Samsung Galaxy M21 has started receiving the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update in India, as per a report. India is said to be the first country to receive the over-the-air (OTA) update, although it will likely expand to other regions soon. The update brings the January 2021 Android security patch to the Samsung Galaxy M21 along with One UI 3.0 and Android 11 features. Samsung has been updating several of its flagship smartphones to the latest software as well as some mid-range phones.

The Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update for the Samsung Galaxy M21 carries the firmware version M215FXXU2BUAC, as per a report by SamMobile.
