Breaking: Samsung One UI 4 (Android 12) release delayed, internal name (SOS) revealed

Google has finally announced the twelfth major generation of its Android operating system and it’s now Samsung’s turn to introduce its Android 12-based One UI version for Galaxy devices. If the history is any indication, the next version will be called One UI 4.0.

According to the latest leak (via IceUniverse), the expected early One UI 4.0 Beta announcement will be postponed. At the same time, the company could take a bit longer to start its Android 12 and One UI 4.0 (Beta) rollout for the Galaxy devices.

SOS is One UI 4?

Aside from the rollout suspension, the same source further revealed that the One UI 4 is internally named SOS. However, the Android 12’s codename is Snow Cake, the internal code name SOS for One UI 4 makes sense, meanwhile, we can’t say anymore regarding the company’s naming strategy.
