It’s that time of year again when Google releases the new version of its mobile operating system, and after a long few months of beta testing, the American tech giant is finally rolling out the stable version of Android 11. But of course, it’s not just Pixel users who are getting this update. A range of OEMs have announced that they plan to roll it out to their users, and as Android is an open-source operating system, we’ll no doubt see manufacturers unveil their own custom software that runs on Android 11. But which Android devices are getting the much anticipated update? Read on to find out.
What’s great about owning a Pixel smartphone is that because it’s created by Google, you’re guaranteed to get the latest Android updates first. And that’s not changed in 2020 as the stable version of Android 11 has now landed on the current lineup of Pixel handsets. As is often the case, you can expect a stock Android experience when you update your Pixel to the new version. Android 11 is available officially on the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, and Pixel 4a.

After working with Google to offer a developer preview program for Android 11 early on, the Chinese smartphone maker has since announced its Open Beta for HydrogenOS 11. Owners of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are set to benefit from Google’s latest major Android release and are first in line for their respective updates, with other devices to follow.

The company has, however, announced its first HydrogenOS 11 Open Beta for the OnePlus 8 series. By logical extension, we expect there to be an OxygenOS 11 Open Beta released for the OnePlus 8 series soon.
OPPO
OPPO has also confirmed that a number of its handsets will receive Android 11 updates. Its Android 11-based ColorOS Beta is available for the OPPO Find X2 (Global & China), OPPO Find X2 Pro (Global & China), OPPO Ace2 (China), the OPPO Reno3 4G (Global), and OPPO Reno3 Pro 4G (Global). The company recently recruited beta testers and is holding a virtual event next week to unveil the new version of ColorOS, which will run on Android 11.

Realme
Realme, another Chinese technology company known for developing affordable handsets that don’t compromise on specs, is offering an Android 11-based Realme UI Beta for the Realme X50 Pro (Global & China). Users can expect a new version of Realme UI 1.0, perhaps called Realme UI 2.0, to roll out soon.

A beta release is available for the Realme X50 Pro, but it’s based on the old version of Realme UI. Once OPPO unveils its next-gen ColorOS, we can expect Realme to follow shortly.
Samsung
Back in August, Samsung opened up a developer beta initiative targeting the Galaxy S20 lineup for its Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update. The Korean OEM has not yet disclosed its plans on Android 11 rollout for other models. We can speculate that the current generation flagship series will get before the end of the year, and others will get it later. We’ll update this article when Samsung officially releases a timeline.

Xiaomi
Xiaomi has also been preparing for the eventual rollout of Android 11. Like OPPO, the company recently launched a beta testing program for its Android 11-based MIUI 12 update, and the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro are the first in the line across both Global and China branches. The Chinese OEM is expected to eventually reveal a new version of MIUI — MIUI 13 — with new features in the near future. For now, though, a MIUI 12 beta based on the latest Android release is available for the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.
