The company didn’t say when it expected to provide the Android 11 beta to the Galaxy S10 and other affected models. We’ve asked Samsung for comment. While the fixed version could arrive quickly, a significant delay could affect the finished version’s availability on affected phones.
One UI 3.0 brings a host of small but tangible improvements, including for the lock screen, web browser and camera performance. Some features stem directly from Android 11, such as a section for conversations when you expand the notification shade.
Not every phone expected to get the new software will necessarily see the beta.ACnoted that Samsung still hasn’t mentioned a One UI 3.0 beta for theGalaxy S20 FE, and there’s a chance you might not see one. Still, it’s not entirely reassuring that people with 2019-era flagship phones (or 2020 foldables) might get their first taste of Android 11 later than many of their peers.
