Motorola One 5G Android 11 update begins rolling out in the U.S., Verizon gets it first

Motorola hopped on board the Android 11 train later than most other OEMs, however, has been steadily sending out the new OS to its devices without any hiccups.

The most recent smartphone from the company to pick up the update to Android 11 was the Motorola Moto G Stylus in the U.S.

Now it appears another smartphone from the company is getting the new Android OS. Verizon has confirmed that it has released the Android 11 update for the Motorola One 5G UW.

FYI, the UW stands for ultra-wideband, which basically means that the device supports Verizon’s mmWave spectrum for faster connectivity.

That said, this is the first time we’re seeing Android 11 rolling out for the Motorola One 5G. The update bears the software version RPN31.Q1-51-30-1 and it brings the March security patch to the device as well.

So what’s new with the update? Well, Verizon has shared a brief changelog for the update. Check it out below:
