Samsung One UI 5.0 (Android 13) – Beta/Stable, Bugs/Issues, Release Date, Eligible Devices, Features
Google officially released the Stable version of the Android 13 operating system on August 15. On the other hand, Samsung has begun its One UI 5.0 update adoption process for flagship Galaxy devices to offer them the new Android 13 OS.
In early August, the South Korean tech giant started the One UI 5.0 Beta testing program for the Galaxy S22 series. Therefore, we can expect the stable Android 13 update for Samsung Galaxy smartphones could be available earlier than the last year.
