February 2022’s first week concluded, and I’m here with the ups and downs that kept the OEM industry busy. While it has been majorly Samsung, Xiaomi also has its considerable share. Dedicate your time to reading the information below but before I get into the detail, let’s have a quick look at the devices that I’ll talk about:

Android 12 Based One UI 4.0 is Live for Samsung Z Flip 5G

If you remember, last week, we talked about the unlocked variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4G in the US getting the Android 12 based firmware. This time around, the 5G variant gets its share but a bit differently. 

The update is currently rolling out for both locked and unlocked variants. Talking a bit more about the firmware, one for the unlocked devices comes with version number F707U1UEU2EUL9 while F707USQS2EUL9 for the network locked variants. The builds come with Android 12 goodies alongside One UI 4.0 features. Apart from that, the users will also get the December 2021 Android security patch; now that’s a bit disappointing considering the Feb version is already up and running.

Are you a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G user from the US and still waiting for Android 12 to make a way into your device? Well, in that case, you should perform a manual check. Here is how:

  • From your home screen, launch the Settings menu
  • Scroll your way down ook for the Software Update option

Canada Based Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Galaxy Z Flip 4G Gets One UI 4.0

Soon after the locked and unlocked variants of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, 5G in the US got introduced to Android 12, the 4G and 5G builds in Canada started updating to One UI 4.0. Featuring the version number F700WVLU4FULA, the new firmware is exclusive for the devices locked to Bell Mobile, Tellus, Rogers, and Videotron’s network. At the same time, the unlocked variants pack F707WVLU2EUL9 as the build number. 

As usual, you’ll find all the Android 12 goodies and the One UI 4.0 elements. The security patch also sees an upgrade, but sadly, it is only limited to the December variant.
