Samsung's M range has become one of the most successful in the market in recent years, a range that Samsung is taking special care of. The Galaxy M31, reached version 2.5 of One UI last November. Two months later, Samsung has updated it again to get to One UI 3.0 already with Android 11.
In this way, the M31 becomes the Samsung's first mid-range smartphone to upgrade to Android 11 and includes the new customization layer that, at the moment, we could only find in the high-end of Samsung that has already been updated.
The firmware for this update is number M315FXXU2BUAC, an update that includes the security part corresponding to the month of January 2021. At the moment it is only available in India, so it is a matter of weeks, or maybe days, before it reaches the rest of the markets where the Korean company has put this terminal up for sale.
If you are one of those users who always wants to be among the first to enjoy the new features that Samsung adds in each update, you can stop by the SamMobile website y download the corresponding firmware.
Yes, you will need a PC to be able to carry out the installation process and, incidentally, make a complete backup in case something might go wrong during the process.
Will you get two more updates?
When Samsung announced that it was changing its update policy from 2 to 3 years, it was not mentioned if the M range was included, so it is likely that you will only receive a new update and from there, start receiving the classic security updates.
We will have to wait a year to see if Samsung's new update policy also extends to Samsung's M range, one of the best value for money currently offered by the Korean company.
