The first generation of Samsung's first folding smartphone has started to receive Android 11 under One UI 3.0 ahead of schedule. According to the Android 11 updates roadmap published by the Korean company in late December, the original Galaxy Fold would be updated in mid-February. However, in some countries such as France, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates, both the 4G version and the 5G variant are already available.
This update comes a few days after the update received by the second generation of the Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and offers us the same new functionalities that we can find in the second version of the Galaxy Fold and among which we find the chat bubbles, a new section to read conversations in the notification area, a widget that allows us to control media playback ...
The firmware version for the Galaxy Fold 4G is F900FXXU4DUA1, while that of the 5G version is F907BXXUDUA1. To check if the update is already available in your country, you just have to go to the settings of your terminal, in the Software Updates section.
If this is available, in order to install it, your terminal must have at least 50% battery, so it is advisable to carry out this update process at night, when you are going to charge your terminal. That if, first of all, remember back up.
The path the Galaxy Fol had to travel until it hit the market it was long and winding. Weeks before the market launch of this model, various media had the opportunity to analyze it and found many deficiencies, deficiencies motivated by the fact that it implied a generational change with new components (hinge, flexible screen, adapted applications ...).
At that point, Samsung made the logical decision to delay launch a few months to solve the problems that the main media had reported, which also allowed him to work on a much more perfect second generation, as the media have reflected.
