It was mid-August when Google officially launched Android 13. It was only for Pixel phones, but with it the go signal was given to other manufacturers to bring their respective layers of customization to Android 13. And Samsung has done its homework.
The Korean manufacturer last week confirmed the first Galaxy to receive One UI 5.0 on a stable basis. Now we know other devices they already receive the beta version and that in the coming months they will end up stably updating this version based on Android 13.
Stable for some, in beta for others
The SDC22 (Samsung Developer Conference 2022) held on October 12 allowed the company to announce that the Galaxy S22 had already received the stable version of One UI 5.0. A few days later, we see the arrival of the beta on other devices like the Note 20 and the Z Flip3. Now confirming the Beta deployment on more mobileswhich indicates that the stable version is coming for them.
The Samsungs that they already have One UI 5.0 stable Those are:
In these cases, we can say that if you have one of these mobiles and the update does not appearYou will have to wait a few more days. We insist that it was confirmed by Samsung itself, but we already know from experience that these updates are usually not released immediately to all devices worldwide.
On the other hand, it is the Samsungs which they have One UI 5.0 in beta and whose stable release is already confirmed for the coming months:
We can say that these will not be the only ones to update, since they are only the confirmed ones. We remember that Samsung already guarantees four years of updates, which in recent contacts with the brand have been able to confirm that they are applicable to terminals of any range.
What should happen, and what actually happens, is that the mid and entry ranges take a little longer to receive these updates. Europe recently proposed to impose several years of software updates and that these are released more quickly. However, it is also not endorsed, let alone a requirement. Although Samsung’s commitment should prevail in this case.
