They were updated to Android 10 based on One UI 2.5 late last year. Now the duo is starting to receive the One UI 3.1 (Android 11) update.
Samsung launched the One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 from December 2020. Shortly after the launch of the Galaxy S21 series, the company focused on providing One UI 3.1. Therefore, some devices like Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A50s that don’t have One UI 3.0 are now upgraded directly to One UI 3.1.
