Samsung has finally kickstarted One UI 4.0 Beta program based on Android 12 for the Galaxy S21 series. The initiative was first teased at the end of July. Previously, it was said to be made available in August itself. But unfortunately, that did not happen. Anyway, the company is still a month ahead of last year.
According to the official announcement, Android 12-based One UI 4.0 brings new and improved customization and privacy capabilities. Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile Communications Business, says that the company’s new software helps users create their own optimized mobile experience. Like the previous iterations of One UI, the latest version is also said to be developed with feedback from users.
The One UI 4.0 Beta program for the Galaxy S21 devices, namely Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra will be available in the following regions.
- China
- India
- Germany
- Poland
- South Korea
- UK
- US
However, it is worth noting that the release date may vary from country to country. Further, in order to enroll in the initiative, users will have to use the Samsung Members app.
Most importantly, not all features will be available in the beta builds. Also, these software builds could be buggy. Hence, the beta program is not recommended for everyone.
As far as stable release is concerned, Samsung says it will happen later this year. Since the South Korean tech giant is a month earlier this time around, the stable rollout may begin as early as November instead of December.
