Now available for the Galaxy S21, Tab S6, and several A series phones and tablets
It’s not quite December yet, but that hasn’t stopped Samsung from starting to update the first of its devices with the new December 2021 security patch. Kicking things off this week are the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Fold3 running their latest One UI 4 beta.
One UI 4 beta 3 for the Flip3 and Fold3 doesn’t add any new features (via XDA Developers), but that’s to be expected when beta 2 already had feature parity with the stable release of One UI 4 that’s currently available for the S21 series. The changelog does detail several bug fixes:
- Version

Bug fixes
- Changed screen brightness to lowest on boot
- An afterimage occurs on the left side of the screen when moving to home by pressing the home button
- Routine ended due to conflicting set routine
- When the main screen is opened, it runs at 60Hz
- Separation line remains after opening in split-screen
- After using the cover screen for a certain period of time, it is stuttered when unfolded.
- No Service (U+ 5G) after the call ends
- Some apps do not vibrate when notifications occur
- Kakaotalk direct sharing not working
The number of fixes and the lack of new features may indicate that a stable release is imminent, which would be in line with the Android 12 schedule Samsung recently laid out, listing the Flip3 and Fold3 as due for their stable updates in December.
As always, we’ll be keeping this article updated as other Samsung devices receive the December 2021 security patch.
