The Android 12 beta is in full swing for certain Samsung devices. Here’s how you can sign up for the beta, and which devices can take advantage.<\/b>
\nAndroid 12 brings a lot of exciting features to the OS, even in Samsung Galaxy devices. With the beta release of One UI 4, Samsung devices are able to take advantage of new color-theming options and privacy features. Fortunately, Samsung is making the beta available to a few select devices before Android 12 is completely released. In One UI 4\u2019s current beta state, Samsung is only allowing for a few devices to take advantage of the unfinished upgrade. The One UI 4 beta program is available for the following devices: Additionally, the Android 12 beta is only available in these regions, depending on the device. Even though the Galaxy S21 series is eligible, the beta is closed as of late October to users who haven\u2019t already signed up. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 on the other hand are still in open beta, allowing for anyone with those devices who wants to test Android 12 able to do so. It\u2019s also worth noting that in most cases, only unlocked devices will be eligible for the upgrade, with the exception being to carrier models sold by Sprint\/T-Mobile. For those who live in the UK, the process of signing up for and installing the Android 12 beta is the exact same as with the other Galaxy devices listed above. It is worth mentioning that at a certain point, some of the devices mentioned will not allow new signups for the beta. As we head into 2022, these devices will start to receive the stable release of Android 12 and leave the beta for good. Typically, these signups seem to close within about a month of release. Every new update of One UI looks a little more promising when it comes to giving everything Android 12 has to offer. Most notably, One UI 4 adds \u201cColor Theme\u201d, much like Android 12\u2019s Dynamic Color feature on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Some more notable features added to the list are improved video calling effects, allowing you to change the background to a blur or even change it to a specific color\/image, as well as an improved system weather app and the stable AOSP code, which is also present on Pixel phones. Possibly the most important feature for many is the ability to decide between allowing an app to use your precise location, or only allowing it to know the general area. As far as privacy is concerned, this is a huge feature. For more on what\u2019s new, check out our continued coverage below and on YouTube. Check out 9to5Google on YouTube for more news:<\/p>\n
