As expected, both the vanilla Galaxy Note 10 and the larger Galaxy Note 10+ are eligible to participate in the beta. Users simply need to head over to the Samsung Members app and sign up for the program, following which they will be able to download the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update over the air from the phone’s Settings » Software update menu.
It is far too early to speculate what One UI 4.0 features will make it to the Galaxy Note 10 series. We see no reason for Samsung to skimp on any One UI 4.0 features for the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, as both phones are still competent in the current year. We did a deep dive into how the base Galaxy Note 10 holds up two years after launch and it passed with flying colors.
With the Galaxy S20 series supposedly a few days away from receiving the One UI 4.0 update in South Korea, it makes chronological sense for Samsung to focus on the next big devices that came before it. Open betas usually span between 4-6 weeks, so we can expect a stable One UI 4.0 build to hit the airwaves sometime in early January, in some markets, at least. A global rollout should ideally commence by February, at the latest.
