Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is around the corner where the company will launch its new foldable phones, smartwatches, and more. Ahead of the event, Samsung has started sending out the testing information of One UI 5/One UI 4.1.1 to the Galaxy S21 smartphone users in the UK.
The Reddit user (matthewreiter73) has shared this information, if we look at Samsung’s build number on the image mentioned below, it is not clear whether this new testing is on Android 13-based One UI 5.0 beta/stable or Android 12-based One UI 4.1.1.
