After a lot of speculation and various online leaks, Samsung has announced that it has opened its OneUI 5 Beta program for Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphone users. This means that the Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra users can now experience the upcoming One UI 5.0 by participating in the beta program. The new UI from Samsung is based on Android 12 and it brings new customisations, accessibility and security features to Samsung smartphones.
Here’s what the new Samsung One UI 5.0 will offer:
Customised look and feel
With One UI 5.0 users will be able to customise their smartphone experience, including an expanded set of color options for a more tailored look. The new UI allows users to get up to 16 preset color themes based on their wallpaper and 12 more color options for their home screens, icons and quick panels for a look and feel suited to their style. Along with this, users can also customise their home screens by stacking widgets of the same size on a single location.

Improved language and sound settings
Samsung has tried to streamline the process to change the sound and vibration settings with One UI 5.0. The new UI offers reorganized menus that provide easy access to all ringtone volumes and vibration intensities. For the first time, Galaxy users can also tailor their preferred language for their different apps.
Additional new features
The update brings several other new features for a better user experience. Users can more seamlessly capture high-quality photos and video with a new icon in Pro and Pro Video mode that offers useful tips and tricks on how to use the various lenses, features and controls. Plus, a more responsive zoom bar means quicker close-ups and makes it easier to zero in on the subject using only one hand.
With One UI 5, a new dashboard lets users view the security status of their phone, shows whether there are security issues and recommends ways to fix them.
How to join the One UI 5.0 beta program
Presently, the One UI 5.0 beta program is available for the users of Galaxy S22 series smartphones in the US, Germany and South Korea. The company is expected to release the same in other regions in coming months.
