Samsung Galaxy S20 and Note20 get Android 12-based One UI 4.0 beta in the US

Samsung's Android 12-based One UI 4.0 beta program went live for the Galaxy Note20 lineup in the UK last week, which is now expanded to the unlocked Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra units in the US.

Some Galaxy S20 series users had also received the One UI 4.0 beta in the US last week, but Samsung said that it was yet to kick off the beta program for the S20 lineup in the States.

Well, if you weren't one of those who got the update and want to give Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a try, you can participate in the One UI 4.0 beta program by tapping on the One UI Beta Program banner in the Samsung Members app. But do note that it's only open to the unlocked Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra units.

Once you are enrolled, you can navigate to the Settings > Software update menu on your device to download the first One UI 4.0 beta update. This procedure applies to the Galaxy Note20 series as well.

However, it's worth noting that beta firmware isn't as stable as the final builds, so it's best avoided on primary devices.
