The first public beta of One UI 5.0 was scheduled for July, but there was a small delay. It has finally arrived and has begun a gradual launch, starting with the S22 series – Galaxy S22, S22 + and S22 Ultra – in Germany. The firmware version is S90xBXXU2ZHV4.

One UI 5.0 brings the new features that are part of Android 13, as well as the work of Samsung. The user experience will be improved with smoother animations and a redesigned notification center. Optical Character Recognition is enabled in the Gallery, allowing you to copy text from screenshots. Also, some smart suggestions based on text will be displayed, for example taking a photo of a phone number or web address will allow you to call / visit with just one tap.
What’s more, here is the complete change log that appears before installation. Note that the original was in German, but we used automatic translation.

The camera app now shows a histogram in Pro mode. There’s a new zoom bar that lets you zoom in with one hand, and Food mode is telephoto enabled. A watermark feature allows you to stamp the time and date on each photo or other user-defined information.
Samsung DeX has also been improved, especially the taskbar. There is a new search button and tapping on the date will bring up a calendar widget. Notifications from apps will appear as red dots on the taskbar. Right-clicking on an app gives you quick access to selected functions. Additionally, support for physical keyboards has been improved with spelling correction and emoji input.
Finally, most of the Samsung apps have been updated: Samsung Internet, Health, Pay, Members, Galaxy Store, SmartThings and others.
The stable release of One UI 5.0 is scheduled for October, we will probably hear more about the new version next week at the Galaxy Unpacked event.
