Samsung started releasing the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 firmware update for the Galaxy S10 series in the first week of January. The update debuted in Europe, but is now finally reaching the Galaxy S10 series in the USA. It is being released for unlocked models, although operator variants should eventually receive the same treatment.
The Android 11 / One UI 3.0 update for the Galaxy S10 series in the U.S. comes a little later than expected, especially now that it has been a month and a half since the initial launch in Europe. However, as many of you probably know, Samsung was forced to withdraw the initial version due to unspecified problems for about a week before resuming it.
Whatever was wrong with the initial release should have been fixed, and Galaxy S10 series owners in the U.S. can now finally join the One UI 3.0 party that started earlier this year. They will enjoy a new and redesigned user interface with a modernized look across the UI and third-party apps, new alerts and notifications, new lock screen features and more.
Unlocked Galaxy S10 owners in the U.S. should be able to download the new firmware update – identified by the firmware version G97xU1UEU4FUA4 – Opening settings on their phones, browsing to Software update and choosing the Download and install option. Alternatively, they can search and download the firmware from our archive and install it on their phones manually using a PC.
