By February 2023, Samsung hopes to have distributed One UI 5 to at least 49 smartphones and tablets across its product range. Based on Android 13, One UI 5 will reach the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra this month before heading to other current and previous flagships next month, including the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

On Monday, Samsung started distributing One UI 5 to the Galaxy S22 series, including the entry-level Galaxy S22. Now, SamMobile has shared a schedule for the rollout of the Android 13-based update to another 48 devices, including numerous tablet models. For reference, the website has published a screenshot written in Korean, implying that the timings only apply to Samsung's home market.

However, the months outlined should apply to most other markets, based on One UI 5 availability for the Galaxy S22 series in other markets. According to the list reproduced below, next up for One UI 5 are other current and past flagships, such as the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S21 series, plus the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Flip4. Likewise, the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are also in line for One UI 5 next month, as are the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S8 series.

Surprisingly, the screenshot lists the Quantum 3, Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A53 under Samsung's November 2022 rollout, putting the trio ahead of the Galaxy Z Fold2 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G. For some reason, Samsung has not yet included the Galaxy S21 FE as part of its plans. In short, most popular Samsung tablets and smartphones should have received One UI 5 before the end of the year. You can find the full list reproduced below, which we have separated by the months in which Samsung should start distributing the new OS update. Please note that the list will only apply to factory-unlocked devices. By contrast, carriers will have different timescales for delivering One UI 5 to their handsets.
