Samsung One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 rolls out as public beta

Samsung changed its software outlook with the One UI few quarters back. The company redesigned its interface to make it less clunky and offer it without bloatware. And it has consistently looked to make things better for users, offering the latest updates at the earliest. With the rollout of Android 11, the brand is already busy working on its next iteration of One UI. This is why most people will be pleased to know that One UI 3.0 version is now getting a public beta release. However, this is limited to the US market for now. But we can expect Samsung to offer it for other countries very soon.

The roll out is coming to Galaxy S20 series of devices in US. Samsung is making minimal changes to the feature set of One UI 3.0. Making sure you get the best of Android 11, coated with some in-house features at the top. The report from Sammobile says the One UI 3.0 beta roll-out will gather pace in the coming weeks. And countries like China, Germany, India, and Poland among others should be getting it soon. Those interested to be part of the beta program can sign up via the Samsung Members app.

We’re keen to see if the One UI 3.0 version offers a more fluidic experience. So, you can get the best use of a 120Hz refresh rate screen on a high-end device.
