Samsung released the first beta version of One UI 5.0 based on Android 13 recently, for users in South Korea, Europe, and the United States. However, not all Samsung phones are eligible to test the feature.
Despite having expanded the range of devices in recent years, the South Korean brand still limits public beta versions to models of the top-of-the-line series, therefore, leaving the intermediate and basic out of the tests.
As Samsung has discontinued the Galaxy Note series, it remains to be seen whether the company will release the beta for the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. But both devices will get One UI 5.0 with Android 13 when they go public.
Eligible Samsung Phones for the One UI 5.0 Beta:
- Galaxy S20;
- Galaxy S21;
- Galaxy S22;
- Galaxy Z Fold 3;
- Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Series that may receive the beta:
- Galaxy Note 20;
- Galaxy Note 20 Ultra;
- Galaxy Z Fold 2;
- Galaxy Z Flip 5G;
- Galaxy Z Fold 4 (after launch);
- Galaxy Z Flip 4 (after launch).
Unfortunately, as already mentioned, Samsung’s mass market devices of the Galaxy A and Galaxy M series are not usually supported for the beta program. And that shouldn’t change for One UI 5.0.
However, many of the A and M line devices will also receive the Android 13 update with One UI 5.0 once the final stable version is released to the public.
