Samsung Galaxy F02s Starts Receiving Android 11 Update

Galaxy F02s is a new device released about a month ago in India with Android 10 out of the box. And as we know that now most devices release with Android 11 by default, and so this was not what we expected for Galaxy f02s. Galaxy F02s is worth buying even with Android 10, but since the Android 11 is now already rolling out, the experience will be even better.

Samsung is already making difference by rolling either Android 11 or One UI 3.1 to remaining Galaxy devices every week. And so, we expect that the Android 11 for Galaxy F02s to be available with One UI 3.1 update which is currently the latest from Samsung. Also, this is the case with Galaxy M02 as well.

Since this is a major update for Galaxy F02s, the update will weigh over 1GB. So, make sure to use WiFi or have enough data for the update. The Galaxy F02s Android 11 based One UI 3.1 update is rolling out with build version E025FXXU1BUDC in India. And this update will update the Android security patch to April 2021.

Galaxy F02s Android 11 Update – Changelog

Visual design

We’ve refreshed the look and feel of One UI Core 3.1 in lots of ways, from new, more consistent icons to smarter quick panel organization and notifications. Motion is smoother and more natural, with improved animation. And better interface response means the user experience is second to none, on any device.

Improved performance

We optimized One UI Core 3.1 with enhanced dynamic memory allocation, so apps run faster and perform better. We’ve also restricted background activities to provide better performance and power usage.

Better customization

• New image categories have been added to Dynamic Lock screen, and you can select up to 5 categories at once.

Home screen and Lock screen

• Add widgets by touching and holding an app on the Home screen.

• You’ll be prompted to block websites that send too many pop-ups or notifications.
• Events with the same start time are displayed together in the month and list views in Calendar.

Easy media and device control

Media and device control is easier with the improved media panel in notifications. You can see recently used media apps and quickly change the playback device. You can also check Android Auto settings in the Advanced features menu in Settings.

Identify and improve your digital habits

Improved Digital Wellbeing features make it easy to check how you’re using your phone or tablet and help you form good digital habits. Check your usage while driving or see weekly changes in your screen time by function at a glance through upgraded weekly reports.

Accessibility for everyone

One UI Core 3.1 recommends useful accessibility features for you based on your usage. The improved Accessibility shortcut makes accessibility features easier to start and use. You can use the Speak keyboard input aloud feature to get voice feedback of your typing even when TalkBack is turned off.

Stronger privacy protection

You can now let an app access to your microphone, camera, or location just one time. Any permissions that an app hasn’t used in a while will be automatically revoked. You can no longer give apps permission to always see your location in the regular permission popup. To let apps access your location when they’re not in use, you need to go to the location permission page for the app in Settings.

Some apps will need to be updated separately after the One UI Core 3.1 update.

App copies made using Dual messenger can no longer access SD card files directly. To share SD card files in an app copy, select the files in Gallery or My Files, tap Share, then select the app copy.
