Android 11 update: Here’s when your phone is getting new software

By

Android 11 is here. The new mobile operating system isn’t necessarily as groundbreaking as some previous updates, but it still brings several new privacy features, as well as some visual changes that should make accessing things like smart home devices a whole lot easier.

Of course, you might be wondering exactly when your phone is getting Android 11. The good news is that Android 11 is coming to more devices week by week. The bad news is that even months after it debuted, some phones still haven’t received the update or only have early betas available. Still, some big names have rolled out the update to popular models — hopefully including the one in your hand.

Android 11 on Asus phones

Asus has joined the Android 11 beta program, however, there are currently only two eligible devices — the Asus Zenfone 6 and the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro. Still, more devices will likely join the beta as time goes on.

Android 11 on Google Pixel phones

As you would expect, Google Pixel phones are among the first to get Android 11 — however, not all Pixel devices will get the update. The original Pixel and Pixel XL won’t get any updates beyond Android 10, but considering that the original Pixel is now four years old, that’s not necessarily unexpected. As you might guess, the new Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 ship with Android 11.

  • Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL
  • Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL

Android 11 on LG phones

LG is finally beginning to roll out Android 11, but only in certain regions. We expect most of LG’s recent phones to get the update eventually, including the V50, G8, and G8X. We’ll have to wait and see just how long it takes these phones to get the update, but it may be at least a few months.

Android 11 on Microsoft phones

OK, so there’s only one Microsoft phone that could get Android 11, but recent reports indicate that users might have to wait a while. The Microsoft Surface Duo will reportedly get the Android 11 update “this summer,” according to a report from German outlet Dr. Windows.

Android 11 on Motorola phones

Motorola has finally announced the first of its devices to get Android 11, and we’re expecting a number of the company’s other phones to get the build soon too. The rollout is starting with the Moto G Pro, which is also known as the Moto G Stylus in the U.S. Unfortunately, the Moto G Pro is part of Android One — but the Moto G Stylus isn’t, so it may be a while before the U.S. version of the device gets the update. Motorola has promised the update to the Motorola One 5G too. Generally speaking, over the past few years, Motorola has been a little lax with Android updates, so even if you do have a recent Motorola device, it may be a while before you get Android 11. Eventually, we expect the Motorola Edge, Edge+, Moto G Series, and Motorola Razr to get the update.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame
The rear camera setup on the Oppo Find X8 Pro.

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.

A must-try Android app has finally arrived on the iPhone
Person holding a phone with Google Gemini Live being shown.

A few days ago, Google Gemini appeared in the Apple App Store for a user in the Philippines, who was even able to download it. We took it as a sign that the new AI assistant would soon make its way to the App Store in the U.S. Well, we were right, as you can now download Gemini as a standalone app on your iPhone, after previously only being able to access it through a browser.

The Gemini app is free to download and has a surprising number of features available. More powerful functions are available for a $20-per-month subscription, but you can try Gemini Advanced out for one month for free. It grants priority access to new features and gives a "1 million token" context window.

The Pixel Watch is about to get a long-awaited software update
The Google Pixel Watch 3 lying on top of a plant.

For the most part, Google has issued an update to the Pixel Watch roughly once a month. Most were simple security updates, while others included new features and OS upgrades. Fans expected an update in October, but Google delayed it until this month. This update will resume the rollout of Wear OS 5 to Pixel Watch 1 and Pixel Watch 2 users after a series of crashes caused Google to pause it back in September. After several months of work, the company has addressed the cause of the crashes and is confident that yesterday's update will be stable.

In addition to Wear OS 5, the update will also include better camera controls and changes to the Pixel Recorder app, which will be available through the Play Store. Your individual watch will notify you when the update is available for download, so you don't have to constantly check for it. The first update for the Pixel Watch 3 since its launch is also coming with bug fixes and security updates. All Pixel Watch models will eventually update to version AW2A.241105.012, although when the update happens will depend on both the carrier and the device.
