As of the moment, the latest package for the Galaxy S21 lineup is unfurling in the European markets and some other regions including Germany. For the Galaxy S21, the package can be identified by the firmware version G991BXXU3BUKG. While for the Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra, the PDS number varies to G996BXXU3BUKG and G998BXXU3BUKG respectively. Following this rollout, the software will be extended to more regions soon.

As far as changes are concerned, this build does not include any significant changes. But it brings a few improvements to the system functions. These minor upgrades are imperative to the device to maintain performance and for a polished user experience. Also, considering the fact that the update arrived a few days before the beginning of next month, it could probably resolve several unknown issues thus, enhancing the system functions.

Samsung is rolling out the fresh software in batches. Therefore, you may have to wait a while in order to flash it to your respective device. In case you are particularly impatient, you can try visiting Software updates under the Settings app and install the version manually.

The announcement was made via the Oppo Smart Life Weibo account. Starting with older Enco models, the Enco X, Enco Air, and Enco Play will now support the double-tap camera control feature just like Enco Free2 and Enco Free2i. However, keep in mind that for the Enco TWS earphones, the double-tap camera control feature only works on smartphones running ColorOS 11.3 or above.

Heading to next, the Enco X is inheriting a feature from the Enco Free2 series: personalized sound boost. Apart from the iOS users, smartphones operating Android 6.0 or higher versions based on ColorOS skin can access the new function. For the non-ColorOS handsets, all you need to do to activate the feature is install the HeyTap app on your phone.

Coming to the Enco Free2 launched earlier this year. The earphones are receiving dual-connection capability available for the Enco Free2i users. That means the Enco Free2 owners can also switch between two paired devices effortlessly. And the best part is this feature works on all devices, on all platforms, and product categories!

If you are any of the Oppo Enco TWS users, make sure to keep your firmware updated to the latest versions in order to take advantage of the new features. Keep an eye on the HeyTap application for December 1 or later updates.
