Last Updated on November 21, 2021 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

Samsung had recently released the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 Beta update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The update has restricted the screen refresh rate of the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s cover display to 60Hz despite it being a 120Hz display. Now, after a couple of weeks, Samsung is rolling out a second Android 12 Beta update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, which promises to fix that screen refresh rate bug and other major bugs found in the previous build.

The new update comes with a firmware version ending ZUKA, and it will roll out for Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 users enrolled in the Android 12 based One UI 4.0 Beta program. The update will fix the screen refresh rate issue of the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s cover screen. It promises that it will now run on 120Hz without any hiccups. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 will get improved transitions between the main screen and cover screen.

The update brings some minor tweaks to the camera UI (User Interface), design for improved camera operation. It has also fixed an issue related to the Samsung Gallery app, which wouldn’t let images be moved between folders. The update also fixes automatic connections to saved Wi-Fi networks.

This update is not a stable build and there could be a few annoying bugs in this version as well. So, it is advisable to proceed with caution. If you are not enrolled for the Android 12 One UI 4.0 Beta program yet, you can register on the Samsung Members app and enrol in it by tapping the One UI Beta Program banner on the homepage of the app.

If you aren’t of the adventurous kind, you can wait for the stable build, which is expected to roll out for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 between December 2021 to January 2022. You can read about all the new features that come with the One UI 4.0 update in our detailed article.
