New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 10, 2021) follows:
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was one of the first few phones to get the stable update to Android 11 with the One UI 3.0 skin on top.
Like most other devices from the company, the S20 FE models bagged the update ahead of Samsung’s official schedule and at present has been made available to users across the globe.
One UI 3.0 brings a host of improvements and new features to the device including a revamped user interface.
However, even though it has only been a couple of months since becoming available for the public, One UI 3.0 isn’t the latest skin Samsung has to offer.
That title has now been taken over by the One UI 3.1 skin that Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S21 series. And up until now, was only released for the Tab S7 series.
But that has changed since the South Korean giant has finally begun seeding the One UI 3.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G.
The update is rolling out in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Poland, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Romania, Switzerland, and a few other European countries as per SamMobile’s database.
It bears the firmware version number G781BXXU2CUB5 and also brings along the February security patch.
Samsung has also updated its official page for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G (SM-G781B) to reflect the release of One UI 3.1.
Furthermore, a couple of users (1,2) have confirmed receiving the update on Reddit. We’ve shared a screenshot of the software information page below:
We’ve added the official changelog for the update below in case you wish to check out all that’s new with One UI 3.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G.
Now that the Korean smartphone vendor has released its One UI 3.1 skin to the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G in Europe, users can expect to get the update in other regions soon.
The standard Galaxy S20 FE should also pick up the latest skin over the following days or weeks. Matter of fact, it should be available to a host of devices for which the internal testing is ongoing soon as well.
