Samsung just released the final One UI 6 Beta 9 OTA update for the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra.

Samsung just released One UI 6.0 Beta 9 with build ZWJM today with the finishing touch. This may very well be the final update as it only features some bug fixes and also fixed the known issues from previous betas.

The beta weighs about 415 MB in size. The only changelog it states is bug fixes and system optimizations. No new features as they already have been implemented in the previous updates.

The previous update fixed the problem of not being able to record during a call. Also, fixed ghost touch issues or no touch at the bottom of the screen.

The update also fixed the issues where the phone froze after launching the camera leading to forced termination; making it unable to take pictures. Fixed the problem of not being able to use Motion Photo. Fixed infinite rebooting problem when entering Maintenance Mode.

The previously known issues which have been fixed include:

• Motion photo is not available
• Infinite reboot occurs when entering repair mode
• Kids app cannot be installed after updating from One UI 5.0 to One UI 6.0. It has been installed in this update as a separate app
