Samsung is getting closer to releasing the stable One UI 4.0 update
Samsung kicked off the One UI 4.0 beta program almost a month earlier than the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 beta last year. In just about five weeks, the company has already released three beta builds to the Galaxy S21 series. The latest release is based on the final Android 12 AOSP (Android Open Source Project) Build. Meaning, we are getting closer to the public rollout of the One UI 4.0 update. Of course, the Galaxy S21 series will receive the stable update first, followed by the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3. Older Galaxy flagships such as Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 should be next in the pipeline. Overall, Samsung is said to update to more than 80 smartphones and tablets with Android 12-based One UI 4.0.
