After the Galaxy M21, Samsung is now rolling out the One UI Core 2.5 update to the next M series device. The new update for the Galaxy M31 brings the new UI version and Security patch along with few other improvements.

Our device got the update that has a firmware version M315FXXU2ATJ9 and weighs  ~984MB. However, unlike Sammobile says, our unit got the October 1, 2020 Security Patch, and not November. Besides, as the report says, the update is currently rolling out in India but we don’t know the ETA for other regions yet.

That said, just like the M21, the update for Galaxy M31 also brings a few improvements to Messages, Keyboard, and Camera. First off is the Samsung Keyboard. The new update brings several features like input-language Search Function, split keyboard on Landscape Mode. You can check the changelog of the update here or in the images below.

Further, the Messages section now gets an SOS message feature. It allows users to share SOS-location every 30 minutes for a day. Additionally, the update also has Camera improvements and stability. Previously, the Galaxy M31 also got One UI Core 2.1 update last month which brought features like Single Take, Night Hyperlapse, My Filters, and more.

Samsung unveiled the One UI 2.5 based on Android 10 with Galaxy Note 20 series. Initially, we thought the update will roll out only to its Galaxy Note, S, and Z series of devices. However, the company surprised us by rolling it out to mid-range smartphones like Galaxy A51, and A71.

That said this is an OTA update and hence, it should reach you within a few days. You can check for it in the System Update section inside Settings.
