Samsung's Galaxy A12 and A02s are finally receiving the Android 11 update

The Galaxy A12 and A02s are Samsung's latest A series phones to get Android 11.

What you need to know

Samsung's entry-level Galaxy A02s and Galaxy A12 phones are now receiving the Android 11 update with One UI 3.1 Core.
The Android 11 update for the Galaxy A12 also includes the latest May security patch.
Both phones were launched with Android 10 out of the box.

Samsung's Galaxy A02s and Galaxy A12 phones, which were launched earlier this year, have started to receive the Android 11 update. As reported by SamMobile, the Android 11 update arrives as A125FXXU1BUE3 for the Galaxy A12 and Galaxy A025FXXU2BUDC for the Galaxy A02s.

The update for the Galaxy A12 brings Samsung's One UI 3.1 Core, which introduces a revamped UI design, improved Digital Wellbeing and parental controls, additional lock screen widgets, and more. All the usual Android 11 goodies such as one-time permissions, chat bubbles, privacy improvements, and more are included as well.

What is more impressive, however, is that the update brings the latest May 2021 Android security patch to one of Samsung's best cheap Android phones. Samsung's Galaxy A02s is also getting the One UI 3.1 Core update along with Android 11, but not the latest Android security patch. Instead, the update comes with the April 2021 security patch.

Currently, the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 Core update for the two phones is limited to users in Russia. However, it shouldn't take long for Samsung to expand the update to more regions — including the U.S. and India. If you have a Galaxy A12 or Galaxy A02s, you can check for the update on your phone manually by heading over to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
