Disney jumps on foldables with Galaxy Z Flip 3 Marvel / Star Wars Editions

Samsung announced a couple of Disney-themed accessories for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 last month, and it turns out that those accessories were a part of more comprehensive Special Edition packages that are now available for purchase in Singapore. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Marvel Edition and Star Wars Edition are offered online exclusively through Shopee.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Marvel Edition and Star Wars Edition are worth $1,522 each, but Shopee is offering them in exchange for $1,298. Early adopters also had the opportunity to drop the price further down to $1,111.

What’s included in the Marvel Edition and Star Wars Edition Galaxy Z Flip 3?

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Marvel Edition and Star Wars Edition are similar in that they both include the 128GB foldable phone, a Silicone Cover with Strap, and a Marvel / Star Wars themed lanyard strap. The device is also accompanied by a Shopee power bank, which should help users alleviate one of the biggest concerns regarding the Galaxy Z Flip 3’s performance: battery life.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Marvel Edition and Star Wars Edition are available in different colors and have a shipping timeframe of roughly two weeks. There’s no word on whether these editions will be sold outside of Singapore, but we’ll keep you posted if we find out more. Until then, you can check our Galaxy Z Flip 3 review and our hands-on video below if you’re looking for more information on what it’s like living with this device.

Galaxy S21 Android 12 firmware now available to download

Samsung released the stable One UI 4.0 update to the Galaxy S21 today. However, not everyone will get the update immediately. As usual, the company will release the update in a phased manner. If you are feeling impatient, and want the update on your device right away, you can download the latest firmware from our database.

The Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra comes with firmware version G99xBXXU3BUK8. You can now download this firmware file from our firmware database and flash it manually on your Galaxy S21 series smartphone. Do not forget to back up your data before flashing the new firmware.

The update has only been released for unlocked international variants of the smartphones, which means that if you have a carrier-locked or unlocked variant of the smartphone, you can’t install this firmware on your device. Hopefully, Samsung will release the update for the locked variants of the smartphones over the next few weeks.

Firmware builds for other parts of the world will be live soon on our website, so you should check back in a while if you can’t find a compatible image that is matching your particular device and your country just yet.

The One UI 4.0 update brings all the goodness of Android 12 along with a revamped UI design and improved stock apps. The update includes Material You-inspired color themes as well as improved privacy and security. Samsung has implemented a new widget picker UI, improved widget design, quick setting toggles to cut off camera and microphone, and a lot more.

One UI 4.0 will be Samsung’s ninth One UI upgrade. As expected, some Galaxy phones and tablets will be eligible for this future Android 12-based firmware update, while others will be left behind. For some devices, Android 12 will be the last major firmware update.

Please note that the list isn’t final and could change in the future. We will keep it updated in the coming months as we get closer to the final release of Android 12 and One UI 4.0.

Update: Samsung has now released the One UI 4.0 Android 12 update for everyone. The Galaxy S21 series is getting it first. Other eligible devices will get it in the coming weeks.

Surprise update brings Watch 4 features to older Galaxy smartwatches

Galaxy S21 owners aren’t the only Samsung customers who can enjoy new software features starting today. Along with the first public One UI 4.0 update for the Galaxy S21 series, today Samsung’s releasing new firmware for a handful of its smartwatches. It adds almost a dozen new watch faces and improvements to Fall Detection.

Samsung’s making the update available for the Galaxy Watch and Watch 3, as well as the Galaxy Watch Active and its sequel. It includes ten new watch faces that debuted with the Galaxy Watch 4, some of which offer deep customization options.

On the more practical side, the update borrows from the Galaxy Watch 4 in the way of adding advanced Fall Detection with more sensitivity levels and the option to enable detection when the wearer is standing still.

The update is live for you today if you meet these criteria

Samsung makes it clear that availability may differ by market and operator, but the plan is to release the update for the Bluetooth versions of the Galaxy Watch, Watch 3, Watch Active, and Watch Active 2 first. This phase begins today in the USA and Korea. The Bluetooth versions in other markets, along with the LTE variants everywhere, should receive the same update shortly after.

Of course, advanced Fall Detection will be coming to smartwatch models that already have the Fall Detection feature, meaning the Galaxy Watch Active 2, the Watch 3. Samsung left out the Galaxy Watch and Watch Active for obvious reasons. But luckily, fans who rock these models can look forward to the ten new watch faces included with the update.

Customers in the USA and Korea can check for the update today via the Wearable app on their connected smartphone. Join us on our social media networks and you won’t miss out on future updates.

Here’s how you can install the One UI 4.0 Android 12 update on Galaxy S21

The One UI 4.0 beta program for the Galaxy S21 series has ended after a couple of months of testing in select markets, and the first public build is now rolling out worldwide. The Android 12-based firmware is packed full of UI tweaks, privacy improvements, and other enhancements, all of which can now be experienced by Galaxy S21 owners exclusively.

Samsung will release the update to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks and months. For now, the Galaxy S21 has the privilege of being the first and only device in Samsung’s portfolio to run a stable version of One UI 4.0. So, without further ado, here’s all you need to know about installing the first public One UI 4.0 build on the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and/or Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Download and install One UI 4.0 on the Galaxy S21 series

One UI 4.0 is officially rolling out worldwide, but even though Samsung began seeding the update today, it will take a while before it reaches the Galaxy S21 series in every market.

Some regions have priority over others, and carrier variants usually receive the update after unlocked devices, though it’s not a rule. If you haven’t received the notification for One UI 4.0 yet, don’t worry. It should reach your device soon — in the coming days or possibly weeks.

Where available, One UI 4.0 can be acquired like any other firmware update for Galaxy smartphones. You can tap the update notification when it arrives or attempt to trigger the update process through the Settings app. Launch it, then access Software updates and tap Download and install. The update may or may not be waiting for you, depending on the factors mentioned above, so you’ll have to verify.

If you’re willing to put in a bit of extra work to skip the wait, there’s an alternative method of getting the update up and running on the Galaxy S21. You can download the update files from the firmware section on our website and install One UI 4.0 manually using a Windows PC. We host Samsung firmware files for a wide variety of Galaxy S21 model numbers and markets as soon as they’re available, so make sure to check back with our firmware page regularly.

BREAKING: Galaxy S21 series One UI 4.0 update now rolling out globally!

Today is a big day for fans of firmware updates and Android 12 enthusiasts, as One UI 4.0 is leaving the beta program behind to roll out live for the Galaxy S21 series worldwide.

The beta program began in mid-September for the Galaxy S21 lineup in select markets and consisted of a few waves. Samsung aimed for a 2021 release for the first public build and hinted at a November release — something it just achieved.

Of course, the anticipated Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update isn’t rolling out everywhere simultaneously, but it will gradually reach more regions in the upcoming days and weeks. So, if you are waiting for the update to arrive, be patient, and sooner or later, you’ll get that notification. We also host the files on our website, so feel free to check our firmware section regularly.

For now, One UI 4.0 is available only for the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but this exclusivity won’t last for long. Dozens of other Galaxy smartphones and tablets that are eligible for the update will follow, but it’s going to be a relatively lengthy process. Some devices will get priority over others, and no concrete roadmap exists yet. We will keep you up to speed as soon as we find out more.

A quick overview of some of the most interesting One UI 4.0 features

We had discussed all the new changes and features in One UI 4.0, big and small, shortly after the first beta build went live, and we counted over 60. Likewise, we covered our top 5 features in One UI 4.0, so make sure to check our videos below if you’re looking for a quick overview of the new firmware while you wait for your Galaxy S21 to update.

One UI 4.0 is based on Android 12, which means it borrows a few fundamental ideas from Google’s latest update. The new Color Theme option takes from Material You and opens up new personalization options, but there are numerous other changes and refinements throughout the UI.

Samsung added new privacy and security features that give users more control over app privileges, and all the settings and controls are now neatly organized in a new privacy dashboard.

Let us know if you got the update, and feel free to tell us more about your favorite One UI 4.0 features in the comment section below and our social media channels.

Samsung’s secret chipset plan for 2022 devices leaked

With no Samsung flagship devices left for the year, all eyes are now on the 2022 lineup. It’s going to be another busy year for Samsung with dozens of new smartphone and tablet launches. New foldables will also be in the mix.

Chipsets are an essential component of every device. Samsung does make its own chipsets but it also sources them from other manufacturers. A new report today brings us a purportedly leaked Samsung chipset plan for its 2022 devices.

What chipsets is Samsung using for its 2022 devices?

Samsung is reportedly going to launch 64 models of smartphones and tablets in 2022. Qualcomm’s chipsets are expected to be used in 31 of those models. The next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 processor will be used for the Galaxy S22 series. It’s believed that the Galaxy S22 FE will utilize the Exynos 2200.

In some markets, the Galaxy S22 series will also ship with Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 processor. The new Exynos chipset that Samsung is developing with AMD is reportedly going to be used in 20 models. MediaTek chipsets will be used for 14 models while 3 will feature a UNISOC processor.

Samsung has only used Qualcomm chipsets for its foldable smartphones so far and that’s likely not changing next year. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are both expected to come with the Snapdragon 898.

The company’s own Exynos chipsets will be used in most of its low-end and mid-range Galaxy M and Galaxy A handsets. Only a few from this lineup will get MediaTek processors. The Galaxy Tab S8 series is expected to use Samsung’s Exynos 2200 chipset as well.

With supplies still remaining an issue in the semiconductor market, the plans could change as we go into the new year. It’s all within the realm of possibility right now, though.
