A couple of months back, Samsung released the Android 12 based One UI 4.0 beta for Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.

Every jump in the beta phase intends to eliminate bugs that were present in the previous build. However, even in the third phase, the package was not stable enough and was littered with bugs. The company has now released Beta 4 to squash those glitches.

The announcement was made through the Samsung Members forum according to which, the fourth One UI 4.0 beta update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 is rolling out in South Korea. The package can be identified by the firmware version ZUL4.

The One UI 4.0 Beta 4 addresses various bugs some of which are mentioned below:

• Where the phone was forced to boot into Safe Mode or Recovery Menu.


• The bug that reset all the apps to 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.


• The bug that stopped some links from being opened on Facebook.


• The bug that prevented the Kiwoom Securities app from running on foldable devices.

If you are already on the One UI 4.0 beta firmware, this update will arrive as an OTA. In another case, you can visit the Samsung Members app and enroll yourself by tapping on the One UI beta program banner.

Verizon LG Wing receives Android 11 update

The LG Wing was the last major smartphone by the company before it decided to pack its mobile business. Though the device was supposed to get the Android 11 update long before. Anyway, the Verizon-based LG Wing is now receiving the new operating system.

To mention, the Android 11 update for LG Wing could be the last major update for the users but, a similar build is yet to be rolled out for other variants as well. Considering that we already have Android 12 moving around, the Android 11 update isn't exactly snappy. But given the company is not in function anymore, we can't say it's awful.

Presently, the package is live in the USA via software version F100VM20a. As far as changes are concerned, it will bring all the Android 11 goodies, for instance, UI customizations, chat bubbles, camera optimizations, native screen recorder, new quick settings actions, one-time permissions, and much more.

LG Wing was launched last year and is eligible to get updates even for the next year, given that it provides two years of update support to its flagship. This remains a question for obvious reasons. But who knows? Maybe the company will release an Android 12 update next year.

The OTA build will reach out to Verizon’s unit of LG Wing in a staged manner. Alternatively, you can also navigate the update via phone’s Settings -> About Phone -> Software updates -> Check for Update, if the update is available for your device, click on Download and install.

December update for Pixel 6 & 6 Pro is finally rolling out

Google usually rolls out monthly updates to its smartphones on the first working Monday of every month. However, this month, the company already announced that we may have to wait another week before the deployment begins. Well, the delay is now over as the December 2021 update for the Pixel 6 series is now live!

As promised by Google, the software brings the latest security patch, new feature drop feature, and some bug fixes. If you own Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a (XL), Pixel 4 (XL), Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, or Pixel 5a, you already know what the update is!

Prior to the rollout, the tech giant gave us an idea of what we can expect from the package. The new software adds ultra-wideband (UWB) functionality to the Pixel 6 Pro. While both smartphones will receive digital car keys which will be useful for the owners of some recent BMW models.

Although the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the latest handset by Google offering everything from a fresh design to a new processor. Unfortunately, the devices are littered with bugs since release. With this build, Google intends to address them, especially the ghost-dialing problem where the assistant place calls to random numbers from contacts on its own.

The latest update has started rolling out today in batches. Thus, it may take a few days to reach all the Pixel 6 smartphones. So don't worry if you haven't got it, it's just a matter of days.
