Verizon Samsung Galaxy A50 gets Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update

On December 2nd, 2021, Verizon released the stable Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update for the Galaxy S20 series. However, it was the first stable rollout, and further, the company expanded this major update to various Galaxy devices in different regions across the globe.

Aside from this One UI 3.0, Samsung is also rolling out the One UI 3.1 update to a number of eligible Galaxy phones and tablets. Now, as per the latest information, Verizon started sending a new software update for the Galaxy A50 users in the US, which comes with a build version of A505USQUBDUC2.

However, Samsung Galaxy phones are currently receiving the One UI 3.1 version directly with the Android 11 update but the carrier is still providing the 3.0 version of the One UI. In order to increase system security, it also installs the latest Android patches released in March 2021. Below, you can check the changelog of this update.
