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
