All we know about this …

This story is constantly updated … New updates are added at the bottom …..

The original story (from 17 Nov) follows:

Samsung’s One UI 3.0 skin over Android 11 has not yet been released to the public as a stable update. It is not surprising that Samsung did not even participate in the Android 11 beta app with Google.

Therefore, users of the Galaxy S20 series and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series only got the chance to try out the One UI 3.0 beta on Android 11 after Google introduced the stable update.

The One UI 3.0 beta program first launched for the Samsung Galaxy S20 series in its home country – South Korea – and then expanded to other regions, including Germany and the US.

Currently, Samsung has released six One UI 3.0 beta updates, with the latest version ZTKA.

That said, you can visit our dedicated tracker to learn more about the release of One UI 3.0 for all Samsung smartphones.

Although One UI 3.0 is new, it is likely that within the next few months we will see Samsung debut its One UI 3.1 skin based on Android 11.

More precisely, we can see the new skin on January 14, 2021, according to Jon Prosser, who claims that Samsung would announce the Galaxy S21 series on that date.

If you are now wondering what the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series has to do with the One UI 3.1 skin, then we hear.

Samsung has the habit of introducing new flagships with a slightly newer version of its own skin.

Take for example the Samsung Galaxy S9 series, both devices got the update to One UI 1.0. When Samsung introduced the Galaxy S10 series, it was preloaded with One UI 1.1.

Similarly, the South Korean giant released the Galaxy S20 series with the One UI 2.1 skin and the Galaxy Note 20 series got One UI 2.5 out of the box.

So, unless Samsung decides to adjust to the current trend we just highlighted, it’s likely that the Samsung Galaxy S21 series will pre-install the One UI 3.1 sheet.

This means that at the beginning of next year we will get three smartphones – the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra – with one UI 3.1.

As we are still a few months away from the expected launch, there is little or no information on what to expect from Samsung’s upcoming skin.

However, it is likely that Samsung will refine some of the existing features and may even add some new ones to enhance the user experience.

Current features like the moon mode and the night mode can see some improvements with the new skin as shown here.

Furthermore, you can expect certain Samsung Galaxy S21 series features to be transferred to older Samsung phones like the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series with the One UI 3.1 update.

But it is noteworthy that not all features that Samsung can introduce with the Galaxy S21 series will be available on older smartphones due to hardware limitations.

Of course, do not expect to see major UI upgrades, as updating One UI 3.1 from One UI 3.0 is not a major one.

On which devices will get the One UI 3.1 update, we expect Samsung to release the upcoming sheet for all smartphones that are eligible for the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update.

Nevertheless, most information about the One UI 3.1 update is based on speculations and trends in the past and should therefore not be considered as official claims.

As usual, we will continue to look for any development regarding Samsung’s One UI 3.1 sheet and will post an update as soon as new details appear.

Update 1 (December 03)

IST 11:45: While responding to a user query regarding a Night Mode related error, a Samsung team member responded by saying that Google would address the issue by the end of this month (i.e. December).

They also added that Samsung will continue with the further improvements after the release of One UI 3.1. This suggests that One UI 3.1 may appear sooner than expected?

Here is a translation of the message in the screen:

Night mode is not applied when a disaster message is received. Hello? This phenomenon will be fixed by Google at the end of December, and after the official release of One UI 3.1 we will continue with further B / W improvement.
