It looks like Samsung fixed the issues it had encountered when it first started rolling out its Android 12-based One UI 4 update. The company is rolling out the update again to Galaxy S21 devices and the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3.

Even with a public beta process, Samsung ran into some problems during its initial release in November. Users were reporting poor performance, screen flicker troubles, and other bugs.
