Samsung OneUI 3.0 Public Beta Arrives In The US

Google officially launched the stable version of Android 11 last month. At present, the latest Android update has only landed on the Pixel lineup. However, other smartphone manufacturers are working hard to get Android 11 updates for their devices.

Samsung yesterday rolled out Android 11-based OneUI 3.0 public beta to Galaxy S20 series users in South Korea. Now, the public beta of OneUI 3.0 has officially landed in the US.

As of now, only T-Mobile users with Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra can flash the latest OneUI 3.0 based on Android 11. However, the update will eventually be available to all the Galaxy S20 series owners in the US. OneUI 3.0 beta update for the Galaxy S20 Ultra holds the firmware version G988USQU1ZTJ3 and is close to 3GB in size.
