Samsung opened the Android 11-based One UI 3 Beta Program back in September and started rolling out builds soon after to the Galaxy S20 family of devices. The program then expanded to more countries and devices, with constant updates fixing the many bugs present in the OS, readying it for public release. Now, the company has supposedly posted the release schedule for the next major One UI update for devices in Egypt, as per a user’s post on Samsung’s forums (spotted by TizenHelp).
The Members app notice seems to list a bunch of Galaxy devices and the intended month that the firm is "preparing" to release the One UI 3 update. While the list is expected to apply only for devices in Egypt, it is safe to assume that the schedule is indicative of the possible release timelines for phones in other markets.
Unsurprisingly, the first of the devices to receive the Android 11-based update will be the Galaxy S20 series, with the rollout expected to happen this month. The Galaxy Note20 Ultra, Note20, Note10 lineup, and the S10 lineup – except for the S10e – are expected to receive the OS upgrade in January 2021. The Galaxy Z Fold2 and Z Flip are also expected to be updated in January. The original Galaxy Fold, however, is listed for a February 2021 release.
Various other midrange offerings such as the Galaxy A51, M31, M30s, and the M21 are expected to be updated in March 2021. The Galaxy Note10 Lite and the Tab S7 are also listed for a March release.

The list lacks some models like the S10e and might be updated in the near future. Additionally, it must be noted that the post is for devices in Egypt, so the timelines could slightly change for other regions. It should not be long before the South Korean giant provides updates for the schedule in more countries.
