Galaxy F12, Galaxy A03 Start Receiving Stable One UI 5 Update

Anurag — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 08:51:19 +0000

Over the past few months, Samsung has continuously rolled out the latest One UI 5 update to a variety of its smartphones and tablets. The rollout should be coming to an end pretty soon; however, there are still a handful of devices that are yet to receive the Android 13-based update. In the latest development, the Korean OEM has started releasing a stable One UI 5 build for the budget Galaxy F12 and Galaxy A03. Here are the details.

Samsung has started rolling out the Android 13-based One UI 5 update to the Galaxy F12 with the firmware version F127GXXU3CVL4. The software is currently rolling out in India, which is the only country where the device is sold. The update brings the November 2022 security patch, which fixes as many as 46 security vulnerabilities. It also introduces all the new features the company packed in One UI 5.

The Galaxy A03 is also receiving the Android 13 update. The software is being seeded to the units in Serbia with firmware version A035FXXU2CVL4. Notably, the Galaxy A03 gets One UI Core 5.0 since it’s a low-end smartphone. The Core is basically a trimmed-down version of the normal build, and it has limited features to enable smooth performance. We can expect the software to extend to other regions in the coming days.

As usual, the update is being rolled out in stages, so it might take a few days to reach every unit. If you own the above-mentioned devices, keep an eye out for an OTA notification. However, sometimes the notifications don’t show up. In that case, it’s better to manually check for the update. To do so, go to Settings > Software Update > Download and install.

Stable One UI 5 Update Rolling Out to the Affordable Galaxy A04s

Anurag — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 18:26:24 +0000

Samsung has updated nearly all the devices in its portfolio to the latest version of Android at an impressive pace. Only a handful of smartphones haven’t received the update and it’s only a matter of time before they get the software treat in the form of One UI 5. The latest and probably one of the last Samsung devices to get the Android 13-based update is the budget Galaxy A04s.

Galaxy A04s is one of the cheapest Samsung-made smartphones and it was launched only a few months ago with Android 12. Now, the device has started receiving the latest Android 13 update with a firmware version labeled A047MUBU1BVK5. The update is currently being seeded in Panama, however, it should extend to other regions in the coming days.

As the A04s is a budget model, it gets the One UI Core 5.0 instead of the normal version. It’s basically the same as the regular One UI 5 with a few omissions. Basically, some of the new Android 13 features are not supported on the device because it lacks the required hardware.

The update also brings November 2022 security patch with itself. The handset is listed on Samsung’s quarterly update schedule, which means it will get the next security patch in Q1 2023.

As usual, Samsung is rolling out the latest update in a staged fashion, so it will take some time to reach every unit. If you have a Galaxy A04s and live in Panama, you can update your device to Android 13 by going to Settings, tapping on the Software update menu, and selecting Download and install.

Samsung Galaxy A73 and Galaxy A33 Picking Up Stable One UI 5 Update

Anurag — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 13:39:34 +0000

Samsung has picked up the pace with its One UI 5 update program. The firm recently released stable updates to its older flagship smartphones and even to the mid-range Galaxy A33. Now, it has begun rolling out stable One UI 5 based Android 13 build to two new mid-rangers— Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A73. The update is currently being seeded in select regions, with a wider rollout expected in a few weeks.

The stable One UI 5 update for the Galaxy A73 5G is currently being released in Malaysia with firmware version A736BXXU2BVK2. The update doesn’t bring the November 2022 security update, though. While the Android 13 update for the Galaxy A33 5G is rolling out in Europe with firmware version A336BXXU4BVJG.

The new update is reported to bring all the new features Google introduced with the latest version of Android and also some Samsung-exclusive features. However, the new software still features the October 2022 security patch and not the November 2022 security patch. It has a download size of around 2GB, so it’s better to use Wi-Fi if your carrier deal is not data heavy.

If you are a Galaxy A33 or Galaxy A73 user living in Europe or Malaysia, you can download and install the Android 13 update by going to Settings, tapping on the Software update, and selecting “Download and install.” Other regions will likely receive the update in a few days, so keep an eye out for an OTA notification.

Talking about the update itself, One UI 5 comes with a slew of changes and improvements. It has a better Material You implementation, stacked widget support, a built-in OCR feature to extract text from images, Bixby Text Call, One UI Modes, and much more. The software also introduces a new Maintenance Mode feature that will allow users to hide their data from service technicians when the device is under repair.

Samsung releases One UI 5.0 Beta 2 for Galaxy S22 smartphones

Sudhanshu — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 07:55:48 +0000

Samsung to release One UI 5.0 beta for Galaxy S22 series smartphones next month

Jeet — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 01:58:12 +0000

Samsung is working on a new version of its One UI custom user interface — Samsung One UI 5.0 which will be based on the latest Android 13 operating system. It appears that the new version of the software isn’t far away.

As per the latest report coming from SamMobile, the South Koren giant is gearing up to release the new One UI 5.0 Beta version next month for the users of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

While the company hasn’t confirmed the plans for the One UI 5.0 beta version release but the report claims that it will be released in the third week of July. It further adds that the stable version will be released a couple of months before the end of this year.

Once the update is released to the Galaxy S22 series smartphone owners, we expect the company to expand it to other premium devices from the brand, including the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3.

Samsung has been doing a pretty good job of releasing new version updates for its premium smartphones for the past couple of years. Based on that, we may get the new update for other devices from the brand by the end of this year. But it’s a good idea to wait for the official announcement from the company before getting your hopes high.

Samsung One UI 5.0 development begins: Leak

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 11:28:12 +0000

Back in May, Google announced the Android 13 Beta program and has been seeding builds for the eligible Pixel smartphones since then. Followed by this, Oppo recently revealed that it has started the development of ColorOS 13 based on the new version of Android. Now, a leak discloses that even Samsung has joined the bandwagon.

According to the Chinese tipster Ice Universe who is known for his Samsung leaks, the South Korean electronics giant has kickstarted the development of One UI 5.0 based on Android 13. The leaker also shared an image on Weibo showing a device running the upcoming software.

In the comment section, the leaker also says there will not be One UI 4.5. It’s not surprising as Samsung did not release One UI 3.5 last year either. Instead, the company rolled out One UI 3.1.1. Perhaps, we may see One UI 4.1.1 in the second half of 2022.

Unfortunately, he does not reveal anything about the new features. But he does talk about animations. As per him, there are going to be major changes in animations.

Animations on One UI are generally considered one of the worst among Android skins. Thankfully, Samsung is finally fixing it in the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 release.

What are your expectations of One UI 5.0? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Samsung Galaxy A series could also be eligible for 5 years of updates

Zohaib Ahmed — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 09:27:01 +0000

Samsung is undoubtedly killing it when it comes to software updates. The company had only last year announced 3 years of OS updates for its S and A series, but surprised everyone recently by extending it to 4 years for the latter. And as if that’s not enough, a new clue shows that the Galaxy A series could be entitled to the same as well — with 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates.

While the official US press release, which most of the global media had referred to, had omitted the A series from the improved update policy, the Samsung Netherlands site suggests otherwise.

The Dutch version of the press release says that the new update policy will also apply to “select devices in the upcoming A series.” If not some weird typo, this would be a total game-changer as almost every other OEM provides no more than merely 2 Android updates for their mid-range devices.

It remains to be seen if the upcoming Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A73 will be eligible for 5 years of updates as well. The duo isn’t the most premium from the A series and may not make the cut considering Samsung has limited the extended software support to select devices from the lineup only.

However, the A5x series has always been one of the most popular devices from Samsung, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the upgraded update policy actually ends up applicable to it as well. Still, we should be getting more clarity on the matter in the coming days, so stay tuned.
