By team91 -OneUI 3 release date, update list, and more: One UI 3 is the latest custom skin from Samsung. The skin is based on Google’s Android 11 OS platform and comes with several new features and enhancements over the previous-gen One UI 2.5. Samsung has released two versions of its new iteration of custom skin so far, namely One UI 3.0 and One UI 3.1. The latter is built on top of One UI 3.0. However, the One UI 3.1, which was introduced with the Galaxy S21 series, ships with some new features that the older version doesn’t have. Samsung has started rolling out the update to older devices, but not every One UI 3.1 feature will make its way given some hardware is required. We take a look at the One UI 3.0/ One UI 3.1 update list, release date, and features in this article.
