Samsung introduced the Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1 OS alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 last week. This custom OS is specially designed for foldable phones, however, select regular Galaxy phones will get it too.
Recently, a new test firmware has been spotted on the Checkfirm app that reveals Samsung Galaxy A52s is testing the One UI 4.1.1 update internally. It’s an indication that a whole new custom OS with a bunch of new features is coming soon to this famous mid-range phone very soon.
According to the information by a Reddit user, this Samsung Galaxy A52s One UI 4.1.1 test firmware holds the build version A528BXXU1DVH2. However, there is no other information on the matter other than this, the customer nor shared the region where the update is being tested.
Earlier, the same smartphone was also spotted testing the major Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update. It looks like two big One UI updates are being prepared for the device that will be released one after the other. Obviously, One UI 4.1.1 will be the first.
The Galaxy A52s was launched last year. It entered the markets with Android 11-based One UI 3.x. Later in the same year, it grabbed the first major update as Android 12-based One UI 4.0 and then received One UI 4.1 this year.
The Android 13-based One UI 5 will be its second major OS while the Android 14-based One UI 6 will be the last. However, only three Android updates are not enough for such a powerful device, like this year’s A series phone, the Galaxy A52s should also support 4 Android upgrades.
One UI 4.1.1 introduces a major feature called Taskbar to make multitasking easier for foldable devices. Recently, it’s been reported that older Galaxy phones will also get the Taskbar feature with the One UI 4.1.1 update.
