Samsung has already released three beta versions of the One UI 4 to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S21 phones in certain markets. Now, a post on the Samsung Members forum reveals that the company is soon going to open the beta for the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 in South Korea. This means, that markets such as Germany, India, the UK, and the US should also soon be getting access to it.

Currently, Galaxy S21 series owners living in the US, South Korea, India, Germany, Poland, the UK, and China are able to join the One UI 4 beta. Here are the features the new version brings that you can test if you’re from the aforementioned markets and have access to the beta program. We have a redesign for the home screen widgets, that can now give you more information at a glance, while at the same time making your home screen look more stylish. Additionally, you will get recommendations for widgets.

The lock screen shows customized controls if you’re listening to music, and these controls depend on the music app that you’re using. Additionally, you can add a Voice Recorder widget to the lock screen, so you can record a quick voice memo without unlocking your phone.

Additionally, One UI 4 brings some new charging animations, a more consistent dark mode (icons will darken automatically), and improvements in Samsung Keyboard, a simpler layout for the Camera app, new suggestions to the search in Samsung Internet.

Recently, we reported on a new weather widget that One UI 4 brings. Samsung has called it a Dynamic Weather Widget, and it uses different background colors and animation to convey the current weather conditions. The new skin on top of Android 12 brings also bug fixes and other improvements, and the exciting thing is that it also brings the redesigned Android 12 on Samsung phones.

Android 12 is a major update, coming with its cool new looks dubbed Material You, dynamically adjustable themes and colors that match your wallpaper choice, new privacy settings and controls, and many other improvements, and it is indeed a very exciting update.
