Samsung is giving more people a chance to try out its Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update early. The company has just opened the beta program for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy F23. If you’re using these phones in a supported country, you can register through the Samsung Members app and make a jump to Android 14 ahead of others. There are new beta updates for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy S21 as well.
Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 get One UI 6.0 beta
The One UI 6.0 beta for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 is currently open in South Korea. The Galaxy F23 is getting the update in the country. Well, the F-series phone is exclusively available in India, but the two foldables were sold globally. Samsung may expand the beta program for them to other regions in the coming days. The company is currently running beta programs in six other countries — China, Germany, India, Poland, the UK, and the US.
For some devices, beta updates are only available in a few countries, though. If you’re interested in joining the beta program, open the Samsung Members app and look for a banner about One UI 6.0. If you find one, click on it and proceed to register. The beta update will roll out to your phone like a regular software update over the air (OTA) a few hours after registration. Note that beta updates may be unstable and buggy.
Galaxy S21 and Fold 5 are getting new beta updates
There’s good news for Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy S21 users too. The new foldable is getting its second One UI 6.0 beta update with the build number ZWJ4. It brings a host of bug fixes and stability improvements. For the Galaxy S21 series, the beta update has now reached the US. It’s rolling out with the build number ZWJ2 and has an OTA size of 2.3GB (via).
Along with the aforementioned models, Samsung’s One UI 6.0 beta program is also open for several other devices. The Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A53, and Galaxy A34 are in this group. The company regularly pushes new beta builds to all of these devices. If you have enrolled in the program, don’t forget to check for updates in the Settings app. Those looking to participate can use the Samsung Members app to check if the One UI 6.0 beta is available in their country. The stable rollout may begin later this month.
