Now, Samsung is just providing One UI 3.0– and for that reason, Android 11– for its Galaxy S20 lineup (which includes the S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra), although the finished product should be readily available on a wider variety of devices once it leaves beta. The public beta will be readily available in China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States, although Samsung has yet to reveal a release date.

Visually, One UI 3.0 looks fairly similar to the existing One UI 2.5, although theres a host of new features and gestures added. You can now hold an app and touch on your home screen to view all of the widgets that can be included for that app (instead of having to navigate through the usual widget menu) as well as double-tap your home screen to turn off your display screen. Theres likewise a range of DeX improvements, a brand-new volume slider UI, and enhancements to Bixby regimens. Thats in addition to Android 11 functions like the brand-new chat bubbles and the updated media player.

Android 11 has actually arrived, which indicates Samsungs customized One UI skin is also due for an upgrade to include Googles most current software application, One UI 3.0, which the business has actually started presenting to selected designers in the US and South Korea in a “pre-beta” ahead of a larger public beta test.

The early screenshots, gotten by XDA-Developers, provide us a nice appearance at what modifications we can anticipate in the update, that includes a mixture of new features that are being included at on OS-level, thanks to Android 11, along with Samsung-specific tweaks and enhancements. Android Police has published the complete changelog for the update, which provides a more comprehensive overview of what to expect.
