This launch follows an earlier setback. Samsung announced the One UI 3.0 beta, based on Android 11, at the launch of the Galaxy Note series in August. After the initial developer build, it was released to the Galaxy Note 10 and other devices, but the rollout had to be paused shortly afterward because of a major bug. With that issue resolved, the stable release is now arriving. For more on the company behind it, visit Samsung.
