Samsung has been the world's largest Android smartphone vendor for a pretty long time, but despite its undeniable hardware prowess and virtually unrivaled marketing skills, the company always struggled in the software support department.
Until last year, that is, when the tech giant made a huge leap forward by delivering an unusually early (and perfectly stable) Android 10 update for its then-latest flagship handsets. Samsung kept up the good work during the early stages of 2020 by rapidly spreading the One UI 2.0 love to its older high-end devices and newer mid-rangers, and the company isn't slacking off as far as the Android 11 rollout is concerned either.
Some of these happen to include the full and extensive changelog, listing everything from a major visual design overhaul to several customization improvements and a multitude of "enhanced features" across categories as diverse as "calls and chats", "pictures and videos", "settings", "productivity", and "accessibility."
Tipping the scales at close to 2.5GB, the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 promotion should be downloadable across the country for Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra 5G users on T-Mobile by now. If that's not the case, you can wait a little longer or try to manually force the update from the respective sub-menu within the "Settings" main menu.
In case you're wondering, T-Mo doesn't appear to have started its official Android 11 update for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G just yet, although given the similarities between that model and the three original members of the S20 family, we expect that to happen before long as well.
