Galaxy smartphones could benefit from Android 13 much earlier than usual in 2022. The beta phase is supposed to start already in July for users who want it. Of course, this also means that they will be able to test the new version of the manufacturer’s user interface, ie One UI 5.0.
Android 13 is approaching the end of the year. We can bet there is a release around the same time as the Pixel 7 around October. Samsung smartphones should take advantage of it from the end of 2022, or until the beginning of 2023 at the latest. However, the beta phase could start much earlier.
Our sources tell us that Samsung could begin the open beta testing phase of Android 13 and the accompanying One UI 5.0 update by July. This should give beta testers and the company plenty of time to polish off new firmware for the public release at the end of 2022 or early 2023 — if recent history is any indication.
Sammobile, which won’t be its first news, has indicated that the beta phase of Android 13 could start in July on Galaxy smartphones, while it usually doesn’t start until September. Of course, this is only for users who want it.
Samsung’s Galaxy phone could get Android 13 much sooner than expected
The arrival of Android 13 on Galaxy smartphones will, of course, be accompanied by the new version of the manufacturer’s overlay, One UI 5.0. As usual, beta users will have to face bugs in order to provide a stable and valid experience to the general public after a few months. It is also useful for developers to improve the compatibility of their applications.
SamMobile determines that dozens of smartphones will be eligible for this beta, so are the latest devices, such as the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. The following foldable smartphones, such as the Z Fold 4, could also be in the game. This beta version should be available worldwide but not at the same time, keeping the wave system. In parallel, Samsung will continue to develop One UI 4.1.1, but for Android 12 this time. This version of the overlay is a bit special, as it is intended for smartphones with a foldable screen.
Anyway, this beta phase that was posted earlier is good news for the developers, who will have more time to refine their version. For Samsung, this is also a guarantee that a stable and well-equipped user interface will be released when the time comes. However, for more details in this regard, keep in touch with us.
