Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 10, and Galaxy Note 20 get One UI 3.1.1 updates - SamMobile

Posted: 30 Aug 2021 03:34 AM PDT

One UI 3.1.1 debuted with the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3. While most of the improvements seen in this new version of One UI are related to foldable smartphones, the update is rolling out to other smartphones as well. The One UI 3.1.1 update made it to the Galaxy S21 series last week. Now, the update seems to have been released to the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 10, and the Galaxy Note 20 series.

Since the South Korean firm is not mentioning One UI 3.1.1 in the Settings menu and there are hardly any notable features, it is hard for users to know whether their Galaxy device is running actually One UI 3.1 or One UI 3.1.1. However, Samsung's official community manager has now confirmed that the software updates released over the past week are based on One UI 3.1.1.

This update carries firmware version G97xFXXUCFUH3 for the Galaxy S10 series and has a file size of 733MB. The Galaxy S20 series gets this update with firmware version G98xBXXU9DUH2 and it weighs 623MB in size. The Galaxy Note 10 series gets the One UI 3.1.1 update with firmware version N97xFXXU7FUH3, which has a file size of 927MB. The Galaxy Note 20 series gets the new update with firmware version N98xBXXU3DUH2 and the update has a download size of 738MB.

Some new features reportedly include a Bedtime Mode quick setting toggle, faster app opening speed, faster camera, faster pop-up menus, faster fingerprint reader, improved heat management, and slight improvements to some stock apps (Clock, Contacts, Samsung Internet, Weather). Your smartphone might have already received this update and it is hard to see some of those changes, so you should not get too excited about this new version of One UI.

Microsoft may withhold security updates from unsupported Windows 11 PCs - Ars Technica

There are still a lot of question marks about running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. We know that Microsoft won't go to extraordinary lengths to keep you from running it, we know that the new OS won't be offered to older PCs automatically using Windows Update, and we know that although Microsoft's preferred security settings can degrade performance on older hardware, those settings still won't be the defaults for new installs. But now, Microsoft has added another question to that list: Will unsupported PCs be able to get updates?

The company hasn't out and out refused to offer updates for PCs that don't meet the official requirements, but Microsoft told the Verge that old PCs running Windows 11 wouldn't be "entitled" to Windows Updates, including security and driver updates. Assuming Windows 11 receives major updates once every six months or so, as Windows 10 does, those releases may also need to be installed manually on unsupported computers.

However updating unsupported PCs works in Windows 11, it's clear that Microsoft doesn't want to encourage the use of the operating system on PCs that don't meet the minimum performance and security requirements. The news that unsupported Windows 11 installs would be allowed at all was told to reporters on background, and not announced in last week's official post on the Windows blog. The company has told us that running Windows 11 on unsupported PCs was "not recommended" and that these installs are best used for temporary test machines and not hardware you rely on day to day. The company has continually reminded users that Windows 10 will be receiving a 21H2 update in the fall and that it will get security updates through October 14, 2025. It all adds up to a giant implied "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

We'll be testing the release version of Windows 11 on a range of unsupported hardware as part of our review of the operating system to give people who install the OS on older hardware some idea what they're in for. But if you want to be guaranteed a seamless automated upgrade experience, the safest way is still to use a PC with the requisite security hardware and a supported CPU. And while Microsoft recently added a handful of previously borderline processors to that CPU support list, it isn't budging on older chips.
