Update:Since we published this story,Samsunghas confirmed the update will begin rolling out to the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S2 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra from today for those in the US, UK and “most markets in Europe”.

It has also confirmed the update will gradually rollout to its other devices in the coming weeks, so that suggests the information below from Samsung Egypt is correct for both the US and UK too.

Original story:Android 11has been appearing onAndroid phonesfor the last few months, but those with Samsung devices are still waiting to see when they’ll get the update. A new report though gives us an idea of when it’ll land on your phone.

Samsung has included a schedule of its Android 11 update plans in the Samsung Members app in Egypt.

It offers us a rough glimpse on when you should expect an update, but while this is confirmation for Egypt, the company has yet to officially confirm its timeframes for those in regions like the US, UK or Australia.

All of that said, this does give us a good idea of when Samsung handsets are likely to get the Android 11 software upgrade. Here’s what the official Samsung Members app in Egypt has told users, according toTizenHelp.

So that suggests the vast majority of flagship devices from Samsung over the last few years will be getting Android 11 by the end of January 2021. There’s no sign of slightly older devices like theSamsung Galaxy S9series, suggesting that phone won’t get the upgrade.
