When will Samsung phones update to Android 12?

One UI 4.0 Android 12 beta is now available for the Galaxy S21 series in certain markets. Samsung is expected to release the public version of this major update before the end of this year.

If you're wondering why the beta version isn't available when Google has released Android 12 beta. That's because Samsung has its own beta program, through which they not only test the latest Android version but also the upcoming One UI version.

Samsung typically takes a few months even after public beta versions are available to release the new One UI beta. The public beta version of Android 11 One UI 3.0 was released in October last year, one month after Google released the stable version of the software and the Android 12 One UI 4.0 beta may follow a similar timeframe.

Conclusion

It can be said that Android 12 is one of the next 'revolutionary' versions of this operating system. With the outstanding features that I have mentioned above, have they somewhat helped you answer your questions? Leave a comment below!
