Galaxy Z Fold 4 gets new One UI 5.0 beta update, inches closer to final release

Firmware

Samsung has released the stable Android 13 and One UI 5.0 update for two of its flagship lineups, and the company is expected to do the same for a handful of other devices before the end of this month. That includes the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which has now taken a step closer to the final One UI 5.0 software with the release of another beta update in China, India, and some European markets.

While the release notes for the beta update in China and the rest of the world is a little different, one thing they have in common is that the changelog is pretty small, which is why we think this could be the last beta update before the public rollout begins. As usual, though, the rollout will be gradual so it's possible users in some countries will have to until December for their taste of One UI 5.0 on the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

The firmware version for the newest Z Fold 4 One UI 5 beta ends in ZVK3 for India and ZVK1 for China, and it should be a 500 MB download or so. The process for grabbing the new update is the same as always – just head to your phone's Settings » Software update menu, and tap Download and install.

The Z Fold 4 gets pretty much the same new features as the Galaxy S22 series with Android 13/One UI 5.0, and the video below goes through all of them, so be sure to hit the play button (especially if you haven't been able to test Android 13 in beta because it's not available in your country).
