Summary
(AI)
The rollout has moved in stages. South Korea got the update first, around October 15. Europe followed about a week later, and a later SamMobile report says the US has now been added. The coverage describes this as Samsung widening the release region by region.
The release is gradual. GSMArena says the rollout is very likely to be staggered, and Android Central says some owners may wait a while. Not every A36 will see the update right away, even in regions where it has started. The coverage gives no date for when the rollout will finish.
