Like every other A-series phone, the Galaxy A41 also receives the One UI 3.1 build instead of One UI 3.0. The latest patch is seeding with A415FXXU1CUD4 build number. As it is a big update, it requires a huge amount of data for sideloading the new update. For the time being, the update is available in Russia, we can expect it will reach more countries in the coming days. The update on Galaxy A31 released with April 2021 monthly security patch and we can expect same with the Galaxy A41 update.

You can also use the basic features of Android 11. As for now, the changelog of the latest build is not available to us, we’ll attach it to this article once it is available.
Samsung Galaxy A41 Android 11 Update
Samsung Galaxy A41 users can now upgrade their smartphone to One UI 3.1 based Android 11 update. As for now, the update is in a rolling phase, it will be available for everyone in the coming days. You can head over to the Settings > Software Updates for manually checking the latest updates. It will show the available update so tap on download and install to get it on your phone.
While other users can wait for a few days or download the firmware manually for their smartphone.
If you’re in a haste, then you can update your device manually using Firmware. You can download Galaxy Fold Firmware from Frija tool, SamFirm tool, Samsung Firmware Downloader Tool, or SamMobile website. If you are using one of the tools then enter your model and country code and download the firmware. Once downloaded, you can flash the firmware using Odin Tool. I recommend you take a backup prior to diving into the process. That’s it.
