A leaker has previously claimed that Samsung intended to unveil One UI 4.0 at the start of the summer period. This is the next version of the manufacturer’s user interface, which will obviously be based on Android 12, the latest version of the OS from Google.
This information came to us from the IceUniverse insider, renowned for its very often proven revelations. In addition, the leaker Max Weinbach announced at the end of June 2021 that Samsung teams are already working on the Android 12 update of One UI. In other words, everything suggested that the presentation of OneUI beta version was imminent.
Finally, the South Korean firm has not announced an official release date, but still specified that a beta would indeed arrive in September 2021. More specifically, the manufacturer has confirmed the opening of the beta for South Koreans users on Thursday, September 9, 2021. But obviously, something has prompted Samsung to change its plans.
