Android 13 update for Samsung Galaxy A53 to arrive soon

Android 13 update for Samsung Galaxy A53
  • Samsung has been testing the One UI 5.0 beta version of Android 13 on a variety of handsets in various locations.
  • By the end of 2022, Samsung will update two generations of its flagship smartphones; report.
  • The company has not yet made public the list of devices that are eligible for the upgrade or the distribution schedule.

For the past few weeks, Samsung has been testing the One UI 5.0 beta version of Android 13 on a variety of handsets in various locations.

The company has not yet made public the list of devices that are eligible for the upgrade or the distribution schedule.

Prior to that, a study outlining the devices that might have access to the most recent version of Android before 2023 has just surfaced.

Let’s look at which Samsung smartphones will get the One UI 5.0 stable upgrade first.

An international tech source has said that by the end of 2022, Samsung will update two generations of its flagship smartphones to One UI 5.0 stable, which is based on Android 13.

More intriguingly, the South Korean IT behemoth will simultaneously roll out this update to a mid-range smartphone.

It’s none other than the Galaxy A53 in question.

If so, the A53 will be the first device from the A series to get the most recent Android upgrade alongside the flagships.

Here is a list of Samsung devices that are rumored to receive the stable Android 13 upgrade before 2023.

  • Galaxy Z Fold 4
  • Galaxy Z Fold 3
  • Galaxy Z Flip 4
  • Galaxy Z Flip 3
  • Galaxy S22 Ultra
  • Galaxy S21 Ultra
  • Galaxy S22 Plus
  • Galaxy S21 Plus
  • Galaxy S22
  • Galaxy S21
  • Galaxy A53

Despite the fact that this information makes Samsung’s update strategy sound promising, it actually lags behind Oppo’s.

The latter has already started rolling out Android 13 stable to both its 2022 flagships and OnePlus’ 2022 devices.

In any case, Samsung offers lengthier support than all other Android OEMs.

It is the only company to provide 5 years of security updates in addition to 4 generations of Android updates.

Murtaza Wahab destroyed Karachi, Says Khurram

 

  • Khurram Sher Zaman on Monday said that Murtaza Wahab did his best to destroy the city as an administrator
  • He hoped the Sindh government would refrain from installing a political administrator in Karachi before the next election. 

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

 

KARACHI: Parliamentary leader of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI)  Sindh Assembly Khurram Sher Zaman on Monday said that Murtaza Wahab did his best to destroy the city as an administrator, BOL News reported.

 “Murtaza Wahab proved to be a failed administrator for the city. Sindh High Court’s decision is in accordance with the people’s aspirations. During the reign of Murtaza Wahab, there were heaps of dirt in the city, and rainwater was standing everywhere,” Khurram Sher Zaman said. 

Sher Zaman claimed that Murtaza’s reservation on the High Court’s decision is actually tantamount to contempt of court. People’s Party has always protected its interests in the name of the law. 

“The K-Electric was already charging heavy taxes from the consumers. Murtaza Wahab’s sincerity made citizens suffer from back pain,” he added.  

He hoped the Sindh government would refrain from installing a political administrator in Karachi before the next election. 

Earlier, Administrator Murtaza Wahab announced that he is resigning from the slot.

He was addressing a presser here when said that he has been resigning as Karachi Administrator.

The development came after the court restricted the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) from collecting taxes through K-Electric.

He maintained that the tax was for the betterment of Karachi and the citizens. Wahab maintained that he was working for the betterment of the city for the past year and KMC was about to stand on its feet.

“It would have been easier for me to ask the prime minister and the chief minister for funds, but I did not.”
