Samsung’s One UI 5 beta program is in full swing – the Galaxy S22, S22 + and S22 Ultra units in China are receiving the fifth beta, which may also prove to be the latest before stable release.

This firmware version numbers ending with ZVJAfixes several major issues from the above: random reboots, autofocus issues that also caused poor image quality, the Galaxy Watch plug-in will no longer force quit, and more.

This beta also removed Bixby Text Call, a new feature in One UI 5 that turns a voice call into a text chat (using text-to-speech to show you what the other party is saying and text-to-speech to answer). It is unclear if it will return with the stable version, but it was one of the main new features of One UI 5.

According to some reports, the fifth beta also improved the animations, making them smoother. Again, this firmware has only been released in China for now, but it’s probably a matter of days before it gets a larger version (e.g. beta 4 has reached Germany and India). The stable version of One UI 5 for the Galaxy S22 series is scheduled for later this month.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 in South Korea, the UK and India have finally received their first One UI 5 beta. If the kind of bug that appeared on the S22 series doesn’t scare you, you can sign up for the beta test using the Samsung Members app and get a preview of Samsung’s Android 13 version and its latest custom software.

The previous Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 received their first beta last week, now the Galaxy Z Flip3 is getting the second beta in South Korea, UK and China. Presumably the Z Fold3 version will follow shortly. The stable version of One UI 5 for foldables 2021 and 2022 is expected later this year.
