It wasn’t long until the Galaxy M31 recently picked up the One UI 4.1 update based on Android 12. Now it’s time for its brother, the Galaxy M31s, to try out the new software.
Samsung has started rolling out the stable One UI 4.1 update with Android 12 to the Galaxy M31s. The update, which weighs approximately 2 GB, is determined by the version number M317FXXU3DVD4 It is currently being released in SM-M317F Variant (to be clear, this is the only variant of the Galaxy M31s). The release is said to have started in Russia, and we expect the new update to make its way to other markets soon.

Just like the Galaxy M31, the phone skips the One UI 4.0 update and crashes directly into One UI 4.1. Galaxy M31 devices don’t get the full-fat One UI 4.1 experience; Instead, you get One UI Core, which is a lightweight version of One UI that Samsung ships on low-end and budget phones.
If you own a Galaxy M31s, look for the OTA popup in the coming days/weeks. The One UI 4.1 update is rolling out in a phased manner, so it will take a while to get to everyone. head over to Settings>Software Update To manually check for update. If you want to skip the wait, you can grab the new version directly from Samsung’s Firmware Update Server (FUS) and manually run it on your Galaxy device.
