The One UI 6 beta, which is based on Android 14 and was supposed to go live today for Galaxy S23 phones, got delayed again, according to Android Authority:

Update: August 10, 2023 (5:46 AM ET): It looks like Samsung has once again delayed the One UI 6 beta. Industry sources tell us the decision to delay the beta was taken last minute, which is why we didn’t hear about it before publishing our original post below. The company has even deleted its One UI 6 announcement post that went up a while back and the beta is not yet live. We’ve reached out to Samsung for an update about the final release date for the beta.

    Probably delayed because the bloatware is causing conflicts making them lost potential revenue. If it affected the end user they would push it anyways

    Have betas been relatively stable in the past? Considering enrolling my S23.

      There have been instances in the past where Samsung betas would kill Samsung Pay, Secure Folder and other apps relying on Knox for the first couple of releases, and then around beta 3 they start working again. Something to keep in mind if you use these features.

        Can confirm, neither Samsung on Google wallet work on this beta.

        EDIT: uninstalling S Wallet then reinstalling from Galaxy Store made it work again here. Go figure.

    I really want this redesigned panel. I dislike how Samsung uses blur everywhere except notifications, from the looks of it, they’re finally fixing this
