Samsung is doing very well in the process of bringing Android 11 and, in turn, One UI 3 to their smartphones, but there is another complete update to be brought. A 3.1 UI debuted in the S21 series and is now starting to expand with a release on some Galaxy S20 FE models.
A 3.1 UI is built on top of 3.0 and the same core as Android 11, but brings some tweaks with it. Perhaps most notable is the addition of smart home controls for more apps, a native feature of Android 11, actually enabled in this update. Instead of being found in the power menu, it is under the “devices” button in the notification tab. In addition, other changes include better functionality between devices with Samsung tablets and certain headphones, such as the Galaxy Buds Pro.
So far, One UI 3.1 is only available in two places. First, the Galaxy S21 smartphone series. All three models are shipped with this update out of the box. In addition, the only devices that Samsung officially upgraded to One UI 3.1 were the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 +.
Now, Samsung is launching One UI 3.1 for the Galaxy S20 FE in parts of Europe. Specifically, SamMobile found that the update is being implemented in the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Slovenia, Portugal and Poland, as well as in the Nordic and Baltic regions. The update also features the February security patch. It is unclear when the update will be expanded, but it is a good start. It will be interesting to see when other models of the Galaxy S20, Galaxy Fold 2, and the rest of the Samsung line will get this update.
