When will your smartphone get One UI 3.1.1?

It is very likely that the upcoming update for the Samsung user superstructure, One UI, will not be marked 3.5. The technology web portal SamMobile came with the news that the update will probably be known as the new One UI 3.1.1. He also announced when and on which devices this update will arrive.

One UI 3.1.1 comes on flagships and popular mid-range models

The list of smartphones that One UI 3.1.1 will receive is almost certain. Now it just depends on when the update for the given models gets. Looking back on this time one year ago, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series made a significant leap to One UI 2.5 a few weeks after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 model series. This happened at the Unpacked event.

Although it is not clear whether the introduction of the next version of the graphics superstructure on Samsung smartphones will have a similar presentation date as it did last year, we know the approximate dates of updates for individual phones.

Of course, the current flagship Samsung Galaxy S21 has priority

If the official launch of the new version of One UI takes place during the introduction of the new folding smartphones, the update for the Samsung Galaxy S21 series is expected as early as August.

Models from the Samsung Galaxy S20 series should also receive an update a few days to weeks later. Towards the end of August or the beginning of September, smartphones from the series, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Note 20 and possibly the Galaxy Note 10, could also receive the update.

Owners of Samsung Galaxy A52, Galaxy A71 and probably also Galaxy M32 can also look forward to it. These models could be updated by the end of the autumn months. Then Samsung will be interested in the advent of One UI 4.0, which is expected to come with the advent of the upcoming flagship series of Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphones.

Smartphones that were not mentioned will probably only get One UI 4.0 directly

You may now be wondering why there are only a few phones in the list of updated devices on One UI 3.1.1. The answer is clear. For other supported smartphones, the update to One UI 3.1.1 will be skipped and they will receive one UI 4.0. Samsung is upgrading to a newer version of its user superstructure by the end of the year only those flagship models, along with the more popular ones, which come from the middle class.

Although it may not be a complete list of updated mobile phones from the workshop of the South Korean giant, One UI 4.0 is expected to receive the vast majority of Samsung models used today. Their users certainly do not have to worry about premature termination of support. However, One UI 3.1.1 will not be such a significant update, compared to the arrival of One UI 4.0, which may come with the new Android 12.

The competition is not asleep, but Samsung is most concerned with updates

In terms of competition for updates, Samsung is currently the absolute market leader. He recently improved the functionality of the cameras on the Samsung Galaxy A52 and Samsung Galaxy A72 smartphones with an update.

Asus ROG Phone 3 also finally got an update on Android 11. Finally, HMD Global finally updated its very cheap model Nokia 1.3 on Android 11 before the date of the official launch of the latest Android 12, which is currently in the testing phase.
