Samsung‘s firmware polices are so clear that based on them, it is pretty easy to deliver a list of devices that are eligible for the update to One UI 5 based on the new Android 13 software. Taking that in consideration, here is a list of Samsung smartphones that are eligible to receive the new Android 13 as soon as it will be available to the public.
As you might know at this point, the South Korean company guarantees at least three years of major Android updates for its flagship smartphones, and up to four years of security updates for its new devices. Besides that, Samsung also offers five years of security patches for flagships and mid-range phones that are part of the “Enterprise Edition” series, mainly targeting the corporate market.
Last year, Google released Android 12 in October, and we expect that the new version will be launched between September and October 2022. According to Samsung’s update history, the first devices that will get the new One UI 5 features will be the Galaxy S22 series and the most recent foldable devices. We expect to see this happening in December 2022.
Here we list all Samsung phones that should receive the update to Android 13/One UI 5 based on three main sources: Samsung’s firmware polices, history of updates and announcements made on the manufacturer’s official pages. Below you will find the models divided by series.

One UI 5 beta test
Just like Apple and Google, Samsung has a testing program for those who want to actively participate in building the new version of the operating system by submitting feedback. The Android 13 beta testing program is already open and we prepared a guide on how you can sign up and participate in the development of One UI 5.
Samsung’s beta testing program is open to all users, and is a chance to try out One UI’s new features before the official launch. Right now, the One UI Beta Program is open to participants in China, Germany, India, Poland, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Also, only owners of Galaxy S22 series devices will be able to be part of the testing program now. Samsung is expected to expand the beta testing program to foldable models in the coming weeks.

That’s it! Bear in mind that this list will be constantly updated with new devices and information concerning the operating system update schedule for Samsung smartphones. If your Galaxy smartphone is not on the list of devices eligible for update, don’t worry, because this is not yet the official selection from Samsung – which should be published some time between late November and early December.
