Android 12 update goes live for the US Galaxy A42 5G and Galaxy A71 5G
Samsung has started rolling out the Android 12 update for the Galaxy A42 5G and Galaxy A71 5G in the US. The latter also received One UI 4.1.
Compared to the global Android device variants, US models have a reputation for being slow with software updates. The OEMs hoped to improve upon that with their close collaboration with the carriers, but the results have been mixed at best. The US Samsung Galaxy A32 5G model, for example, received the One UI 4.1 update more than two weeks after its international counterpart. The saga continues, as the Korean OEM is now bringing Android 12 to two more phones in the US weeks after the global rollout. The US variants of the Galaxy A42 5G and the Galaxy A71 5G are the latest Samsung A-series devices to get a taste of One UI 4 with Android 12.

In November last year, Samsung shared the One UI 4 rollout schedule for all eligible devices.

And while there were quite a few setbacks, Samsung has successfully managed to push One UI 4 to almost all of them. In fact, the company has even rolled out One UI 4 to two mid-range Galaxy A series phones -- the Galaxy A52 4G and the Galaxy A72 -- and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. The Galaxy A42 5G and the Galaxy A52 5G are the next in line to receive the One UI 4 treatment, and the update has already started rolling out to some users.
Samsung might offer OIS on all Galaxy A series phones next year
Industry sources have revealed that Samsung is planning to offer OIS on the primary camera of all Galaxy A series phones next year. Read on to learn more.

But Samsung has launched a couple of mid-range Galaxy A series devices with OIS on the primary camera this year, and the company is reportedly planning on extending the feature to more Galaxy A series phones next year.
