Monday's leak gave us a glimpse of Samsung's Android 12 rollout plans beyond the Galaxy S21 series, at least in South Korea. However, the company has also posted an official notice in the U.S. detailing its launch schedule.
When navigating to the bell icon in the Samsung Members app, the company lists the eligible devices and the month they will receive stable One UI 4. November is reserved for the Galaxy S21 series, which is currently rolling out now, while Samsung's best foldable phones will be updated in December.
In January, the update will arrive for Samsung's older foldable models, most Galaxy S20 devices, and the Galaxy Note series from the Note 10 and later. February will see the update arrive for the Galaxy S20, S10 series, the Tab S7 tablets, and the Galaxy A52 5G. You can see the list below:
November
- Galaxy S21 series
December
- Galaxy Z Fold 3
- Galaxy Z Flip 3
January

- Galaxy Note 10 series
- Galaxy Note 20 series

The schedule differs from the ones spotted on the South Korean and Brazilian forums, the former of which showed a ton of Galaxy flagships being updated in December. Still, now Samsung Galaxy owners know when they'll get Android 12 on their phones, and most flagship Galaxy owners should expect to receive Android 12 by February, which isn't too shabby.
As usual, Samsung notes that the details could change, particularly if it encounters any issues and that Galaxy owners will be notified via the Samsung Members app if there are any changes. As with the schedule, the listed devices may also vary based on region.
Of course, by February, we'll likely have our eyes on the Galaxy S22 series, which is expected to launch sometime in late January or early February.
It flips but it won't flop
The new Galaxy Z Flip 3 is perfect for anyone who misses the good old days when hanging up was as dramatic as slamming your phone shut. And with the larger external display, it's perfect for controlling music, checking messages, or taking selfies with the dual-camera setup.
