According to the info, Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A71 devices will get the new One UI 5.1 update on March 21 in Canada. In addition, the firmware will also bring the latest March 2023 security patch to keep the system software secure against various threats.

One UI 5.1 is going to be the last major software update for the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy A71. These four devices launched with Android 10-based One UI 2.1 out of the box and were eligible for three generations of major OS upgrades.

On the other hand, the Galaxy A52 5G was launched in 2021, running the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 pre-installed. This phone is also supported for up to three Android upgrades, and the support is scheduled to end with the release of Android 14 this year.

Samsung’s new One UI 5.1 software is still based on the Android 13 operating system. Over the vanilla One UI 5 version, the 5.1 brings some additional new features such as a battery widget, enhanced Gallery & Camera along with refined performance and fluency.

Since the carrier will begin the rollout on March 21, we recommend you download the firmware over an unmetered internet connection such as WiFi. It’s not necessary to create a backup of your data prior to software installation but you can create one to get back the data in case of any mishappening.

It’s to upgrade your phone

No doubt, the Galaxy A71 is one of the best creations of Samsung. However, the smartphone is now old and doesn’t have as many features as the new Galaxy phones.

The recent One UI 5.1 update breathed new life into the A71 but this is its last major software update and from now on, the customers have to satisfy with the irregular security patches.

Meanwhile, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A54 smartphone will be the best choice for you if you want to stay connected with the latest Android and One UI  features while managing the same price range.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy A54 smartphone this week. It has various advanced internals, the latest software, four major Android update support, a beautiful flagship design, and more at a mid-range cost.

The South Korean tech giant announced three major OS upgrades for the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 in August 2020. The same treatment has been promised to the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 handsets in 2021, while the company revised its policy last year.

In February 2022, Samsung announced that flagship devices from the Galaxy S21 series will have support for up to four Android OS updates and five years of security patches. Apart from premium ones, the company had also promised the same support for Galaxy A54 and A74 along with their future sequels.

The Galaxy A74 is reportedly dead, while the Galaxy A34 will be announced alongside the Galaxy A54 5G. Since the A34 is an affordable phone, Samsung may not give four OS updates to the device in order to achieve more sales of the A54 as well as keep a certain gap.

It means the Galaxy A54 5G will be the only Samsung mid-range phone supported for 4 Android OS updates, announced in 2023. Since the device is ready to debut with Android 13-based One UI 5.1 pre-installed, it will be eligible for major upgrades up to Android 17, starting with the v14.

Earlier, Chinese smartphone vendors like Oppo and OnePlus announced bringing four OS updates to their flagship models launched in 2023. It shows how rivals worry about Samsung’s lead in after-sales support and the best Android distribution along with longer support.

If you don’t want to spend your money on a premium Galaxy S23, the Galaxy A54 is the perfect choice with the same software support.

However, the devices are only eligible for three major Android software updates, therefore, the customers have to satisfy with Android 13-based One UI 5.1 features for a lifetime.

Galaxy A54:

If you want to stay connected with the fresh Android and One UI features and the Galaxy A series, the upcoming Galaxy A54 will be your best choice.

Samsung will reportedly unveil this smartphone next week. It has various advanced internals, the latest software, four major Android update support, a beautiful flagship design, and more at a mid-range cost.
