Android 11 update: Here’s when your phone is getting a refresh

Google has launched Android 11, and a few phones have already received the update. More are part of an Android 11 beta. Here’s where to find it. …

After months of beta testing, Android 11 is finally 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 device is getting Android 11. The good news is that Android 11 is coming to more devices, sooner than ever. The bad news is that only Pixel phones received stable releases on day one, with other phones getting betas. Thankfully, the fact that many phones have betas does mean that they’ll likely get stable releases soon.

We’ve put together a list of all the phones confirmed to get Android 11, and others we expect to get the update eventually.

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.

  • Asus Zenfone 6

Android 11 on Black Shark phones

Black Shark is essentially Xiaomi’s gaming phone brand, and alongside Poco, Redmi, and actual Xiaomi phones, the company also shared which Black Shark phones will get the update. Here’s the list.

  • Black Shark 2
  • Black Shark 3

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 phones that have Android 11

  • Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
  • Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL
  • Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL
  • Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL
  • Google Pixel 4a

Android 11 on LG phones

LG has yet to announce any information regarding the update to Android 11, and the company is generally a little slow to adopt recent versions of Android. Still, we expect most of LG’s recent phones to get the update eventually, including the LG Velvet, V60, 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 Motorola phones

Motorola has yet to announce when and if any of its devices will get the update to Android 11 but we’re expecting that at least a few will at some point. The company promised an update to the not-yet-available Motorola One 5G, but there’s no word yet on when that update will arrive. 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 Fast, Moto G Power, and Motorola Razr to get the update.

Android 11 on Nokia phones

Nokia has announced which devices will get Android 11, and when they’ll get it. The good news is that most of Nokia’s recent devices will get the update. The bad news, however, is that it may take some time for some of them. Here’s the full list.

This may vary depending on region, however, and it seems as though Samsung may be slightly ahead of the curve, with some Russian Galaxy S20 FE users reportedly already getting the update, as well as some Galaxy Note 10 users in Germany. The update is also rolling out to the Galaxy Fold and Z Fold 2 in some regions.
