted on the Galaxy S21 series.

As for the Galaxy Tab S6, it has started getting a direct update to the latest One UI 3.1 from One UI 2.5, as per AllAboutSamsung. In fact, this tablet was supposed to receive the vanilla One UI 3.0 two months later. Anyway, we aren’t surprised since Samsung has been delivering Android 11 update to eligible smartphones and tablets ahead of schedule since the rollout began.

That said, the Galaxy Tab S6 One UI 3.1 update is currently only available for the LTE variant. The OTA update is being pushed for users in Germany with firmware version T865XXU4CUB7. 

Apart from bringing Android 11 and new features, the latest system update for this 2019 Samsung flagship tablet bumps up the security patch level to March 2021. Last but not least, the update weighs 2267.69MB in size.

We expect the South Korean tech giant to soon extend the availability of this update to more regions as well as the WiFi-only variant of this tablet in the coming days.

so far has updated models like the Galaxy S20, Note 20, Note 10, S10 series, and budget devices like the Galaxy M31, M21, F41, and more. The Galaxy A51 was the first A-series to get it and now the list is expanding with A51 and A71 5G devices.

Regarding the wider rollout, users in other regions can expect the update to drop in a few days. Meanwhile, reports say that the next One UI 3.1 will officially make it to the yesteryear A-series devices and newcomers like Galaxy A52, A72 might debut with it.

Samsung is continuing its streak of updating its devices to Android 11 faster than most manufacturers. The latest device to get the update is the 2020 Galaxy Note 10 Lite.

The update is rolling out to users in France already as software version N770FXXU7DUA8. It has been reported by SamMobile that the update also comes with January 2021’s security patch. It is expected to arrive in the coming weeks in more regions.

Android 11 is the first major OS upgrade for the phone which launched in January 2020 with Android 10 pre-installed. The update includes the new One UI 3.0 which brings a new user interface, new camera features, and a redesigned Quick Settings among others.

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite is one of the devices that Samsung said will get three Android OS upgrades, so owners of this phone should expect it to get updated to Android 12 and Android 13 in the future.

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite has a 6.7-inch 2400 x 1080 display with a centered punch hole for a 32MP camera. Inside the phone is the 10nm Exynos 9810 processor and it is paired with 6GB of 8GB of RAM. The storage capacity for both variants is 128GB but a MicroSDXC card slot allows for storage expansion.

Samsung has put three 12MP cameras on the back of the phone. One is the main sensor, another is a telephoto camera that has OIS and 2x optical zoom, and the third is the ultrawide camera.

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite packs a 4500mAh battery with support for 25W fast wired charging. Samsung has skipped wireless charging and reverse wireless charging support which is available on its siblings, the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus. You do get an audio jack, NFC, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Unfortunately, those looking forward to a successor will most likely not get one as there are multiple reports that Samsung has terminated the Galaxy Note series.

The post One UI 3.0 with Android 11 arrives for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days back, the Galaxy M31 became the first Samsung budget smartphone to receive the One UI Core 3.0 update based on Android 11. Now, the same update has started rolling out to an even cheaper Galaxy M21 and Galaxy F41 handsets.

Samsung has been seeding the One UI 3.0 stable update to the eligible devices since December. Up until the last few days, the update was only available for the flagship smartphones and tablets. But now, the South Korean tech giant has begun to release the update for budget phones as well.

The first affordable Samsung handset to get the stripped-down One UI Core 3.0 update was Galaxy M31. Now, this update is also live for Galaxy M21 and Galaxy F41 in India. 

The Android 11 update for these devices comes with firmware version M215FXXU2BUAC and F415FXXU1BUAC respectively. Apart from bringing new features, the latest update also bumps up the security patch level to January 2021

The Galaxy M21 and the Galaxy F41 are receiving the One UI Core 3.0 update at the same time as they are basically the same phone with a different primary sensor. Also, the Galaxy F41 is known as Galaxy M21s in Brazil, and therefore, it should also get the update soon along with other regional variants of Galaxy M21.

Anyway, if you own any of these smartphones, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether your unit has got the update yet.

Samsung started the rollout of One UI 3.0 based on the Android 11 update for the Galaxy S10 series earlier this month. Amidst reports of heating and camera issues, the company abruptly stopped it last week. Today, it has resumed the update again according to a Sammobile report.

Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+ users in Switzerland are getting the update with firmware version G975FXXU9EUA4 via OTA(Over-The-Air). This latest firmware comes a few days after the company pulled the plug on a buggy firmware rollout. Apparently, users who tried the initial Android 11 rollout, were facing issues like Overheating and Camera Blur.

That said, Samsung seems to have solved all the shortcomings as it has restarted the update in Europe. If you are someone who is living in Switzerland, try out the new firmware by navigating to Settings-> Software Update->Download and install. For those new, the update will upgrade your device to the latest Android 11.

Additionally, it increments the One UI to 3.0. Meanwhile, Samsung has already moved on to One UI 3.1 with Galaxy S21 launch. There are rumors that the Galaxy S10 series, along with other older flagships(up to 2019) will get the new UI for sure.

Anyway, with this update, you can expect features of Android 11 like chat bubbles(conversations), media controls, improved permission management, and organized notifications. Plus, you can get the taste of One UI 3.0 features as well.

The update is sure to expand to other regions in the coming days. If you find any issue with the new update, you can always report on Samsung community forums or down in the comments below.

The post Samsung restarts Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update for Galaxy S10 devices appeared first on Gizmochina.

We have to appreciate Samsung for shooting the gun on One UI 3.0 updates well despite facing recoils in the form of Beta bugs. The company has already started moving to the budget devices like the Galaxy M31. Out of nowhere, it has advanced into the next version i.e, the One UI 3.1 update. The first ones to receive it via OTA update are the Galaxy Tab S7, S7+ devices.

If you recall, Samsung launched the One UI 3.1 with the Galaxy S21 flagship devices. The new UI has features like Private Share, improvements to performance and memory allocation, and more. Samsung is now rolling out this version along with the Android 11 update for Samsung Galaxy Tab S7(SM-T875), Galaxy Tab S7+ LTE (SM-T975N), and the Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G(SM-T976N).

The respective firmware versions are T875NKOU1BUA8, T975NKOU1BUA8, and T976NKOU1BUA8. Weighing over 2.4GB, it is currently rolling out in South Korea but the OTA(Over The Air) update should expand to other regions soon. Talking about the important features, let’s quickly see what One UI 3.1 brings to the table:

• Private Share
• Feature to remove GPS location data from Images(When Sharing)
• Improved performance and memory allocation
• Lock Screen Widgets(More new Functionality added)
• Background Video Calling

In addition to these, we can also expect the usual Android 11 perks like chat bubbles(conversations), media controls, improved permission management, improved Digital Wellbeing, and organized notifications. Besides, the Galaxy Tab S7, S7+ have also received an important feature called Second Screen support.

Typically, this allows the Tablets to operate as a second screen(like Apple Sidecar) with Select Samsung Windows PCs. They are Galaxy Book Flex, Galaxy Book Flex Alpha, Galaxy Book Ion, Galaxy Book S, and Notebook Plus.

Nonetheless, expect the One UI 3.1 to start tricking to other devices in the future. Speaking of which, a report says devices like Galaxy S20, Note 20, Z Flip 4G and 5G, S10 Series, and Note 10 devices are sure to get it.

The post Galaxy Tab S7, S7+ become first Samsung devices to get One UI 3.1 via OTA update appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

It will be dishonest to say that Samsung has not stepped up its software support in the past year or more. Following the launch of Android 11, the Korean giant has updated practically all its flagship phones released in 2020 and has even begun to update those released in 2019. The latest devices to get the update now are the Galaxy S10 models.

The Galaxy S10 series include the Galaxy S10 itself, the Galaxy S10 Plus, and the Galaxy S10e, and if you own any of these devices, you should check for the update now and over the next few days. The Galaxy S10 Lite already received the update a few weeks ago.

According to XDA Developers, the update is already rolling out to users in Switzerland and the update brings with it not only a new Android version but a new user experience with One UI 3 and also January 2021’s security patch.

Android 11 brings new features such as conversation bubbles, new permission management features, built-in screen recording, and new media controls.

With One UI 3.0, you get a visually enhanced lock screen, home screen, notifications, and Quick Panel. Samsung says the motion effects and animation are smoother, button presses are more realistic, and toggles slide more smoothly.

Other customization features that the update brings include support for adjustable widget transparency, the ability to customize the clock on the lock screen or Always On Display, and the ability to add a video to the incoming and outgoing call screen.

One UI also brings upgrades to the camera such as improved autofocus and auto-exposure and better AI-based zoom to allow you to capture better photos. The gallery has also been re-organized to make it easy to easily find photos, Samsung says edited photos can even be reverted back to the original at any time even after saving.

Android 11 is the second major OS update for the Galaxy S10 series and going by Samsung’s promise to provide three years of updates for the phone, it is expected to get Android 12 too when it is released.

Samsung started rolling out the One UI 3.0 stable update to its devices earlier this month starting with the Galaxy S20 series. Now, within a few weeks, the company has extended the availability of this update to more devices than the timeline shared by the firm for different markets. That said, the original Galaxy Z Flip from early 2020 is the latest handset to get it.

The South Korean tech giant began to seed One UI 3.0 (Android 11) stable update to the Galaxy Z Flip 5G units before Christmas last week. The original 4G variant is now being treated with this update ahead of New Year.

According to GSMArena, the update is currently live in Europe and Nigeria. But it could be available in other regions as well. It is worth noting that this smartphone is supposed to get the update only in January 2021. But the company has started delivering it a month earlier.

Anyway, it is the same case for all the devices that were originally scheduled to receive the update in January. We think Samsung has started the rollout earlier in order to finish seeding the update as per the original schedule.

Whatever, if you own the Galaxy Z Flip 4G/5G, Galaxy Note20 series, Galaxy S20 series (including Galaxy S20 FE), Galaxy Note10 series, or Galaxy S10 Lite, then head over to Settings > Software update to check whether your device has received the One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update.

After the current flagships, Samsung has started seeding the Android 11 update for its yesteryear smartphones. First of a probable bunch is the Galaxy Note 10 series of Smartphones.

As Sammobile reports, Samsung is rolling out the One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 update to Galaxy Note 10(SM-970F), and Note 10+(SM-975F), Note 10+ 5G(SM-976B) users. A firmware version N97xFXXU6ETLL is reaching countries like Germany for 4G variants while Spain and Switzerland are getting the N976BXXU6ETLL version for the 5G model.

Along with the major Android upgrade, the update also brings the latest December 2020 security patch. Samsung has been updating its flagship smartphones with One UI 3.0 stable update from Early December. It began with the Galaxy S20 series and moved over to other devices of 2020.

Anyway, the Galaxy Note 10 which launched back in 2019, gets the latest Android features like bubbles(conversations), media controls, improved permission management, and organized notifications. Additionally, you can also expect the One UI 3.0 features to land with this update.

Plus, Samsung hasn’t incremented the bootloader version which means downgrading is possible theoretically(but we won’t recommend doing it if you are new). It is also worth noting that this is for the Exynos variant and hence, Snapdragon users(US, Canada, China) should stay away from manually flashing it.

Samsung announced its One UI 3.0 beta(Android 11) back in August at the Galaxy Note 20 series launch. After the initial developer build, it expanded the beta to a lot of devices including the Galaxy Note 10 series but had to temporarily halt it due to a major bug.

Nevertheless, the stable update is finally here and it is sure to expand to other countries soon. So far, Samsung has updated devices like Galaxy Z Flip 5G, S20 FE, S10 Lite.

Yesterday, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G became the first foldable to get a stable One UI 3.0 update. Today, Samsung has gone a step further to bring the update for the Galaxy S10 Lite variant when the rest of the S10 family is yet to get it.

According to the reports(via 1,2), Galaxy S10 Lite is getting the latest One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 update via OTA. The update with firmware G770FXXU3DTL1(Global), and G770U1UEU2CTL3 (US) is rolling out to the users. Precisely, the USA, Russia, Spain, UAE, Panama, and India are the countries to get it (as of writing this).

Although it doesn’t mean a worldwide rollout(all countries), we can say that it isn’t that far away now. Anyway, the update weighs about 2.4GB in size and brings the latest features of the new UI. Additionally, you can also expect Google’s Android 11 features like chat bubbles(conversations), media controls, improved permission management, and organized notifications.

UP NEXT: One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update is live for Galaxy S20 FE

Additionally, the XDA report says that Samsung hasn’t incremented the Bootloader version which means you can manually revert back to Android 10. However, we wouldn’t recommend you do that unless you know the exact procedure for it. Some of the other improvements include:

• Digital Wellbeing
• Parental controls
• Improvements to Samsung Internet, Samsung Keyboard
• Bixby Routines
• Revamped Settings, Quick Settings.

Having said that, the device reportedly lacks Samsung DeX even after the update. In any case, the Galaxy S10 Lite users must feel lucky as it’s official timeline for Europe and India indicated a January rollout.

And if you are someone who is living in either of the regions mentioned above, you can check the OTA update by navigating to Settings->Software Updates-> Download and Install. That said, Apart from refreshing the UI and Android, the update also brings December 2020 security patch.

Nevertheless, this could be a signal for an imminent rollout to the rest of the Galaxy S10 series(S10, S10+, S10e) going forward.

Samsung has started rolling out One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 to its devices earlier this month. As of now, the update is live for Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note20, and Galaxy Note20 Ultra. The latest smartphone to join this list is the Galaxy S20 FE.

According to SamMobile, the South Korean tech giant has begun to seed One UI 3.0 (Android 11) build for Galaxy S20 FE in Russia. The new update comes with firmware version G780FXXU1BTL1 and December 2020 security patch.

Currently, this build is only available for select users in the country. In order to check whether if you have received it, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Anyway, if you haven’t got it yet, then do not worry as the update will be hitting your unit once the company extends the availability of the build in the coming days.

Similarly, users in other regions should also start receiving the update very soon. Also, it is worth noting that the world’s largest smartphone maker has released the update for this device before the tipped date.

The Galaxy S20 FE is eligible for three generations of Android updates. Therefore, it will be getting Android 12 and Android 13 in the future.

Samsung began rolling out the One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 update for the Galaxy S20 series a couple of weeks back. Today, as per a report, the company has jumped the gun for the Galaxy Note 20 series of devices.

As Sammobile reports, Samsung began rolling out the stable update for locked and unlocked variants of the AT&T network in the US over the weekend. Accordingly, an update with build number N98xUSQU1CTL2 is rolling out to Galaxy Note 20, Note 20 Ultra devices. Plus, the update with a 2.5GB size also jumps the security patch to December 1, 2020.

That said, the update seems to be limited to the United States as of now. Considering the official schedule across Europe and other Asian countries like India indicates a January rollout, users might have to wait for a bit. In any case, the update corroborates with the early leak which said December 14 as the rollout date.

Anyway, the update for Galaxy Note 20 brings the latest Android 11 along with UI revamp and other features on One UI. Precisely, you are sure to get the latest Android features like Conversations, Bubbles, Categorized notifications. And One UI‘s perks like improvements to Quick Panel, Toolbars, Notifications, settings, and more. Besides, you can refer to our coverage to know about the features of the One UI 3.0.

While the update for Galaxy S20 FE could be a few months away, the next-in-line as per the rollout schedule are the Galaxy Fold devices, Galaxy Note 10, and S10 series.

Samsung announced the OneUI 3.0 Beta based on Android 11 back on August 5. The Public beta program began after the initial developer build and has extended to a lot of flagships including the Galaxy S10 series from 2019. Nevertheless, the stable update is here and it will expand to other regions in the coming months.

Samsung Galaxy A52 is one of the company’s expected A-series of devices this year. A couple of days back a massive leak revealed the renders and specs of the device. Now, it appears on the HTML5 test page courtesy of the Sammobile report.

Accordingly, a Samsung device with model SM-A526B appears on the HTML5 test page. Now, if we recall, a device with a similar model number appeared on Geekbench. The device is likely to be a variant of Galaxy A52 considering Samsung’s pattern of model numbers in the past. That said, the test page shows that the device is tested on Android 11 suggesting that it will debut with the latest OS.

However, if you ask me if it would carry Samsung’s One UI 3.0, or the already in-works One UI 3.1, I will vote for the former. The reason being, Samsung has so far kept new iterations of it’s UI with the flagship launches. And considering the A52 5G is rumored to debut before the Galaxy S21 series, it is unlikely for it to have the One UI 3.1.

UP NEXT: Samsung’s One UI 3.0(Android 11) update timeline for Europe revealed

That said, these are our speculations, and hence, let’s wait for the official launch. Moving on, the report says that the device will also have an FHD+ display with a resolution of 2,400×1,080 pixels. If you recall, an earlier leak by @Onleaks revealed that Galaxy A52 5G will have a 6.5-inch display with an Infinity-O punch-hole at the center.

As mentioned above, the earlier benchmark indicates that it will feature a Snapdragon 750G SoC. If leaks are true, the device won’t differ much from the predecessor, Galaxy A51. And have a similar GLasstic back(with metallic frame), rectangular layout with quad-cameras, AMOLED display with in-display fingerprint sensor, and 3.5mm audio jack.

Other probable specs are a 64MP camera supplied by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and a similar $499 price tag as the predecessor.

Based on the roadmap shared by the South Korean giant, the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update for the Galaxy S20 FE is a few months away, at least in the European market. However, the company has started the rollout for other devices.

Samsung has started seeding the new update to its Galaxy S20 flagship smartphones — Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra. The devices next in line to get the update includes Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 10, and the Galaxy S10 lineup.

The roadmap also hints that the update for the company’s foldable smartphones should be rolled out next month. But, the original Galaxy Fold is set to receive the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update in February and select Galaxy S20 FE models are also set to get the update around the same time.

Although Samsung is trying to improve its update rollout timing, the company definitely needs to work more on this as it’s a bit disappointing to see that a smartphone under the flagship lineup isn’t among the firsts to get the latest update.

Samsung began rolling out the One UI 3.0 stable update in Europe, USA a few days back. Later, it revealed the schedule for India yesterday. Now, Samsung Germany has published a schedule for the update rollout suggesting the same timeline for the entire Europe.

As reported by GalaxyClub.nl(via GSMArena) Samsung has posted the details on the Samsung Members App. The list includes a similar pattern where the company details a list of devices and their corresponding One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 rollout times. If we recall, a schedule for Egypt was the first to appear online before the rollout started for Galaxy S20 in Europe and the USA.

However, the list misses out on devices like Galaxy A40, A41, A42, and even the recently launched Galaxy S20 FE. Anyway, you can take a look at the entire schedule for Europe below. Considering the Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra have already started receiving it in Europe, let’s just skip through to January 2021:

The post Samsung reveals One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update timeline for India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 3.0 stable update for Galaxy S20 series recently. The update is currently reaching users in the USA, Europe with other regions to follow suit. While the other devices were expected to get it in the coming months, a tipster now says that the Galaxy Note 20, and S20 FE could get it before the year ends.

Max Weinbach, a well-known Samsung tipster says that One UI 3.0 stable update will probably arrive for the devices on the following dates:

• Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G– December 14
• Samsung Galaxy S20 FE– December 27

If we recall, the Note 20 and Galaxy S20 FE launched with One UI 2.5. Although he has used the word ‘possible’ suggesting us to take the info with a heap of salt, we have two reasons to believe this might be true. First, the company is already working on the next One UI 3.1 and will likely debut it with the S21 series. Hence, it might look to roll out the 3.0 version to its 2020 flagships as soon as possible before the event to gain the goodwill.

Additionally, a report on the alleged One UI 3.0 schedule for Egypt reveals that Note 20 update timeline is around January 2021. But, we feel Samsung might pull the trigger for all regions earlier. That is, considering the speed at which it is addressing the Beta updates, and has got to a point of releasing the stable version even sooner.

For instance, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Tab S7 series with One UI 2.5 out of the box. However, the company pushed the update for the older Galaxy S20 series on the first-day sale of Note 20. Anyway, these are our early speculations, and hence, let’s wait for a bit to see what Samsung does.

Samsung confirmed the OneUI 3.0 Beta based on Android 11 back at the event on August 5. The Public beta program began after the initial developer build and has extended to a lot of flagships including the Galaxy S10 series from 2019. You can check out our coverage to know about the features of the UI.

The post Samsung might release the One UI 3.0 stable update for Galaxy Note 20, S20 FE early appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has just begun the stable rollout of its latest One UI 3.0. However, it’s already working on the next version, dubbed the One UI 3.1. As per a report by Tizenhelp, the company will soon launch the next UI and it could happen at the Galaxy S21 series event.

According to the report, a Samsung representative in South Korea has revealed the development while answering to a user. To corroborate this, the report shares a screenshot that shows a user reporting his concern for errors in Night mode. To this, the Samsung support team replies(Google Translated) that the update will be correct by Google at its end by December. Later, Samsung will proceed with tweaks and deliver it in the One UI 3.1 update.

With this, the company indirectly confirms that it’s working on the next version of the UI. Also, as the report says, the One UI 3.1 will likely debut at the Galaxy S21 launch that is likely on January 14, 2021. This is because Samsung has introduced newer versions of the UI with the Major flagship launches in the past. For instance, the company launched the One UI 2.1 based on Android 10 with the Galaxy S20 series and Z Flip out of the box.

Similarly, the company brought the One UI 2.5 with the Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Tab S7 back in August. For One UI 3.0, it started a Beta program in August for its flagships to test out the features before a stable rollout. Anyway, we will have to play the waiting game to know what improvements the new 3.1 UI will bring to the table over the One UI 3.0.

In case you don’t know Samsung is working on the next S series of flagships dubbed the Galaxy S21. The three devices will probably be called Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Samsung is likely to bring features like 120Hz AMOLED display, a 64MP Telephoto camera,  Qualcomm Snapdragon 888/Exynos2 100 SoC, 108MP main camera, and 65W charging.

Samsung has finally began the One UI 3.0 stable rollout. Reports say that the company, which has been running a Beta program so far, is rolling the stable update in Europe, and the USA.

As reported by Sammobile, Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 3.0 stable update for the Galaxy S20 series in Europe, and the USA(Verizon Carrier version). Further, a screenshot shared by the report shows a firmware version G98xxXXU5CTKG for Europe and weighs 179.82MB. Accordingly, the update brings One UI 3.0 based on Android 11, along with December 1, 2020 security patch.

Although Samsung is yet to acknowledge this, it is reportedly rolling out in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Nordic countries. For the unware, five Nordic countries include Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. Anyway, as reported earlier, the company is certainly living up to the promise of sticking to the schedule of One UI 3.0.

Besides, the changelog of the European firmware says the device gets improved performance to Camera, stability improvements, and fixes. That said, the USA update for Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra as per the Verizon website mentions the following changelog:

• Software Version: RP1A.200720.012.G981VSQU1ZTHK(Galaxy S20 5G)
• What’s New: Android 11- Conversations, Bubbles, Categorized notifications, One UI 3.0
• One UI 3.0- improvements to Quick Panel, Toolbars, Notifications, settings, and more.

Additionally, the changelog on the Verizon website says that the security patch is November 2020, unlike Europe. Nevertheless, the stable update is here and we can expect it to expand to other regions very soon. You can also go through our report on the entire features of One UI 3.0 to know what changes it brings to the devices.

Also, if Samsung were to stick to the schedule as mentioned above, the next lineup for One UI 3.0 stable rollout in January are Galaxy Note 20 series, Z Flip, Fold2, Galaxy S10 series, and Note 10 Series. Let’s wait and see if Samsung is able to carry the moment going forward.

Samsung has been beta testing One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 for a while now. However, the company is yet to release an official list of eligible devices as well as update schedule. But now, we finally have an alleged update timeline, courtesy of Samsung’s community app.

Recently, Samsung had posted the One UI 3.0 update roadmap for users of the Samsung Members app in Egypt. This list was first shared by TizenHelp (via XDA Developers). 

This timeline should be mostly limited to Egypt but still, it gives us a rough idea about the Android 11 update rollout for Samsung devices worldwide. Anyway, let us take a look at this list but make sure to consider this piece of information with a pinch of salt.

Samsung is busy perfecting it’s latest One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 with the beta program. The company, despite encountering several bugs, is on course to launch the stable build as soon as possible. And it might start tomorrow as a report says a stable version for Galaxy S20 is coming on December 3.

As reported by Tizenhelp, the Samsung support team has reportedly said that Samsung Galaxy S20 will get the stable version of One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 tomorrow i.e December 3. Accordingly, a screenshot shared by the report shows an alleged reply of a Samsung representative to a Korean user.

It says(Google Translated) that the schedule is on December 3 but information regarding this will appear on Samsung Members App. For the unware, Samsung is currently running a Beta program for the One UI 3.0. To try out the features, users will have to signup for it on the above-mentioned app under ‘One UI‘ banner. Coming back, the reply also includes a disclaimer that the update schedule may change even after the rollout. That is, it might get suspended if a bug is encountered.

This is understandable considering its Beta program hasn’t been that smooth, to say the least. After testing the One UI 3.0 Beta with developers, Samsung kicked off the program for users of Galaxy S20 and followed it up with various flagships including the yesteryear Galaxy S10. Although the company was right on track, it encountered issues like battery drain, lock-screen bug.

However, after overcoming the issues, it has reportedly stopped Beta updates for S20, and Note 20 series already in South Korea. This further strengthens that stable update isn’t that far away. That said, as the report states, the reply is for a community member in South Korea.

This suggests that just like every OTA update, Samsung could initially release it in South Korea before expanding to other regions. Let’s wait and see if this turns out true tomorrow.

It’s that time of the year when Samsung starts launching its A series of devices. Last week, it launched the budget Galaxy A12 and A02s. Now, the “wannabe cheapest 5G smartphone” of Samsung, the upcoming Galaxy A32, has been spotted running Android 11.

As reported by GalaxyClub.nl, a Samsung device with model number SM-A326B has been tested with Android 11. Now, this looks like it’s just a variant of the upcoming Galaxy A32 5G. This is because early reports stated that the device will have a similar model number SM-A326. Anyway, the Galaxy A32 with Android 11 indicates that Samsung is a step closer to the stable rollout of its One UI 3.0 based on Android 11.

After announcing the One UI 3.0 Beta for developers early, Samsung has been subsequently running a beta program for various flagships to test out the One UI 3.0 features. That said, we aren’t sure if the Galaxy A32 5G will be the first device to debut with One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 out of the box. Considering the company is also expected to launch the Galaxy A52, Galaxy A72 smartphones round about Dec-Jan, they might take over the crown.

That is, if they pass the Galaxy A32 5G to launch first in the market. Either way, the report also mentions the possibility of the device running One UI 3.0 while it’s upcoming flagship Galaxy S21 will likely debut with an upgraded One UI 3.1. This is definitely a speculation but it’s possible in a sense where Samsung has maintained the exclusivity of its UI with every flagship at launch.

Further, as per the test, the report mentions that the Galaxy A32 5G’s display will have an aspect ratio of 20:9. The Galaxy A32 5G is under the limelight right from the first leak in July. As per the recent reports, it will sport a polycarbonate body, a camera layout like the OPPO Reno4 Pro, infinity V-notch display.

And if leaks are true, it will have a 9.1mm thickness(a bit thicker than A31’s 8.6mm), 3.5mm audio jack, USB-C port, 48MP main camera, and more. Let’s wait for more leaks as we get closer to launch.

A couple of days back, it was reported that Samsung had suspended the One UI 3.0 Beta update for the Galaxy Z Fold2 due to a serious bug. Today, the company is rolling out a hotfix version and has resumed the Beta program for the device.

As reported by Tizenhelp(via Sammobile), the update is rolling to users of South Korea currently. The firmware version of the latest One UI 3.0 Beta update is F916NKSU1ZTKD and weighs 189MB. Samsung has reportedly mentioned on Community forums that it has released the 1st hotfix version for the affected users. Accordingly, reports say that the update has fixed the earlier bug.

Previously, Samsung had rolled out the One UI 3.0 Beta update for Galaxy Z Fold2 with firmware version F916NKSU1ZTKB. It came with a bug that didn’t allow users to unlock the device irrespective of using any biometric methods. Similarly, Samsung had to postpone the Beta update for other devices like Galaxy S10, Z Flip following issues with battery and performance on the Galaxy Note 10.

Although it has fixed the issues and resumed the program for the above devices, reports say that it has ended the Beta program for the Galaxy Note 20 series. This suggests an imminent stable rollout of One UI 3.0. If we recall, Samsung confirmed the OneUI 3.0 Beta based on Android 11 back at the event on August 5. The Public beta program began after the initial developer build and has extended to a lot of flagships including the Galaxy S10 series from 2019.

Coming back, Galaxy Z Fold2 becomes the second foldable to get the One UI 3.0 based on Android 11. This is because, the Galaxy Z Flip, which received the update a few days ago, becomes the first foldable device to get it. As usual, if you are in South Korea, you can apply for the Beta via Samsung Members App. However, users in other countries have to wait till Samsung expands it to other regions.

Anyway, the rollout of One UI 3.0’s stable version will likely start in December and extend to as many as 90 devices.
