Last month, Samsung rolled out the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update to the Galaxy S22 series. It also promised to deliver the latest version of One UI to older models in the following months. as it said, the South Korean tech giant has already started pushing One UI 5.0 to the Galaxy S21 series, including the S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra.

The One UI 5.0 update is currently being pushed out to the S21 series in a number of European countries, including the UK and Germany. It comes with firmware version number G99xBXXU5DVJC and of course brings some new features, improvements and bug fixes.

One UI 5.0 offers visual design modifications, many customization options, a new widget experience on the home screen, multitasking improvements, camera improvements including the ability to easily zoom with one hand, and much more.
