14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung is workaround around the clock to bring Android 11 to its phone lineup, and this week the company has started testing the operating system update on more devices.
This time, it’s the turn of the Galaxy A51 5G and the Galaxy M31 to get early versions of the Android 11 update, though for the time being, this appears to be happening only in certain regions across the world.
AP writes that users in South Korea can now install Android 11 beta on the Galaxy A51 5G as part of Samsung’s dedicated program in this regard, while the OS update is available for the M31 only in India.
Entering the beta program can be done from the Samsung Members app, and the testing build will then be shipped through the phone update function.
The Android 11 update
In the meantime, Samsung is working on making the Android 11 update available for the Galaxy S and Note series, as the rollout to the first units has already started earlier this month.
The Galaxy S20 and the Note20 can already be updated to One UI 3.0 and Android 11, and the update is now going live to their predecessors too.
What’s more, Samsung has more things to be busy with, as the company is expected to take the wraps off the Galaxy S21 in some three weeks. Needless to say, the next member of the Galaxy S family will come with Android 11 pre-loaded.
The top of the range model will remain the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which will also include support for the S Pen, the signature feature of the Note series. The Ultra is thus expected to become a full replacement for the Note series eventually, as Samsung is believed to be planning a full demise of this model.
