Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A10e in June 2019. This US-exclusive budget smartphone launched with Android 9.0 Pie (One UI). It was later updated to One UI Core 2.x based on Android 10. Now, it has finally started receiving the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.1 update.

The Galaxy A10e is a lite variant of Galaxy A10. Unlike the latter, the former was only released in the United States. Two years after its announcement, Samsung is seeding the last major system update for this handset.

According to SamMobile, the Android 11 (One UI Core 3.1) update for the Galaxy A10e arrives with firmware version A102USQUBCUFC. Apart from bringing new features and UI changes, the new software update for the phone also bumps up the security patch level to July 2021.

Like any other OTA system update, this one is also being seeded out in batches. As a result, it may take some to reach every unit. Further, this device was carried out by almost all carriers in the US. If you own one of those models, they will likely get the update even later.

As mentioned earlier, Android 11 is the last major software update for the Galaxy A10e. However, the smartphone is eligible for at least four years of security updates. Hence, it should get maintenance updates up until 2023.

Samsung launched the Galaxy M01s in India in July 2020. It was one of the most affordable smartphones from the company last year. Exactly after a year from its launch, the phone has now finally started receiving the Android 11 update.

Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy M01s Android 11 update arrives as One UI Core 3.1. As per SamNext, the latest system update for the handset comes with firmware version M017FXXU2CUG1.

The new update is currently being rolled out in batches in India. Users in this region can head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether their unit has received it.

Even users in other regions could try checking for the new software build by following the above-mentioned method. Either way, the Android 11-based One UI Core 3.1 update should reach all the regional variants of Galaxy M01s in the coming days.

The inexpensive Galaxy M01s is neither eligible for three generations of Android updates nor entitled to receive at least four years of security updates. It’s also not sure whether the device will receive the next major One UI Core update based on Android 12.

But we could expect Samsung to seed maintenance security updates for at least one or two years. In other words, you get what you pay for.

Google is all set to release Android 12 in a couple of months, however, Samsung is yet to update some of its eligible portfolios to last year’s Android 11. The latest devices to get this update are Galaxy M10s and Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019).

The South Korean tech giant has begun to roll out the Android 11 update for two of its budget devices, namely Galaxy M10s and Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019). The update arrives as One UI Core 3.1 for them.

According to SamMobile, the latest system update for Samsung’s 2019 budget smartphone and tablet comes with firmware versions M107FXXU4CUF5 and T295XXU4CUF7 respectively. For the former, the software build arrives with June 2021 security patches, whereas for the latter, the build features May 2021 security patches.

As of now, the One UI Core 3.1 (Android 11) update for these two products is live in certain regions only. For instance, the update for Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) is being rolled out in countries like Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK. On other hand, the update for Galaxy M10s is being seeded out in India, the only region where the phone was released.

That said, the remaining regions of the tablet should also receive the update in the coming days. Lastly, Android 11 is the last major update for these two devices. But they are eligible for security updates at least until 2023.

For those unaware, Galaxy A02s, Galaxy M02s, and Galaxy F02s are basically the same phone with different names. They have an identical hardware and therefore, they also run a similar software build.

Hence, the Galaxy M02s and the Galaxy F02s have started receiving the Android 11 (One UI Core 3.1) update in India soon after the Galaxy A02s. The latest system update for these handsets comes with firmware versions M025FXXU2BUDC and E025FXXU1BUDC respectively.

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 launched the Galaxy A42 5G with Android 10 OS out of the box. Now, it is getting the Android 11 update. On the other hand, the Galaxy M31, which was the first budget device to get the Android 11 update, is now getting the incremental One UI Core 3.1.

A new update with firmware version A426BXXU1BUB7 is rolling out to the users of Galaxy A42 5G in the Netherlands. This update brings the latest One UI 3.1 based on Android 11. Also, this is a direct jump from the One UI 2.5. Samsung initially started its Android 11 rollout process with One UI 3.0 on top.

However, it switched tracks to One UI 3.1 after the Galaxy S21 launch. Anyway, the update brings Android 11 features and the latest One UI 3.1 improvements like revamped UI, improved stock apps, One-time permissions and Permissions auto-reset, Dedicated Media Player widget(in Quick settings), and more.

Parallelly, the Samsung Galaxy M31 is getting the incremental One UI Core 3.1. Earlier, the company had rolled out the One UI Core 3.0 along with the Android 11 update to the budget device.

An OTA update with firmware version M315FXXU2BUC1 weighing about 1.193GB in size is now rolling out to the users of Galaxy M31 in India. The changelog says improvements to camera, performance, and security. However, as the UI is now incremented, it should get features like the Galaxy M31s.

It’s worth noting that the updates for both these devices include the latest March 2021 security patch. If you are someone living in either of these regions, do sure to check for the OTA(Over The Air) update by navigating to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

Considering Samsung is in another league when it comes to updating its older devices, this update should expand to other regions in no time.

The post Samsung brings Android 11 to Galaxy A42 5G, Galaxy M31 gets incremental One UI Core 3.1 update appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Galaxy M51 was the most-expensive Galaxy M series smartphone up until Galaxy M62 was released a few days back. This handset debuted with One UI Core 2.1 based on Android 10. Months after its release, Samsung is now rolling out the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 core update for this phone.

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.

Right now, the software build is being pushed in batches, and therefore, it may take time to reach every unit in the country. Also, we can expect Samsung to extend the availability of this update to more regions in the coming days.

Anyway, if you happen to own this handset, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check whether your phone has received the OTA update yet.
