NOTICE: We’ve compiled a comprehensive Android 11 update tracker for all the major OEMs and carriers, and will be updating it continuously.
New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on August 12, 2020) follows:
Optus is currently the second largest wireless telecommunications provider in Australia and offers several Android phones that are expected to receive the Android 11 update. But before checking out the list of eligible devices, let’s first take a look at a few details regarding the release of Android 11.
Google was set to release Android 11 at its Google I/O event which was originally scheduled for May 12–14. But citing the COVID-19 pandemic, the search giant ditched the in-person event and released the first Android 11 beta update alongside a brief post on Reddit.
Soon after Google made the update available for its Pixel devices, OnePlus also released the Android 11 developer preview for its 2020 flagships. Next in line to release the beta were OEMs such as Xiaomi, Realme, and Oppo.
Google Pixel 4
By the beginning of July, the Android 11 beta program was already available for 13 devices from 7 vendors. But that’s not all, other brands such as Tecno Mobile also joined the beta party. Thus, it appears more major players in the industry have begun to take OS updates a lot more seriously than a few years ago.
A few days ago, Google also released the Android 11 beta 3 update for its Pixel phones. So we can expect to see the stable Android 11 update arrive soon. That being said, it’s now time to check out the Android 11 eligible devices from Optus in Australia.
Optus Android 11 update: Eligible devices
Predicting which smartphones will receive an upcoming Android OS update has been pretty easy. Many OEMs stick to providing two major OS updates for their devices. Samsung was one of such OEMs but it surprised everyone during its UNPACKED event by announcing that it will provide 3 OS updates for its flagships moving forward.
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
