After passing through the beta program, the stable version with Android 11 and One UI 3.0 begins to reach users of the Samsung Galaxy S20. The high-end of the firm receives together with the Samsung Galaxy S20 + and Galaxy S20 Ultra the latest version of the Android operating system and in turn of the company’s customization layer, with countless changes.
After knowing the update schedule for Android 11 on Samsung mobiles, the news has come with the first. Without more time to lose, the Samsung update promised for the month of December has already begun to be implemented. An important leap forward that affects all the software of the devices and brings them up to date, becoming one of the first high-end of 2020 to receive the news of Android.
The desired update with Android 11 and One UI 3.0
As on so many other occasions, the update has begun to be implemented in the United States, although it is a matter of hours before users in Spain and throughout Europe can begin to update their model. The deployment that Samsung usually performs has a variation of hours and does not extend as much as it does in Xiaomi mobiles. These updates that are already beginning to arrive should not differentiate between the S20 model with 4G technology and with 5G, because with access to the beta there were no changes either.
To check if in our case we already have it available, we just have to access Settings> System updates and we will check if it has already arrived. Before updating it is important to remember that it is a heavy update and therefore it is recommended to have more than 65% autonomy and be connected to WiFi to download and install it. Along with it we find the Android security patch for the month of December.
