SEOUL, Korea – September 14, 2021 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of its One UI 4 Beta Program for Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphones (Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra). One UI 4 is based on Android 12 operating system (OS) and introduces new and improved customization and privacy capabilities that give users control over many aspects of their mobile experience.
“One UI 4 helps users create their own, optimized mobile experience because Samsung recognizes that, everyone wants to meet their unique needs and preferences,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile Communications Business. “As we’ve done with every iteration of our One UI, we’ve listened to our users to understand the tools and innovations needed to create a better, more reliable, and enhanced overall user experience.”
The One UI 4 Beta Program allows users to try out One UI 4’s upgraded features ahead of its official release. Samsung Galaxy S21 series (1) owners in select markets (2) can register for the beta program via the Samsung Members app on their devices. Participants will be able to preview the One UI 4 design and new features (3) and submit feedbacks. Samsung will use the information gathered from the beta program to fine-tune the One UI 4 user experience before delivering a final, optimized upgrade later this year.
Samsung’s One UI user interface brings a unified mobile experience to Galaxy smartphones through simplified and streamlined interactions and a clean and elegant design.
One UI 4 beta participants will be able to experience comprehensive customization capabilities and privacy controls that empower them to design their ideal mobile experience — one that’s uniquely suited to their individual needs and allows them to express who they are.
With One UI 4, users get customization options at every turn. A wealth of theme options let the users adjust the look and functionality of their device, giving them tools to configure their home screens, icons, notifications, wallpapers and much more. Plus, redesigned, upgraded widgets offer deep customization — from visibility to appearance. Users also get convenient access to a more robust and diverse array of emojis all in one place, so they can effortlessly navigate their options to enjoy richer communication experiences.
1 The users of Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra can participate in the beta program.
2 The Beta Program will be available in China, India, Germany, Poland, South Korea, UK, and US. The release date can vary by each market.
3 Some of the new features might not be supported when beta program is open.

Hi @danitudi971 I am participating is the 2nd Beta and whilst encountered a few issues (mostly some battery drain) I have had a relatively smooth and interesting experience. However there are some Members with more problems , such as lags and crashing apps.
I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

Hello @JAMES4578 ,
thanks for your feedback
While using beta software unexpected hiccups may occur, but we are lucky to have Samsung Members application to send error reportings with log data files, to make sure each single issue is deeply analyzed by R&D group and provide a more and more stable software during the entire beta process.
More data from the error reportings are collected, easier to produce a stable software.
See you soon!

Fortunately, I don't 😎
I'm just surfing around the UK One UI 4 Beta boards to have a look on how the beta process is going on, since it isn't available in my country.
I thought it was interesting for you to read the Global Press Release, so I shared, and due to the opportunity you have in testing the new One UI 4, I just encouraged you all to make error reporting that are very useful for optimising the system before the official release 😎
I hope you're enjoying the beta experience!
See you soon!
