Samsung has been rolling out the One UI 6 beta program based on Android 14 to its devices since last month. The latest flagship line, the Galaxy S23 family, was the first to receive the beta update, followed by some mid-range models like the Galaxy A54 and A34. However, the Galaxy S22 series, which was launched last year, was left out of the beta program until now.
One UI 6 beta for Galaxy S22 available in Korea
Samsung has finally announced that the One UI 6 beta program is now open for Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones. This beta update is currently available for Galaxy S22 series users in Korea. Users who want to join the beta program can enroll through the Samsung Members app. The slots are limited, so users should hurry up and register as soon as possible.

The One UI 6 beta update for the Galaxy S22 series is over 3GB in size and contains the September 2023 security patch. Installing the beta update will not wipe the data on the phone, but users who want to leave the program midway will have to set up the phone again.
