Samsung has released the second One UI 6.0 beta update for the Galaxy S23 series. It fixes several bugs present in the first build, allowing for a more stable experience. The company has also expanded the beta program to more markets.
One UI 6.0 beta is now available more widely
Samsung opened a public beta program for One UI 6.0, which is its Android 14-based custom software experience for Galaxy devices, in the second week of August. The beta update was initially available for the Galaxy S23 series in Germany, South Korea, and the US. The company later announced that it would expand the program to India, China, Poland, and the UK. It’s now live in India and the UK, with the other two markets expected to follow soon.
As usual, the first One UI 6.0 beta update released in these markets isn’t the same build that Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 ultra users in Germany, South Korea, and the US got a few weeks back. Samsung has fixed several known bugs and is pushing a fresh build to them. The new build is essentially rolling out as the second beta update in the original three markets, though there may be a few differences.
The new beta update fixes several bugs
The second One UI 6.0 beta update for the Galaxy 23 series is rolling out with build version ZWHO. It fixes several bugs to improve the functional stability of the devices. The September 2023 Android security patch is also part of the package.
The official changelog supplied by Samsung mentions fixes or improvements for keyboard shortcuts, Netflix playback issues, Home app crash problems, Multi-Window stability issues in Secure Folder, Music Share, instability of S Pen actions, failed execution of Repair Mode, intermittent Reset issues, call sound issues with the Galaxy Buds, Samsung Health, and more.
The OTA (over-the-air) package for users in Germany, South Korea, and the US weighs about 1.7GB, though it varies according to the model and market. The download size is much bigger for Galaxy S23 users in India and the UK (almost 3GB), though. That’s because it’s the first One UI 6.0 beta for them.
If you’re using a Galaxy S23 phone in any of these countries, you can enroll in Samsung’s One UI 6.0 beta program through the Samsung Members app. You will find a banner about the enrollment process on the app’s home page. Tap on the banner and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration. The beta update will arrive as a regular OTA update shortly.
