    A few weeks ago, Samsung released the first beta version of the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update to the Galaxy S22 series in South Korea, Germany, and the US. However, the company didn't release the update in other markets, including China and India, where the company usually releases its new update updates.

    It is now being reported that Samsung might delay the One UI 5.0 beta update release in other markets, including China and India. The information first appeared in the Samsung Community forum. The update is expected to be released sometime around August 25, 2022.

    Samsung One UI 5.0 Icon Design Change

    The South Korean firm is reportedly making some cosmetic changes to One UI 5.0 with the upcoming beta update. According to a tweet from tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), Samsung has tweaked the design of its stock app icons, including Phone, Camera, Contacts, and Messages. The company is using different color hues and slightly rounded design elements.

    With its future beta releases, Samsung could keep tweaking UI design and add some new features to One UI 5.0. The final version of the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update is expected to be released to some high-end Galaxy smartphones by the end of October 2022. We hope that the company brings Material You-themed design to its icons in the future.

    Some people think that Samsung didn't do as much as it could with One UI 5.0's design. What do you think of the new update? Let us know in the comments section below.
