Today the One UI 3 with Android 11 OS was finally released for the Samsung Galaxy S20 family of devices. If you're using a Samsung Galaxy Note 20, there's good news for you as well – just so long as "in the coming weeks" sounds like an amount of time you're willing to wait for this same update. The Samsung One UI 3 with Android 11 OS update will begin to rollout today "in the US on Galaxy S20 series devices" per Samsung's official press release.
The Samsung One UI 3 with Android 11 OS update includes a "new, refreshed design" that'll revitalize and reinvigorate the Samsung phone experience.

This update also includes "new visual effects" for the device's user interface, including Dim and Blur.
This update includes an improved set of abilities in the Samsung Galaxy S20 standard camera app. Samsung suggests that the auto-exposure system works better, and that autofocus has been improved. The standard Gallery app has an update that allows the user to better organize categories "to quickly find photos."
This update adds the user ability to customize the "share sheet" for sharing images, videos, and documents. There's a newly redesigned set of lock screen widgets that'll allow users to view important information and control music without needing to fully unlock the device.
This update also adds "Samsung Free," which might not be particularly welcome by some users. This is "a tailored channel full of news, games, and free content from Samsung TV Plus all available with a simple right-swipe from the Home screen. Cross your fingers we'll have the option to disable this screen, or you can bet there'll be feedback.
