Galaxy Z Fold 3 gets stable Android 13 update, but limited to beta testers for now

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 started getting the stable Android 13 update yesterday in South Korea. After releasing the fifth One UI 5.0 beta update to the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 last week, Samsung has released the stable Android 13 update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but the update is currently limited to One UI 5.0 beta testers.

The stable Android 13 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 comes with firmware version F926BXXU2DVK3. This update has been released in India, and more countries could get the update within the next few days. While One UI 5.0 beta testers are getting a 307.56MB update, other Galaxy Z Fold 3 users will get an update that's as big as 2GB in download size. The new update also brings the November 2022 security patch to the foldable phone.

If you are a Galaxy Z Fold 3 user in India who registered their foldable device to beta-test One UI 5.0, you can now download the stable update by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping Download and install. We expect the stable update to be released to all Galaxy Z Fold 3 users starting next week.

Samsung claimed a few weeks ago that it will release the stable Android 13 update to all its high-end smartphones and most newer mid-range devices by the end of 2022. The Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy A52, Galaxy A53 5G, Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy M32 5G, Galaxy M52 5G, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 have received the update in a few countries already.
