Samsung rolls out Android 12 update for Galaxy M11
Samsung has started rolling out the Android 12-based One UI 4.1 update for the Galaxy M11 smartphone in Vietnam. The official changelog is yet to be updated, but we can expect that the update may not bring all the features of One UI 4.1 as the Galaxy M11 is rather underpowered. The firmware also bumps up the Android security patch to June 2022.
Why does this story matter?
Samsung launched the Galaxy M11 in 2020 as a budget-range offering. By updating a phone from two years ago, the company is indirectly telling us that it is out of phones to update. This will be the final firmware for the Galaxy M11 and let us hope this pumps some life into the phone and brings it back from obscurity.
