When will my Samsung phone get the One UI 3.0 update?
If you purchased a Galaxy phone within the past couple of years, chances are you'll get an update to One UI 3.0. That includes not only flagship devices, but also all of Samsung's great budget phones.
On December 2, 2020, we started to see the first trickle of One UI 3.0 making its way to devices with the Galaxy S20 on Verizon getting the update. Just one day later on December 3, Samsung announced that One UI 3.0 was globally rolling out to the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra in the United States, Korea, and select global markets.
On December 8, the T-Mobile versions of the Galaxy S20 series started receiving the stable One UI 3.0 update. As for other Galaxy handsets, the Note 20 series, the S10 series, and the foldables will be next with an update in January. Starting in March, we'll see One UI 3.0 start making its way to phones in the Galaxy A and Galaxy M series.
Starting December 14, the Galaxy Note 20 started receiving the One UI 3.0 stable update. The rollout is kicking off with the AT&T models of the Note 20, but should make its way to other variants and unlocked devices shortly.
On December 22, Samsung started delivering the One UI 3.0 update to the Galaxy S10 Lite, unlocked Note 20 models in the U.S., and the foldable Galaxy Z Flip 5G. Samsung is basically ahead of its own rollout schedule, and that means you don't have to wait as long to make the switch to Android 11. Here's the update roadmap:
