Verizon uncovered this morning that Samsung’s Galaxy S20 lineup will be the first Samsung phones to get Android 11 and Samsung’s One UI 3.0 in the US, and now the software has just begun streaming out to clients, as per Droid Life. One UI 3.0 has been in public beta throughout the previous two months, yet this denotes the official arrival of the final software.
One UI 3.0 has the messaging, notifications and security features of Android 11, alongside some add-ons explicit to One UI. Samsung has added simpler approaches to access widgets, take screenshots, and double-tap the screen to put your phone to sleep, to give some examples, however in the event that you need a more comprehensive list of the entirety of the One UI 3.0 changes, you can look at this roundup at Android Police.
Outside the US, the international launch of One UI 3.0 also seems to be spinning up also. Android Police says that Samsung sent a full schedule of release dates to clients in Egypt, with the flagship S20 line getting Android 11 and One UI 3.0 some time in December, however after the US. As indicated by the schedule, the next phones to get the update will be Note 20, Z Fold, Note 10, and S10 phones in January 2021. The update will set aside some effort to hit each Samsung phone that supports it you’re using a Galaxy A10, A20 or A30S, don’t anticipate seeing it before August.
At the point when we explored Android 11 in September, we valued all its additional features for dealing with the unpredictability of modern Android phones, however noticed the possibility for fragmentation, as Google and Samsung’s takes on Android have begun to veer once more. Samsung was known for setting aside a long effort to release updates, similar to when it took five entire months to convey Android Pie. However, that is changed throughout the years as it’s improved at dealing with its timetable. A year ago’s Android 10 update took three months to hit the first phones, and that is what we’re seeing with Android 11 this year as well.
Issues like fragmentation are significant on the grounds that Samsung is the biggest cell phone seller around the world, and the biggest maker of Android phones in the US. That implies the far and wide reception of new features generally depends on the organization deciding to remember them for new versions of One UI. From our initial review, it seems like the most important bits of Android 11 have made it into One UI 3.0; however with regards to Google’s other Android projects, Samsung probably won’t have as a lot to pick up.
