After the initial rollout began on Friday, Samsung today officially detailed the launch of its One UI 5 Open Beta Program and Android 13 for the Galaxy S22 series. .

We’ve already seen the One UI 5 beta changelog, but it’s interesting to see what Samsung is choosing to highlight and how it compares to Google’s Android 13 Beta Program on the Pixel:.

All you have to do is drag one homescreen object on top of another with access remaining a horizontal swipe. Google would be wise to add this capability to Pixel phones and make it part of Android, just like iOS.

On the notification front, Samsung is highlighting “new controls [that] make it easier for users to block notifications from certain apps.” .

Samsung showed off a combined “Security and privacy” page that Google previewed at I/O 2022 in May, but is not yet live on the Pixel as of Beta 4.1 last month.

The update also brings more accessibility options to make it easier for users to interact with their devices

Samsung said today that the One UI 5 beta program will initially be available in the US, Germany, and South Korea, with “other regions planned over the coming months.” This should cover China, India, Poland, and the United Kingdom
