Interestingly, Samsung confirmed that once it goes live, this particular program won't give participants a time advantage over the standard One UI beta program. Both beta branches will run simultaneously , and it's not entirely clear how they'll differ.
The One UI 5.0 beta will be the first version of the software to be offered through this new Value Up Challenge. It's worth noting that the program will only be open to select users who have good ratings on Samsung's membership and community platforms.
So if these select users don't have a head start over regular One UI beta testers , what kind of benefits will they have? We won't know for sure until Samsung reveals more. But presumably, the company could prioritize feedback from Value Up Challenge participants for this UI over regular beta testers.

These selected members could contribute more to shaping the final One UI experience, and Samsung could reward participants based on their performance during the testing phase.
Samsung hasn't revealed when the public beta stages of One UI 5.0 will begin, but the community forums for the upcoming beta firmware are already up and running and waiting for participants to come and share their experiences.
