South Korean tech giant Samsung released Android 12-powered OneUI 4.0 stable update on Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 just a couple of days ago. Although the update should’ve brought a stable update on the two foldable devices, it has so far been a disaster as there are countless reports on the stable update failing.

If you are thinking of upgrading to the stable OneUI 4.0 for both the aforementioned foldable phones, I would suggest waiting for a patch that Samsung could release in some time. If you have already upgraded to the stable OneUI 4.0 and are facing issues, downgrading to a previous version, deleting cache partition, and performing a factory reset (if available) might help.
