The latest information (via Ice Universe) suggests the third beta of Samsung One UI 5.0 will improve the animations compared to the current beta version. But the animations will not be fully improved, some issues will still be active such as in the jumping animation. The company may release third One UI 5.0 beta update anytime in the next week for Galaxy S22 smartphones.
One UI Beta 3 has improved a lot. Thank you to the staff. However, there is still an uncomfortable problem, which I call "jump animation". now I say so much , and I will explain it in detail next week's Beta 3.

According to the tipster IceUniverse, Samsung is going to release the third One UI 5 Beta update for Galaxy S22 devices in a few days. With the third One UI 5 beta update, the company will improve the animation compared to the current version but it will only be partially improved, which means that some issues will still be alive such as in the jumping animation.
I saw the animation for the current version of One UI Beta3, it's partially improved, but still has issues, jumping animations, it's a few days away from the release of Beta3, hopefully it continues to improve.

Going forward, the tipster has also revealed that the company will continue to make regular improvements in animation smoothness which means that in the next beta updates [after One UI 5.0 beta 3], animation issues may get resolved.
Earlier, it was reported that the Galaxy S22 series’s third One UI 5.0 Beta update will release this week with improvements in the animation smoothness area. At present, the animation experiences of the One UI 5.0 Beta are too away from perfection and far behind from the One UI 4.1 and One UI 4.1.1.

Samsung’s Android 14 Beta for Galaxy S23 is official in the US

In addition to South Korea and Germany, Samsung has now launched the Android 14-based One UI 6 Beta in the US. Users of carrier-unlocked or T-Mobile branded Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, or S23 Ultra smartphones can now sign up to get the Beta firmware via OTA.
It’s worth mentioning that the One UI 6 Beta is only available for T-Mobile and carrier-unlocked Galaxy S23 models in the US. This means Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular, and other carrier users have no other option than waiting for the official rollout.
One UI 6 Beta comes with a redesigned Quick Panel, which looks stunning and well-crafted for accessibility. The animations are also tweaked but require further optimization as the current situation of transition effects is not up to the mark.
In a recent Newsroom article, the South Korean tech giant confirmed that the One UI 6 Beta is equipped with more new customization capabilities. The design is simple and eye-catching, which will surely enhance the everyday operations of Galaxy devices.
