Samsung has recently released the seventh One UI 6 Beta to the Galaxy S23 series. However, it looks like that company has not done yet, the One UI 6 Beta 8 could be released to the Galaxy S23 users before commencing the Stable version’s rollout.
With the One UI 6 Beta 7, Samsung improved several functions and OS stability to deliver a better user experience. Meanwhile, users report that there are still some problems in the latest One UI build, which must be resolved in the Beta Program itself.

Similarly, the South Korean tech giant doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to begin the Stable One UI 6 rollout. Do note that the company has yet to address consumers’ complaints regarding the animations in its Android 14-powered One UI skin.
Hence, we could see a One UI 6 Beta 8 rollout to the Galaxy S23 series. As of now, the fresh test build version is ZWJE, which might change with future builds after testing. The company might also distribute an incremental/hotfix release to address certain issues.
LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.
TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.
As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.
LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.
As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.
