Samsung Galaxy S23 owners can now enjoy One UI 6

Amid a storm of leaks, speculations, and rumors, the spotlight has been on One UI 6 for weeks.

Now, the curtain has finally been lifted, and Samsung Galaxy S23 owners in the United States, Germany, and South Korea have something to celebrate. Samsung has officially rolled out its latest One UI 6 beta.

While the beta update was initially scheduled for Thursday, it faced a setback and didn’t arrive until Friday. Samsung is yet to comment on the delay.

“Our mission with One UI is to reflect the unique preferences of our users in every aspect of their mobile experience,” noted Samsung’s Executive VP Janghyun Yoon in a press release. The press release added that it will pay attention to the user feedback on One UI 6 as the South Korean consumer-tech giant creates a “richer, more intuitive experience.”

Samsung One UI 6 is the sixth-major upgrade to Samsung’s home-grown Android OS, One UI.

It is built on Android 14 and offers several new and exciting features — from design updates, personalization options to enhanced security and less power consumption.
