Android 11 Stable Version for Galaxy S20 may Release Tomorrow
Today, Samsung has officially announced its roadmap for the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update. The schedule has mentioned flagship Galaxy S20 series devices will get the stable version in the current month. Well, till now, we didn’t know the exact release date, but now, the official Samsung rep has given us a date. According to the answer by the Samsung support team in South Korea, the company will release the stable Android 11 version tomorrow, December 3.
It is too fast than I have expected that most of us were thinking it could release in between the middle of December. Samsung has already stopped releasing One UI 3.0 beta updates for the Galaxy S20 lineup in South Korea, so we can see the official release to happen tomorrow. The other flagship models Galaxy Note 20 & Note 20 Ultra might also get a stable One UI 3.0 version in December. On the official website, Samsung has previously given us a hint about both devices getting newer versions.
The Samsung rep has answered the question for the South Korean users, so South Korea might be the first country to receive the stable Android 11 update. In the other regions, it might release in stages, and the other Galaxy devices will follow. We will inform you when Samsung releases the stable Android 11 version for Galaxy S20, S20+ & S20 Ultra smartphones.

Samsung Released Android 11 Schedule for Galaxy Devices
As the company promised last month, it has released its official roadmap for the Android 11 update. The update will start from this month and it will continue till June next year. The first lucky device to get the version is from the Galaxy S20 family. Samsung has already started working on the firmware for Galaxy S20, S20+ & S20 Ultra models. Later, the Galaxy Note 10 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, and the Galaxy S10 lineup (Not included S10e) will receive Android 11 with One UI 3.0 in January.
The other flagships, Galaxy Z & Z Fold 2 have scheduled in January, and the predecessor Galaxy Fold will be getting it in February. In the Lite versions – Galaxy S10 Lite will get the update in January 2021, but the Note 10 Lite will receive it in March next year. Now, coming to the Galaxy A series & Galaxy M series, the first devices to get Android 11 are Galaxy M21, Galaxy M31 & Galaxy A51, which are scheduled for March. As per the current schedule, none of the Galaxy A series or M series devices will receive the version before March.
Now coming to the tablets, Galaxy Tab S7 has the date of the next March, and then the other tablets will follow. We have to take it in mind that this roadmap is for Egypt, so we could see an earlier release for the Galaxy A & M lineup in the Indian roadmap of Samsung. Also, in the flagship segments, some countries may get the version earlier and some will see some delays.

Samsung Rep Claims Android 11 for Galaxy S8 & Galaxy S9 Series
Samsung is busy building up the Android 11 version for its new & last year’s flagship devices. From the next month, Samsung will start to deliver One UI 3.0 for all the supported smartphones and Galaxy S20 will be the first to receive it. Now, in a new twist, the Samsung support team on WhatsApp in India is claiming that the company will also release Android 11 for Galaxy S8 & Galaxy S9 lineup. The screenshots shared by users mention the positive answers by Samsung team members.
I know, first I thought, it could be a mistake by a newly joined representative, but more than one customer has received the same answer. Now, is it true or we have to take it as a grain of salt? Last year, when Galaxy S8 users asked the same questions about Android 10, they also had received ‘Yes’ answers, though the company never released it. It could be true with Galaxy S9 & S9+, as it has recently upgraded to the One UI 2.5 version, but there could be less chance for the Galaxy S8 family.
Here is the screenshot shared by a user for the Galaxy S9 series.
And here is the screenshot by the user for the Galaxy S8 lineup.
Samsung has previously declared that the smartphones launched after the Galaxy S10 series & selected Galaxy A series of devices will get 3-years of Android 11 support. Samsung will soon announce its official roadmap of Android 11 for the selected Galaxy smartphones. In the roadmap, it will be clear which devices are in queue to get the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 version. Do you believe on these answers? Give your answer in the comments box below.

Galaxy Note 20 One UI 3.0 Beta Closed, Near to Get Stable Version
Samsung has officially declared One UI 3.0 Beta program has closed for Galaxy Note 20 & Note 20 Ultra smartphones. It is the indication of the stable version is near to launch. The Galaxy Note 20 series has received third beta version in the home country when the company announced the closing of the beta program. The Galaxy S20 users still not received any such announcement but I think, it may happen today or tomorrow. Since the beginning of October, Samsung has been opened One UI 3.0 Beta program for many flagship devices. Now, it is a perfect time to release the stable Android 11 version for all the users.
It is not confirmed when the One UI 3.0 stable version will rollout for end users. The official Galaxy Note & Fold Moderator gives hint that the last beta version was near to stable version. Further, he added the company is now giving final hands on the code and reviewing small details. The Samsung Malaysia website has already confirmed stable Android 11 version could release at the end of November or in the beginning of December.
The answer by the official Beta Operation Manager is for South Korean users, so the users in the other countries may receive another beta updates for the Note 20 series. I guess, when Samsung rollout the latest version, then Galaxy S20 series will receive it first, and later it could come to Galaxy Note 20 lineup.
The previous Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Z Flip & Z Fold 2 are still enjoying beta versions, so company might not end soon beta program for those devices. When I receive any official date for stable version, I will inform you, so stay tuned.
