Samsung has been rapidly updating eligible devices to One UI 5.1 since the latest version of its custom Android skin was revealed earlier this month. Many of its current and old flagship phones have already received the update.
It was only a matter of time before Samsung released the One UI 5.1 update for the Galaxy Note 20 series. If you own one of the recent Note devices, you will be happy to hear that Samsung is now rolling out this much-awaited update for your device.
Galaxy Note 20 phones receive One UI 5.1 update
This is the pace Samsung is going through with this rollout, as it has fallen behind on its One Ui 5.1 release roadmap. The Galaxy Note series was supposed to get the update in the last week of February, but here we are in the third week, and we are already seeing the update start arriving on the device.
The first reports about the arrival of the update hit the news waves from Argentina. It will likely be rolled out in phases, so it will take some time before the update is available in all markets and countries, so you will have to wait a little longer. On the other hand, you can download it from the Internet normally, but it is recommended to wait for the air update.
It remains to be seen whether Battery drain problem In One UI 5.1 it will affect Galaxy Note 20 devices as well. There have been multiple reports from Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 owners that their battery life is draining faster after they have updated their phones to the latest version available. Samsung hasn’t acknowledged the issue yet, but it’s likely they’re working on it.
The “porridge” on the Samsung Community forums shows a number of Galaxy S22 owners seeing a significant impact on their battery life since installing the update, and the same was noted on Reddit. The problem may be caused by excessive battery usage by Samsung’s keyboard app, though for others, there is no apparent reason for the increased battery drain. Some Galaxy Z Fold 4 owners see the same thing with the battery.
