Galaxy S23 Gets One UI 6 Beta 3 Update – Here’s the List of Fixes

The One UI 6 Beta program continues to cruise along for the Galaxy S23 series, with a beta 3 build arriving today. The new update will land on your Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, or Galaxy S23 Ultra as ZWI8, for those curious.

In the update, Samsung is mostly taking care of bugs, openly talking about known issues, and continuing the march towards stable, which could happen soon if Google releases Android 14 to stable for the world to officially use. I sure hope Google has a date in mind, as the next Android 14 beta is about to start.

New One UI 6 Beta 3 Features: For those in the One UI 6 Beta, before we get to the bug fixes, Samsung says there are two new features involving the video player that you may want to know about.

• Enhanced layout: Video player controls are now easier than ever. Buttons with similar functions have been grouped together, and the Play button has been moved to the center of the screen.
• Enhanced playback speed controls: choose between several video playback speeds between 0.25x and 2.0x. Speed controls are now easier to access with dedicated buttons instead of a slider.
