While Google has already launched the Android 12 beta program, it would be a while till Samsung users get to experience the latest version of the OS. This is due to the company conducting its own beta program, but a new report suggests that the roll out for the update might be earlier than expected.
The Android 12 update would arrive along with the South Korean tech giant’s One UI 4.0. This would also mark a major upgrade for the company’s custom Android skin. Earlier this week, SamMobile reported that the brand is already began working on the Android 12 update for the Galaxy S21 series. Notably, this means that the work on the update began about a month earlier than the Android 11 update for the Galaxy S20 lineup last year.
Notably, a revamp of the brand’s custom skin only arrives with a major upgrade of the One UI. The One UI 2.0 and 3.0 brought in major changes, while minor changes is set to arrive with the Android 11 based One UI 3.5 for foldable smartphones in August 2021. So, we can expect the One UI 4.0 to bring some major changes as well. While the beta program might arrive earlier than last year, it would still only go live around October of this year. Meanwhile, the update could likely be released for the public by the end of this year, in December, or possibly early next year.
