Samsung Galaxy S21 series is still months away from the official launch. Already, a bunch of leaks and rumours have started to pour in to indicate what to expect from the next flagship series. Now, a new report reveals that the S21 series will come with OneUI 3.1 out-of-the-box.

The OneUI 3.0 is going to be the next iteration of Samsung's custom OS, based on Android 11. Samsung is already beta testing the OneUI 3.0 with S20 users in select markets. A stable version is expected to roll out early next year. The OneUI 3.1 is likely to come with improvements and new features based on the OneUI 3.0 user feedback.
