Google has announced the latest Android 12 mobile operating system and is expected to release the stable build later this month. The first device to come running this new OS is expected to be the Pixel 6 series, set to launch in October this year.
Many smartphone manufacturers are working on releasing the Android 12 updates for their smartphones and it seems that Samsung could be among the first despite the South Korean giant being the only major Android phone manufacturer not participating in the official Android 12 Beta program.
Samsung has confirmed that the company will start testing One UI 4 Beta for three of its flagship smartphones — Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra this month, i.e. September in its home market.
The company is expected to add more devices for testing the One UI 4 based on the Android 12 operating system. As per the reports, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series smartphones may get the opportunity to enroll in beta testing in October.
Samsung has officially teased the arrival of One UI 4.0 beta based on Android 12 for the Galaxy S21 series. It’ll come with several major user interface changes, including updated icons and colors, and the Material You element of Android 12. It may also bring optimizations to Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100, as well as improvements to Samsung Knox and Samsung Notes App.
The company has been making user-friendly changes to its custom user interface and has confirmed that it will remove the advertisements from its stock applications that come pre-installed with Samsung phones. Although the company has already removed ads from the Weather app, major changes are expected to be available with One UI 4.
