Android Central’s Take
Beta 3 is here and it feels like Samsung is trying to hit the deadline. We expect Samsung to show off One UI 9 later this summer around Unpacked for its foldable parts. If this is going to be the case, then it makes sense that he would work tirelessly to prepare everything. Samsung’s summer event is usually held in July and we are expecting it this year.
