wait so does that mean the s23 is out of luck

The S23 series will still get One UI 9. This is just the current expansion of the beta.

Does anyone regularly daily a beta OS on their primary phone? I used to do that when I was younger, but I need now shit to just work

u/txredgeek 20h ago

I do all the time. Pretty rare for a beta to cause any real critical issues, they're usually caught in the alpha these days.

How does Good Lock modules work? Or are they all broken?

u/FragmentedChicken Galaxy Z Fold8 17h ago

Some of them continue working, while others require an update to continue functioning. It usually gets updated shortly after the first beta release.

Are you on the beta? If so, can you tell me which ones are working?

u/FragmentedChicken Galaxy Z Fold8 17h ago

They're all working. I should have clarified by first beta release, I meant for the S26 series.

u/pic2022 17h ago

Ohhhhh I got ya. Thank you!

u/FragmentedChicken Galaxy Z Fold8 17h ago

I do. Haven't run into anything crazy yet...

I enrolled in the beta for my s26 ultra on the day it was released. It's my daily driver and I've never had a single issue with it. All my banking apps work, everything functions as expected and smoothly. Battery life remained astounding (10-14 hours SoT depending on what I was doing that day).

Just a few days ago, while on Beta 6 I had two random restarts of the phone. The next beta 7 which was released a day or two later noted that it fixed these issues and I haven't had a problem since.

Just my experience YMMV

Why would I? I’m not QA testing for free

u/CryptographerDue4649 19h ago

u/AmnesiaInnocent Galaxy S25 Edge 20h ago

No love for the S25 Edge?

u/Remarkable_Swing_612 19h ago

Yeah where the Edge at?

u/tiradium S24 Ultra 1TB 19h ago

Too thin to be eligible 😂

u/KrewOwns 17h ago

Even sadder they keep leaving the TriFold out of these betas. Their most expensive device and they don't take it seriously.

How about the Samsung Z Trifold?
