Samsung One UI 6 Beta Now Available for Unsupported Countries
Samsung enthusiasts, the wait is finally over! One UI 6.0 beta, based on Android 14, is here, and we have an exclusive guide for all the supported Galaxy models that allow you to sideload the beta. This method will work even if the beta programme is not available in your country or if it’s already full.
However, it’s essential to note that sideloading the beta will prevent your device from receiving automatic OTA updates. You’ll have to manually install the stable One UI 6 once it’s released or downgrade back to One UI 5 via Odin.
Here’s a Quick Overview of the Supported Models:
- Galaxy S23 Ultra:
- SM-S918B: AWF7 ➝ ZWH8
- SM-S918U1: AWFD -> ZWH8
- SM-S918U: AWFD -> ZWH8

Recently, at the MWC 2024 event, which was held in Barcelona, Samsung’s VP, Hon Pak confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy Ring will not be supported by iPhones. Pak also said that their products are as good as the Apple ones.
There are also very good reasons to switch to Samsung’s ecosystem. Samsung is also working on making their devices compatible with other Android devices as well, not only with their own.
As we already know, Galaxy Ring comes in various sizes. Among them, the smallest one is powered with a battery of 14 mAh, and the largest one comes with a bigger battery of 21.5 mAh which will provide a battery backup of 5-9 days.
Until now, the launch of Galaxy Ring has not been revealed but some rumors suggested that it will launch in the Unpacked Event, which is going to be held in July along with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
