Samsung’s latest UI is the One UI 2.5. While this entered the stage with Note 20 series, the older One UI 2.1 was introduced with the Galaxy S20 series early this year. That said, the update is core-side, and there is no info on if the Galaxy M21 will get Android 11 yet.

The update is rolling out to users across Europe and Asia. As is the case with every update, this one should be rolled out in phases. Hence, users will have to wait for a while to see it on their device. In the meantime, users can also check for the update manually by navigating to Settings>Software update>download and install.
