Google officially released Android 11 for Pixel phones in September last year. Now more than 8 months after its rollout, handset makers continue to struggle with pushing the new version for their devices. While some of them have got it, the likes of Nokia have been severely hampered because of the pandemic globally. Stable roll out of Android 11 update continue to make their way in India and we have compiled a list of devices from brands like OnePlus, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, and more that have received the Android 11 update in India.

Phones that have got Android 11 update in India
OPPO Android 11 update
OPPO does not figure among reliable names when it comes to pushing the latest Android updates.

Samsung Android 11 update
Samsung has changed its stance on software update over the past few years and this refreshing change is a good sign for users. The new outlook has meant that most of its mid-range and premium devices get updated in regular intervals. This is why the list below looks fairly impressive, even if you consider there are so many Galaxy devices that are still to get Android 11 update. Samsung has redesigned the One UI interface to make it slicker.

OnePlus Android 11 update
Moving to OnePlus and going by its track record, one would assume that most of its existing devices have got the Android 11 update. While the usual timeline for OnePlus phone updates used to be quicker, we are just pleased to see existing OnePlus users getting a taste of Android 11, before the next version comes out.
- OnePlus 6
- OnePlus 6T

- OnePlus 7 Pro
- OnePlus 7T
- OnePlus 7T Pro
- OnePlus 8

OnePlus 7 and 7T series got their stable Android 11 update in March this year. The beta rollouts happened few months before that. After a long wait, OnePlus 6 and 6T users got their Android 11-based Oxygen OS update in August.
Realme Android 11 update
Realme has launched a lot of phones over the past 6 months in the country. But in addition to that, they continue to focus on upgrading the software for their existing models. The company has been working on Realme UI 2.0 version for quite some time and now it has started pushing it for older models with the Android 11 update. The new version of UI promises a cleaner interface with less bloatware and an improved focus on the security and privacy of users. Realme already confirmed that the Realme 5 and Realme 5s phones from its lineup will not get the Android 11 update.

Xiaomi Android 11 update
Xiaomi is another contender to consistently push new Android update for older devices in the market. Having said that, the list of devices that have got Android 11 update so far is a short one. You have the mid-range Mi 10i that launched early this year. Then you have the popular Redmi Note 9 and Redmi 9 devices. The majority of its devices have started coming with the Android 11-based MIUI version since the start of 2021. And the remaining Redmi Note and Redmi phones will be getting their share later this year.
- Xiaomi Mi 10i – MIUI 12 built over Android 11 came out in May 2021 along with the April 2021 security patch for users in India.

Nokia Android 11 update
HMD Global came out with Android One-powered Nokia phones and assured everyone they will get the latest Android updates. While the story panned out in that fashion for a few years, the situation seems to have changed. Going into mid-2021 we are yet to see a major chunk of Nokia phones get Android 11 update. In May 2021, HMD Global released an updated Android 11 roadmap. Here are some of the Nokia phones that have got Android 11 updates and phones that are expected to get it based on the new roadmap.
- Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 8.1 – These two phones got their update in April this year.

- Nokia 8.3 5G (Q1 2021)
- Nokia 3.4
- Nokia 5.3
- Nokia 5.4 (Q2 2021)
- Nokia 1.3, Nokia 1.4 (Q2 2021)
- Nokia 1 Plus (Q2 2021)
- Nokia 6.2 (Q3 2021)
- Nokia 7.2 (Q3 2021)
- Nokia 9 PureView (Q3 2021)
Vivo Android 11 update
Vivo is the last of the BBK-owned brands to commit to the Android 11 update timeline. The performance of the company has been a mixed bag so far. While a majority of mid-range phones have received the Android 11 update, the affordable ones are yet to join the ranks. Here are a list of Vivo phones in India that have received/expected to receive the Android 11 update.
- Vivo S1, S1 Pro
- Vivo Z1 Pro
- Vivo Z1 Pro, Z1x
- Vivo Y11
- Vivo V15
- Vivo V15 Pro
- Vivo V17, V17 Pro
- Vivo V19
- Vivo V20 Pro
- Vivo X50
Google Android 11 update
Google is probably the only other brand after Apple to regularly offer new software updates for most of its devices. The Pixel series started many years back, and in 2020 we got the Pixel 5 devices. But apart from the original Pixel phones, all the other models have already got Android 11 updates.
- Google Pixel 2
- Pixel 2 XL
- Pixel 3
- Pixel 3 XL
- Pixel 3a
- Pixel 4
- Pixel 4a
- Pixel 4a 5G
- Pixel 5
POCO Android 11 update
POCO is another brand that has been slow with its software updates. The brand went independent last year, and that seems to have affected its business on all fronts. Granted, POCO has few devices in its lineup but even then the status of its existing devices needs a quick follow-up.
- POCO X2 – This device got the Android 11 update in January 2021.
- POCO F2 Pro
- POCO X3 NFC
- POCO X3 India version
ASUS Android 11 update
Asus has been notoriously slow with its software updates over the years. And the trend continues with its older devices. Even the popular ROG Phones are yet to receive Android 11 update. The only existing model that has got it till date is the ZenFone 6z which as you might recall is pretty old.
- ASUS ZenFone 6 series
- ASUS ZenFone 7 series
- ASUS ROG Phone 3
So, as you can see from the list above, the distribution of Android 11 among existing devices is still heavily in favour of few brands. You have the likes of Google, OPPO, and Samsung offering Android 11 updates to most of its devices available in the country. Then you have brands like OnePlus that have done a decent job meeting its Android 11 update promise. While you have brands like Xiaomi, Poco, ASUS, and a few more that are yet to fulfill their timelines.
But the most disappointing entry out of all this goes to Nokia. This company has heavily marketed being a pure Android device, offering fast updates. But the truth is, most of its devices from 2020 are yet to get the Android 11 update.
We will keep updating the list as and when more devices get Android 11 update in the country.
