One Ui 6 Beta device limitations

[mbrett]

Any chance anyone can advise if this version of the S23 Ultra in the UK will be permitted to run the One UI 6 beta?

Service provider software version SAOMC_SM-S918B_OXM_EVR_13_0009 EVR/EVR,EVR/EUX/EVR

Phone is UK, in UK with UK sim

It shows EUX 3 times, so you might be right. Not much I can do about it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unlocked or unbranded. One is that you can use another mobile phone provider sim and the other is having nothing but EVR in the Service Provider software version which means it has original Samsung software and not service provider specific (ie Vodafone, EE, I etc.) software.

Also, pretty much all banks support Samsung Pay off you get a free Samsung Pay card as it sits as the middle man between your back card and the app. Had other bandits too. Provided by Curve.

Branded is down to the service provider software and not the company you bought from as sometimes companies will provide unbranded handsets when asked specifically. You have to be very clear with them as to what you want at point of purchase. Got unbranded from Vodafone in the past, but not managed it for a long time.

thanks for clarifying 😁

EUX = European Union. May be good for the beta

Hopefully. We'll see what happens.

I checked this with my bank customer care dept and they informed me that they have stopped supporting Samsung pay so any new cards won't work they said they were focussing on Google and IOS and not supporting any more apps at this stage and they said other banks are moving in same direction so I presume it's to save costs but worth checking with your own bank to make sure

Natwest never opened up to Samsung Pay app, but if you get a Samsung Pay card via Curve you can associate it to your Natwest account/card and associate the Samsung Pay card with the Samsung Pay app.
