One UI 5 Beta. A Word of Caution

[Glenntech]

The Beta program has started in the UK today.

It's available for unlocked phones only. So if you don't see the link to join, then your phone may not be eligible.

From experience of other Beta programs.

If its your main phone, I wouldn't advise joining. 

Banking Apps and other Apps similar sometimes don't work.

So be prepared for some minor bugs and App software issues.

There's always some that join a Beta testing like this expecting everything to work perfectly. Sometimes it does 

Other times not.

Where can you find this to apply for it? I don't see it in my discover section yet unfortunately and my phone is unlocked :(. Thanks

[Glenntech]

You will find it in either the discovery section

Or in notices

[teeheee]

Thanks, I don't have it yet unfortunately, maybe it's still getting distributed to other parts of UK

[Glenntech]

It's literally only started rolling out less than an hour ago I think.
So will take a bit of time.

[teeheee]

Oh I see, I didn't know this, thanks for the info ^

I am sure  a number will be pleased the Beta  has started rolling out for the S22 series (non branded unlocked)  Only had minor issues in the last Beta I took part in but this is not guaranteed and need to accept that there will be some bugs.  Generally not recommended if you do not have an additional or spare device.

[Glenntech]

Yes exactly
I carry 3 phones, so I can happily use the Beta Program
But inevitably there will be some complaints of issues with apps or services as they joined the program without fully understanding what they are getting into.
Usually don't read the warnings on joining up.

[JAMES4578]

Yes enthusiasm sometimes overrides due attention to detail.

I'm rocking 4 phones but I'm still going to wait for the stable release 😅.
Not really any new features to get excited about like with android 12, android 13 is more of a refinement on 12 so I'll just wait😊
