The post also suggests that the new update will allow users to choose from up to 16 colour themes based on the wallpaper. Samsung has also cautioned the users updating their smartphones to backup their data before proceeding, as per the screenshots. Since, the user interface is still in beta, certain features may not be functional in some regions.

Additionally, tipster SuperRoader (@RoderSuper) has shared via Twitter that the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 stable version will be rolled out to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphones on either October 17 or October 19. The tip is in line with a report from June this year, which also mentioned that the stable version of the One UI 5.0 will be rolled out in October to all eligible Galaxy phones.

Earlier this month, Samsung had started rolling out the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 beta in Germany.
