As per SamMobile, Dish and MetroPCS based Galaxy S20 series will also get the update soon in the coming days.
The One UI 5.0 brings all of Android 13’s brilliant improvements to the Galaxy S20 series, along with some pleasant changes to the UI, including an expanded color Palette feature, bigger notifications icons, and better blur effects in the notifications area, Stacked Widgets, a lot of accessibility features, and improved lock screen customization.
