EXCLUSIVE: Samsung working on a new One UI 4.0 (Android 12) build, including Google patch

A couple of weeks after beginning the One UI 4 Beta program for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, Samsung released the stable Android 12 update for these devices. However, the company did everything in the rush that eventually proved its decision wrong as the stable rollout is suspended for all Galaxy phones.
While Samsung had already halted the stable Android 12 update rollout for the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, a community moderator confirmed that a new One UI 4.0 software is under preparation, which includes a patch from Google as well.

According to the information disclosed by the community moderator, Samsung had found compatibility issues with the Google Play system on some Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 devices, therefore, the One UI 4.0 update has been halted until the issues get fixed.
What’s inside the statement:
After the One UI 4 update, a problem was found due to compatibility issues with the Google Play system on some devices, so the One UI 4 update has been put on hold for a while.
We are currently taking action after analyzing the content with Google.
We plan to redistribute the One UI 4 update after securing the stability of the device and completely solving consumer inconvenience and errors.
We are currently preparing a revised version of the software, including a Google patch that improves compatibility issues, and testing is in progress.
We will do our best so that stable software can be distributed by completing it as quickly as possible.
Adding to this, the official confirmed that Samsung One UI staff is rapidly working and analyzing the content with Google as part of fixing the issues. In addition, it’s scheduled that the distribution of the new One UI 4.0 update will begin after securing the stability of the device.
Last but not least, the Korean tech giant is working on the development of a revised One UI 4.0 software, based on Android 12 OS, which also includes a Google patch. This patch from Google reportedly improves compatibility issues on Galaxy devices, however, the testing is under development.
- We can expect, the new One UI 4.0 Official version will be rolled out alongside the January 2022 security patch.
One UI 4 Features:
- Samsung’s Android 12 update comes with tons of new features such as a redesigned user interface with revamped icons and Material You theming system.
- In addition, the One UI 4.0 enhances all of the stock apps, adds more lock screen widgets, quick settings toggles to turn off the camera and mic access and more.
