Back in December 2020, the Galaxy M31 became the first budget smartphone offering from Samsung that has joined the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 beta program. The beta testing activity is an opportunity to the M31 users to help the company in order to develop and provide a stable One UI 3.0 update.

Further, the Korean phone maker released around 4 beta updates with regular improvements and fixes for bugs that have reported by the One UI 3.0 beta members. Then, the users in India have started getting the stable One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 OTA back in January 2021.

Now, as per the latest information, Samsung Galaxy M31 users in India have begun receiving the latest One UI 3.1 features over the air. However, the changelog doesn’t show huge changes but the package size (1194MB) of this update leaves nothing for any confirmation.

Along with the One UI 3.1 features, this FOTA included the March 2021 security patch that improves the system security and purifies the functions of a better overall user experience. Just like every time, Samsung sending the One UI 3.1 changes to the Galaxy M31 in different phases, so it may take a little longer to be available for every single unit.

Samsung One UI 3.1.1: Eligible Devices, Features and Release Date

Published

on

Last year, Samsung started & concluded the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update rollout for most of its eligible Galaxy devices. Later on, the company introduced a minor upgraded version called One UI 3.1 alongside the Galaxy S21 series flagships.

Following this, the Korean tech giant announced that it will deliver the new One UI 3.1 features and changes to its several compatible phones and tablets until Q3 2021. However, the company is directly bringing the 3.1 version of the One UI instead of One UI 3.0 with the Android 11 upgrade.

If we take a look at the naming strategy of Samsung’s custom software skin, we found three iterations of every One UI version including – x.0, x.1, and x.5. Though we were expecting that things will remain the same and the company will announce the 3.5 version of One UI along with its next flagship smartphones this August.

Have you received the Android 11 upgrade and your Galaxy phone or tablet is currently running the One UI 3.1? Are you waiting for the One UI 3.5 update? You might never get it as Samsung is going (reportedly) to change its tradition of One UI versions.

History of Samsung One UI

  • One UI 1.0, One UI 1.1 and One UI 1.5
  • One UI 2.0, One UI 2.1 and One UI 2.5
  • One UI 3.0, One UI 3.1 and One UI 3.5 then, what?

One UI 3.1.1 will come next?

It is said that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 will come with a truly new One UI 3.1.1 version instead of the expected One UI 3.5. The reason behind this decision is unknown, at the same time, the arrival & rollout plan of the 3.1.1 version of One UI is still in the air.
