Samsung’s Galaxy S23 lineup is now getting its fourth One UI 6.0 beta update. As expected, it brings a handful of bug fixes as the company prepares to roll out the stable build, which should arrive in late October. The Korean firm hasn’t officially announced the schedule yet.
One UI 6.0 is Samsung‘s Android 14-based custom software for Galaxy devices. The company opened the beta program for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in the second week of August. It has since expanded the program to the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, and a few mid-range models while making the update available in more markets.
Over the past one and a half months, Samsung has pushed multiple beta builds to the Galaxy S23 phones. It has just released the fourth update for the trio. The update comes with the firmware build number ZWIC (via) and patches some bugs present in the previous build. Samsung says it has fixed an issue that caused onboarding problems when trying to log into Samsung Pass.
It has also addressed the problem of Galaxy S23 phones failing to detect the “answer the call” voice command while receiving a call. When using gesture navigation, the phones had issues executing Google Assistant using the swipe-up feature. Samsung has patched this bug as well. The official changelog supplied by Samsung further mentions “many other improvements” without going into details.
Additionally, Samsung has outlined some issues that are unresolved with One UI 6.0 Beta 4. You still can’t capture motion photos. The Kids app remains unsupported as well. The company has been saying that it will add support in September but hasn’t gotten around to doing that yet. You should avoid entering the repair mode too. Samsung says doing so might make the phone enter an infinite reboot loop.
The One UI 6.0 stable update might land on the Galaxy S23 in a month
Samsung may have yet to officially reveal its stable One UI 6.0 update roadmap, but all signs are pointing at a first stable rollout in late October. As you might expect, the Galaxy S23 series will get the update first. Other flagship models, including foldables, will follow soon. If history is any indication, the company may cover most of the eligible models and a few mid-range models with Android 14-based One UI 6.0 before the end of the year. We will keep you posted with all future beta and stable releases.
