Update: Samsung has released the second One UI 6.0 beta update in South Korea, too. So, anyone who has installed the first One UI 6.0 beta update on their Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra would be able to download and install the One UI 6.0 Beta 2 update on their phone.
Original story follows…
Well, it didn't take long. Samsung started rolling out the One UI 6.0 beta update in more countries moments ago, and it turns out that the 2nd One UI 6.0 beta build is also rolling out for Galaxy S23 phones that were already running the 1st beta build.
We can confirm that the 2nd One UI 6.0 beta is available for the Galaxy S23 series in Germany. The latter is one of the three original countries where the beta program kicked off — the other two being the USA and South Korea. Therefore, it is possible that Samsung will soon release the 2nd One UI 6.0 beta for the Galaxy S23 in its home country and stateside. We'll keep you posted when we find out more.
For now, if you are participating in the beta program for the Galaxy S23 in Germany, you can download the 2nd beta build.
