Samsung is working hard to prepare One UI 5.0 for some of its Galaxy devices, and it has previously launched One UI 5.0 Beta for a number of flagship models, so I believe that users who are willing to take the risk have already tried to get the beta firmware.
On the other hand, users who don’t want to join or didn’t have time to sign up for the beta program haven’t had access to Android 13 yet, so they’ll probably have to wait a little longer to experience the latest changes.
According to Sammobile, Samsung will come up with stable One UI 5.0 firmware this year for at least six major series of Galaxy devices by the end of 2022, including the Galaxy S21 series, S22 series, Z Fold 3 and Z Fold 4, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Flip 4, which will receive the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 stable version based on Android 13.
In addition to flagship phones, Samsung will also bring One UI 5.0 to users of mid-range models such as the Galaxy A53 by 2023.
According to foreign media, the Galaxy A5x series is one of Samsung’s most successful mid-range products, with 2022 models released in March this year with the promise of four years of Android upgrades. The Samsung Galaxy A53 comes pre-installed with One UI 4.1 based on Android 12, and One UI 5.0 is expected to be its first major version upgrade.
Sammobile also mentioned that this is just the initial update plan, but plans always change. Of course, if more Galaxy phones will support the One UI 5.0 update this year, we’ll bring you more follow-up reports.
