Galaxy S23 Ultra & One UI 7 - FINALLY!

The Galaxy S23 Ultra One UI 7 Beta is FINALLY out, what does it have, what is it missing and how does it run?

Let's find out!

Hey everyone, small correction.

You need to upgrade the voice recorder on the S23 Ultra from Galaxy Store for it to appear in the Now Bar. Just did it and it works!

One of the best phones samsung had ever produced in recent times

After upgrading to s25 ultra....i came to know how beautiful my s22 ultra you my love

You buy the most expensive phone at that moment, and only two years later you remain the last in line to wait for Android 15. And because of the greed of the company and the desire for as many people as possible to buy their new model, all the rest of us are waiting for the update of One UI for months. And what are we waiting for? A new user interface that we can customize as we wish. Wow, that's exactly what I've been missing from my mobile all my life. They sell us less and less for more and more money.

Samsung should pay more salary to developers How can a company like Samsung delay releases or be so slow in providing updates to its devices?

I has been using Galaxy S models for 6 years .Software updates has never delayed like this.

[Usman_khan]

S23 ultra looks more premium and beautiful than the s25u ❤

[Strange-T]

I hope all these omissions in the update isn't intentional and they make it available in the stable update

[sbrader]

Artificial limitations by samsung I'm currently using a s25u port on s23u from xda it has most or all of the features from s25 avaliable for the ai and log video

7:42 Finally they've added an animation for the notification icons, when pressing on the live activity, for now it just poorly was put aside

[Qvexilber]

8:17 Also new on the S23U there is that the background of the media player is blurred while on the S24s and S25s it still has a solid background

[AlexChambo]

It's sad how samsung treats the s23 ultra, knowing that it's the device that most galaxy users like😢

My S23U has never let me down. Now it's getting UI 7 and I'm freakin excited! I never had an issue except when playing Minecraft PE it stutters every 15 seconds. I can't have a smooth play and that's the only issue I had. Overheating, slowing, and others never happened to my phone. Remeber some Cases helps and ruins your phone temp. I had a Spigen Green Full back cover and my phone overheats easily but when I bought the Spigen Ultra Case Cryo I never felt any heat even when playing 4 hours straight. Tho I stopped playing games now but for anyone looking for a good case. SPIGEN ultra case Cryo is the go to case.

The only bummer is no dex on pc, better to stay with oneui6 imo

[Liam_WLS]

Battery icon is better on the S23's one 7 😊

[johnpineda]

I hope they bring sports integration to the now bar too the s23 and 24 series

I have already found a good dozen errors on the S23 Ultra so I will start in comments:
1. Galaxy S23 Ultra SM-918B
- The set alarm icon does not appear in the status bar, but only after expanding the quick panel.
- It's possible that this is samsung's deliberate intention, but I don't know if I wouldn't prefer it to be visible even on the status bar.

2. Galaxy S23 Ultra SM-918B
- Now Bar on Always on Display appears in different places which doesn't look good, even looks awful and unsightly - I understand that it may be to protect against burn-in.
- The Now Bar should move only when the user, has the AOD display set to “always”, and when it has, for example, “on click” or other option it should be in its central position.

3. Galaxy S23 Ultra SM-918B
- After connecting the charger when the phone is locked, the Now Bar displays with a beautiful charging animation on the AOD, unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier in a random place.
- The Now Bar with charging information should always display on the AOD and on the displayed lock screen - not disappear after a few seconds.

4. Galaxy S23 Ultra SM-918B
- Sometimes it happens that a pop-up notification from Messenger, for example, is too long. Messenger is a little too long than it should be.
- Notifications should be checked and adjusted.


5. Galaxy S23 Ultra SM-918B
- Search emoticons in the Samsung keyboard, unfortunately still does not work even in English, let alone in others.
- Emoticons should be keyboard searchable in at least a dozen languages or more - this is not difficult to enter, and would be great considering that many users need this

6. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918
- "When we have the advanced animation tuning enabled in Goodlock HomeUP and we set the scale of the "home screen" animation (app grid, widgets, etc.) above 1.36, that is, 1.5 to be most visible. Then when we test the app animations from the very corners of the phone, they will jump strangely.
- Animations of apps located in corners should be corrected on this setting, without strange skipping effect

7. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918B
- You need to have a separate notification panel setting enabled from the quick settings panel. You're in the notification panel if you hold your finger and move it about 0.5-1.5cm up, and then swipe your finger as if you want to move to the quick settings panel - that's when the notification panel weirdly "jumps."
- Even after a slight upward slide, there should be no ability to slide to the quick panel, or it should be done smoothly.

8. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918B
- You have applications, e.g. Chrome, normally on the desktop as an icon (although in my case these are basic applications at the very bottom of the screen) and you have Chrome in the application folder (the smallest one) - let it be the Google folder. When you enable applications normally (not through the folder) and exit it, the animation returns to where it should be. However, when you enter the enabled Chrome through the "Task manager" (applications in RAM) and then exit Chrome, the animation returns to the folder, not to the application itself.
- I believe that if the application is outside the folder and in the folder, it should still return from where it was enabled, and in the case of the task manager - always to the application itself, not to the folder.

9. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918B
- You have a locked phone with two activities enabled in Now Bar, e.g. Spotify and Clock - after double-clicking on the screen, or clicking the physical lock button to wake up the phone - the Now Bar tablet blinks strangely
- The animation should be checked and adjusted.

10. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918B
- When switching very quickly between the application and the widget, e.g. the clock, it cannot be turned on immediately, but there is a small momentary delay, each time.
- There should be no delay in this case, only the application from the widget should start running immediately.

11. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918B
- It happened to me that instead of Spotify running as a pill in the status bar, there was only a small round icon without any color.
- It shouldn't be like that, it should always be a pill.

12. Galaxy S23 Ultra - SM-918B
- Sometimes it happened to me that Spotify disappeared from my Now Bar - I'm not sure if it also disappeared from the current notifications panel or not, but it definitely needs to be checked.
- As long as Spotify or any other activity that qualifies to be in the Now Bar is in the notifications panel and has not been deleted by the user - it should also be displayed in the Now Bar.

My S23 Ultra is looking absolutely GORGEOUS, after adding and changing to the new widgets ❤
