Well, it seems the big news has finally arrived for the Galaxy S21 series phone owners as Samsung has relaunched the same One UI 4 Beta banner just recently.
According to Samsung South Korea, the Android 12 Beta program is finally official for the Galaxy S21 series smartphone users. Starting today, the consumers are able to join the One UI 4 Beta testing activity through the Samsung Members app in the country.
