Samsung has done a great job of bringing Android 11 and, in turn, One UI 3 to its smartphones, but there is still quite an update to come. One UI 3.1 debuted on the S21 series and is now starting to expand with a release on some Galaxy S20 FE models.
One UI 3.1 is built on 3.0 and the same Android 11 core, but it brings a handful of tweaks. Perhaps most notable is the addition of smart home controls from more apps, a native Android 11 feature, which will actually be enabled in this update. Rather than being found in the power menu, it’s under the “devices” button in the notification shade. In addition, there are other changes, such as better functionality for various devices with Samsung tablets and certain earbuds, such as the Galaxy Buds Pro.
To date, One UI 3.1 is only available in two places. First of all, the Galaxy S21 series of smartphones. All three models ship with this update out of the box. Furthermore, the only devices that Samsung has officially updated to One UI 3.1 are the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 +.
Now Samsung is rolling out One UI 3.1 to the Galaxy S20 FE in parts of Europe. Specifically, SamMobile has discovered that the update is rolling out 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 includes the February security patch. It’s unclear when the update will be expanded, but it’s a good start. It will be interesting to see how quickly other Galaxy S20 models, Galaxy Fold 2 and the rest of Samsung’s lineup are picking up this update.
