Today, we are kicking off the month of August and the beta is nowhere to be found. Reportedly, the South Korean manufacturer was hoping to release the stable version of One UI 5.0 (and Android 13) by October but the current delay might force the manufacturer to drop the new software in November or later.

So what is holding up the start of the beta program? One theory is that Samsung sees Google still tweaking the Android 13 beta and is waiting for Google to finish up. Recently the unscheduled Android 13 beta 4.1 update was released to take care of a couple of bugs. Samsung would most likely want to debut the One UI 5.0 beta program before the next Unpacked event which will include the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip, and the Galaxy Watch 5 series.
