Samsung wanted to finish shipping its update to Android 13-based One UI 5 by the end of 2022, but it seems that it was too optimistic. We say this because the company is still, even today, rolling out the software to more and more devices.
In this case, the lucky ones are the Galaxy A03 and the Galaxy F12. While the rollout may not be complete yet for all eligible devices, we’re certainly getting close, as these two are pretty much at the lowest end of all. There are unlikely to be many other phones that have yet to receive the update.
Samsung Galaxy F12
The Galaxy A03 is currently receiving the Android 13 update in Serbia. It is coming out as firmware version A035FXXU2CVL4 and brings One UI Core 5.0 to the low-end smartphone. “Core” denotes the fact that these entry-level models get a subset of the features of the higher-end ones, presumably so as not to tax the hardware too much. We hope the update will be available in other countries soon.
The Galaxy F12, on the other hand, has always been exclusive to India. And so it is in India that the new firmware, version F127GXXU3CVL4, is being launched. It comes with the November 2022 security patch level, which fixes as many as 46 security vulnerabilities. It would probably be worth upgrading just for those, not to mention all the new features you get in One UI 5.0.
If you own one of these smartphones and have not yet been notified of an update, it might be a good idea to manually check by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install. You might just get lucky.
