Samsung has reportedly resumed rolling out the stable version of the Android 12-based One UI 4 update. The update was recently paused when many users reported issues regarding compatibility with Google Play. The One UI 4 update was rolled out for Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 smartphones. Samsung has also mentioned that it has collaborated with Google in order to eliminate the issues faced by users. The update for the aforementioned Samsung Galaxy smartphones is now said to be rolling out globally.

As per a report by XDA Developers, Samsung is finally resuming the rollout of the stable version of Android 12-based One UI 4 for Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3. As mentioned earlier, Samsung said (via a moderator on its forum) that it has collaborated with Google to resolve the compatibility issues between its One UI 4 update and Google Play.

The firmware version for the Galaxy S21 series' One UI 4 update is G99xBXXS3BULC and G99xNKSS3BULC for the global and South Korean markets, respectively, as per the report. Galaxy Z Fold 3's firmware version is said to be F926xxxS1BUL6, while Galaxy Z Flip 3's firmware version is said to be F711xxxS2BUL6.
