Third One UI 4 (Android 12) beta rolls out to more Galaxy S21 owners

One UI 4 Beta sounds like it's nearing the final version.

Update, Oct 25 (11:55 a.m. ET): More users receiving third beta

What you need to know

  • Samsung is rolling out One UI 4 Beta 3 in S. Korea.
  • The update comes with a number of bug fixes and a revamped Weather app.
  • It may not be long before the 3rd beta reaches U.S. Galaxy S21 devices.

Samsung Galaxy S21 owners in South Korea are being treated to the 3rd One UI 4 beta, according to a community post on Samsung's forum.

The update appears to host a number of bug fixes that should make the beta more stable as Samsung finalizes its software. Notable, the changelog states that the update is based on Google's final AOSP release for Android 12, meaning we could be nearing the final One UI 4 release.

There also appear to be improvements to the dynamic color theme that was introduced in the second One UI 4 beta. Additional changes include the following (via translation):

  • Fixed an issue where only some menus were partially untranslated right after the porta(ble) update
  • Google AOSP reflected (Google final release was reflected)
  • Overscroll effect changed from existing glow to stretch form (Android 12 changed)
  • Voice command in the camera Misrecognition improvement
  • Pet lighting effect applied
  • Color theme function stabilization
  • Keyboard shortcut issue fixed
  • Calling/texting on other devices fixed
  • Bixby not calling on the lock screen fixed
  • System UI forced closing issue
  • Many others Apply improvements

While not listed, one user (via SamMobile) notes that Samsung has made some changes to the Weather app, with new animations and no more ads.

One UI 4 Beta 3 comes just after Google released the stable version of Android 12 to older Pixel smartphones, bringing "Pixel-exclusive" features like Material You. Google says that Android 12 should roll out to some of the best Android phones from OEMs like Samsung later this year, and a Samsung community rep has indicated that the company is aiming to launch by December.

While the 3rd beta update appears to be rolling out in Korea, it should not take long to reach other regions where the beta is live, including the U.S. So far, only Galaxy S21 models are eligible for the beta, and none of our models appear to have the update just yet.

Update, Oct 25 (11:55 a.m. ET) ― More users receive third One UI 4 beta

After an initial rollout in South Korea, Galaxy S21 units in more regions have begun receiving the third One UI 4 beta over the weekend, as pointed out by our forums and XDA-Developers. The changelog appears to be the same, with some users also receiving the November security patch along with it.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
