The beta version of One UI 5.0 based on Android 13 was previously launched in several selected markets, and after a few weeks of testing, Samsung revealed some new news about this new system during SDC22 (Samsung Developer Conference), confirming that the system will soon leave the beta phase and be launched to the general public.
The new One UI 5.0 update will bring a variety of new features and changes, including but not limited to: more lock screen customization, expanded color palette functionality, improved permission notification customization options, a slightly redesigned quick toggle area, better animations, Stacked Widgets, and call background effects for individual contacts.
Samsung has released four One UI 5.0 beta updates for the Galaxy S22 series in some markets, and it’s unclear if the fourth beta will be the last, and the exact date when the update will leave the beta phase is still unknown. But at the SDC conference, Samsung confirmed that the One UI 5.0 update is scheduled to leave beta later this month and officially roll out for the Galaxy S22. It’s almost mid-October now, so there’s no need to wait too long, and it’s speculated that the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 should also receive the One UI 5.0 update this year.
