Samsung has greatly improved its Android update schedule in recent years. It’s impressive to see that the company is already rolling out the Android 11 update for many of its devices while some companies with stock-ish Android are still lagging behind. After rolling out the Android 11-based One UI 3 update for some of its flagships, the company expanded the update to the first Galaxy A and M devices. Today, the company is rolling out the Android 11 update for the global variants of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. The last Samsung flagship of 2020 started to receive the update last week in Russia. Now, the same treatment is being given to the remaining units.
The new builds are coming for the 4G and 5G models. The LTE variant gets firmware version G780FXXU1BTL1 whereas the 5G model is getting the G781BXXU1BTL update. Worth noting that the update is rolling out via OTA in a gradual manner. So it may take a couple of days to reach all eligible units. If you can’t wait for the update notification to pop up on your device, you can check if you’re eligible in the Settings >> Software update menu on your phone.
