After South Korea and Germany, Samsung finally launched the long-awaited OneUI 5 beta in the US. This is amusing as this beta, based on Android 13, was released before the release of the Android 13 source code. Over the past few days, the Korean tech giant has been teasing the OneUI 5 beta launch through the “One UI Value Up Challenge.”

The beta is only available on unlocked Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphones with Exynos processors. Currently, not every US carrier is letting users download this beta. In a recent report, the 9to5Google team mentioned that they could only install the beta after switching to a T-Mobile SIM card.
