One UI 5.0
[Updated] Has Verizon really released Stable One UI 5.0 (Android 13) update for Samsung Galaxy S22?
Story published on Sep 29, last updated on Sep 30…
Samsung is still testing the One UI 5.0 Beta on the Galaxy S22 series devices, and Verizon just refreshed its software support page, which suggests the Stable One UI 5.0 update, based on Android 13 is now available to download for Verizon’s carrier-locked devices, but how?
Verizon support page for the Galaxy S22 series clearly mentions that the devices are getting a Stable One UI 5.0 update with Android 13 operating system. Not that all, but the network provider has also disclosed all the new features that are included in the latest OTA update for the S22 series.
Meanwhile, there are two things to discuss:
- Build version
- Typo or technical error
1. Build Version
Samsung’s Beta builds can be identified via the fourth last alphabet of the Galaxy phone’s PDA version number. If the device is running a Beta build, the fourth last alphabet is “Z” and Stable is counted as A, B, C and so on, which changes per major One UI upgrade.
2. Typo or technical error
With the latest Galaxy S22 series upgrade, the changelog and support page suggests that it is Android 13-based One UI 5.0 OTA, but the fourth last digit of the firmware remains unchanged to “A.” It could be a typo in the version number or a technical error, if Verizon hasn’t really released One UI 5.0.

- S906USQS2AVI1 – Galaxy S22 Plus
- S908USQS2AVI1 – Galaxy S22 Ultra
Consumers Feedback
Unlocked Galaxy S22 series smartphones, on the other hand, just started to get the October 2022 Android security update in the United States. At the same time, Verizon users reported on the Reddit thread that they’ve also received the update but got just a security patch after installation.
Conclusion:
As per the users’ confirmation and the current stage of One UI 5.0 development, we can assume that Verizon mistakenly mentioned the Android 13 update information on its support page. Meanwhile, it’s now almost confirmed that the Stable One UI 5.0 update rollout preparation is done by Verizon.

Lighting is one of the important factors in photography. With the new update, the company would like to introduce the Editors’ Tint Menu so that you can fine-tune the effect of these lights.
Samsung offers three different functions for adjusting the lighting, which look similar but are different. Those three functions are Light Balance, Definition, and Clearness. Let’s see these three functions of Samsung One UI 5.1 Photo Editor.
Improved Light Balance
Light Balance literally means the balance of light. This function adjusts the balance of brightness to the mid-tones in the image. This feature ensures visibility and balances brightness by making very dark areas slightly brighter and very bright areas slightly darker.
When we increase the (+) value, the light balance effect is adjusted to make the overall image brighter and more clear, while we increase the (-) value, the overall image becomes darker such as casting a shadow.
The Light Balance function is currently only available for photo editing and will be soon supported by Video Editor.
Sharpness Improvement
Sharpness is a feature that edits blurry photos to make them sharper. Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with light, it does involve the power of light.
Brighten the brightest point of the photo that bringing out the texture, which has the effect of sharpening the photo. The sharpness enhancement applies to photo editing and video editing alike.
New Clarity Feature
Clarity is a new feature of the latest One UI 5.1 update. Alike the Sharpness function, the Clarity function applies the effect of lighting rather than changing it. This function makes bright areas of an image slightly brighter and dark areas slightly darker to enhance the texture or three-dimensional effect of the image. In One UI 5.1, Clarity is only available for photo editing, but the company is planning to release this feature to the Video Editor.
