One UI 5 has been in the talks lately. While the stable release is still a few months away, the beta testing started some weeks back. The Galaxy S20 was one of the first devices to test the beta stages of development of the One UI 5. However, the testing has been done only by the insiders until now. This device’s beta firmware has not yet been available to the public.

One UI 5 Beta is coming to the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra.
The wait is almost over now. Samsung has officially announced (Via Twitter user Aman Tiwari) that the users of the Galaxy S20 series will soon be able to test the One UI 5 Android 13 beta firmware. Users in South Korea will be the first to get to do so. Nationwide registrations are now open for the same there.
However, there is a catch. In its Members post for the Galaxy S20 users in Korea, Samsung announced that Galaxy S20 BTS Edition users would not have access to the beta builds of One UI 5 (Android 13), unfortunately. It’s still not clear why the company has made this decision. There are millions of BTS fans worldwide, and there is no doubt that many of them would like to try out the latest builds of the One UI 5 beta.
Apart from this, in its Member’s post, Samsung has also alerted users of the potential risks of testing pre-release firmware on their phones. This includes encountering major bugs, facing various instabilities throughout the system, and even losing personal data stored on the device. Note that any device used to test a pre-release firmware is prone to these dangers, irrespective of the company.
All users willing to take the risk can register for the beta testing. Hopefully, the registrations will soon be available worldwide. So, stay tuned to get updates regarding the same.
