Samsung shares timeline for international release of One UI 3.0 for Galaxy phones – Android Police

Samsung started beta testing its Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update a few months ago, and ever since then it’s been expanding to more test devices and locations. Now the company has released details for when the final One UI 3 release is expected to start coming to many of its handsets in at least one international market, giving Galaxy users an idea of when to expect the upgrade on their own phones.

In a post on Samsung’s community forum, the company shared a notice with users in Egypt that reveals that the first phones in line to receive the Android 11 update are Galaxy S20 series devices — no surprise there. The upgrade is expected to land on Samsung’s latest flagships this month. In fact, the rollout has already begun on Verizon in the US.

After the S20 series, the list seems to go along roughly in order of release, with the Note20, Z Fold, Note10, and S10 phones scheduled for January of 2021. The update for the original Galaxy Fold is planned to begin in February, while March may bring One UI 3.0 to the Galaxy A51, Galaxy M21, Galaxy M30s, Galaxy M31, Galaxy Note 10 Lite, and Galaxy Tab S7.

Of course, these are just the estimated release times for one international market, and timing will vary depending on where you’re located and how fast your carrier approves the OTA update. That said, these dates give us a good indication of how long we’ll be waiting for One UI 3.0.
