Samsung Android 11 update roadmap: When will you get One UI 3.0? (Update)

Update: December 4, 2020 (2:40 AM ET): Samsung didn’t list the Galaxy S20 FE on its apparent Android 11 update roadmap for Egypt, but it now seems the phone may gain One UI 3.0 pretty soon. According to Max Weinbach, the phone could receive Samsung’s latest skin and the latest Android version before the end of the year. Weinbach also states that the Galaxy Note 20 series — initially quoted to receive the update in January — may gain Android 11 later this month, too.

Samsung has yet to unveil the full roadmap for regions beyond the reported Egypt schedule, but the company has officially kicked off the rollout for the Galaxy S20 series in Europe and the US. Expect more countries and devices to be added to this list in due course.

Original article: December 2, 2020 (4:25 AM ET): Samsung has unveiled its lengthy Android 11 update roadmap, which will see a slew of its smartphones and tablets receive One UI 3.0 in the coming months. Spotted by TizenHelp, the roadmap stems from Egypt so take the dates as a rough guide if you happen to be in Europe, India, or the US.

In total, the roadmap includes the firm’s flagship lines from 2020 and 2019, as well as a smattering of phones from its tablet, Galaxy A, and Galaxy M families.

The Galaxy S20 series – including the S20 Plus and S20 Ultra – will be the first to receive stable Android 11 builds as early as this month. In January 2021, the Note 20 series, Z Flip and Z Fold 2, Note 10 series, and S10 series will be next in line for the update. Samsung’s roadmap extends all the way to September 2021, which will see the Android 11 update finally arrive on the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019).

Not every notable Samsung phone and tablet is included on the list. The Samsung Galaxy S10e and the Galaxy S20 FE are the surprise omissions, while the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus is also oddly absent. Those still rocking Galaxy S9 and Note 9 devices will not see the Android 11 update reach their aging devices.
