Samsung, on the other hand, unquestionably leads the global smartphone market, but with just the highest number of units shipped. Consumers who have a budget of over $500 prefer buying iPhone over Galaxy.
Apart from Ultra, the base Galaxy S23 is listed as seventh after the iPhone 14 Plus, while iPhone 12 was the ninth most-sold premium phone in the same duration. Samsung’s latest flagships were released in February, while the iPhone 14 landed last September, still, sales numbers are not favoring the S23 line.

Samsung has not yet started the One UI 5 Watch Beta Program. As there are still two days remaining in the month, the company may begin the trial anytime for Galaxy Watch 4 and 5.

In order to participate in the Samsung One UI 5 Watch Beta program, you will need to agree to send diagnostic data at the subscription stage. Without ticking the sign, you won’t be able to sign up for the Beta activity, leading you to wait until late 2023 to get new features of the OS.
However, you can turn this setting off by following the path in the Galaxy Wearable app: Watch settings > Watch information > Legal information > Sending diagnostic data to Samsung. Even with this setting set as OFF, you can still keep and use Beta software.
Regardless, the company recommends setting it as ON, because the diagnostic data is only used for finding problems and improvement points of Beta software. Now, it’s up to you whether you want to share the device’s diagnostic data with Samsung or not.
