Credit should be given where it is due. For a very long time, Samsung users waited in disbelief as other manufacturers did a better job of pushing out updates. It took Samsung phones unnecessarily long to get the same updates.
The large number of phones sold by the company did not help. Neither did the technical carrier and region details that delayed the updates. In the end, despite buying the best Samsung phones, users had to wait far too long to get an update.
We’ve already pointed out how Samsung completely turned the tables in just a few years. Samsung users have gone from being the envy of others to finding themselves in an enviable position. This shows how committed Samsung is now to improving the update experience for its customers.
Android 12 One UI 4.0 is the latest update for compatible Samsung devices. The company started with the update. The Galaxy S21 series was the first to get the public version of Android 12 One UI 4.0 in November 2021. Samsung released it a month earlier when the first stable Android 11 update was released for the series Galaxy S20 in December 2020.
It was a promising start. Samsung finished with the One UI 4.0 beta program in about two months. The company was then ready to start rolling out the stable update to users around the world. As you’d expect, the release of the update was warmly received.
There is a whole list of Samsung devices that are compatible with Android 12. It was expected that Samsung would gradually work its way up this list. Once the Galaxy S21 line gets the update, the other devices will eventually get Android 12 One UI 4.0 as well in the coming months.
Samsung doesn’t seem to be in the mood to keep customers waiting. Just two weeks after getting the Galaxy S21 series, the Android 12 One UI 4.0 update was also released for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3.
Both foldables are also getting the update in more markets. Today is a particularly great day for fans who have been waiting for a taste of One UI 4.0. Samsung has started rolling out Android 12 One UI 4.0 for the Galaxy S10, Galaxy Z Flip, and Galaxy Tab S7/S7+ now.
It’s an unprecedented pace we’re seeing from Samsung. No wonder Samsung has completely put Chinese smartphone makers, its biggest competitors, to shame with its rollout of Android 12. Fans are happy to be able to experience the latest software on their device before the end of the year.
If this pace is any indication, we can expect many more devices to receive their One UI 4.0 update in the coming days. Next month, we might see the update arrive for more Galaxy Note and Galaxy S series devices. The original Galaxy Fold is also in the game. Dozens of Galaxy A and Galaxy M devices will also be updated.
They have reason to be excited about this update. We have already explained why Android 12 is very special for Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Android 12 brings powerful new privacy features as well as performance improvements.
One UI 4.0 introduces enhanced customization features and even includes support for Material You themes. Additional features include smart widget recommendations, a revamped Camera app UI, system-wide navigation improvements and more.
Samsung is wasting no time in releasing this update to as many people as possible. It is undoubtedly a great New Year 2022 gift for the more than 100 million people who use Samsung devices compatible with Android 12. They can rest assured that it is only a matter of time before the release. update arrives on their device.
