I was doing all good with this device with one UI 5. 
I was checking different videos on one UI 6 and was really excited about the update.

But now, I would say that it's become a nightmare for me. I am never a heavy user of the phone. 

Below are a few listed issues that I noticed so far:

1. Dramatic fall on battery 
2. Network issues (sometimes mobile data network goes blind even if my '4g/5g' sign is shown on the notification panel. 
3. SOT checking has become a task for analytic specialists. Previously, it was easy to check my usage/SOT based on the last 100% of the charge. But now, Oh My God! I am not a specialist to understand these graphs. And it has become too complex to understand. 
4. I use to switch between different keyboards. Previously, there was an option on the notification panel to change the default keyboard. Now, it's gone. 
5. I have customised the timing for 'Eye comfort shield' which is set to turn on and off on specific time. Now, it doesn't work. Though it's still like the earlier ui version, I need to do it manually. 
6. A few apps started behaving weird. They don't work properly until I close them and start it again.
7. A big bug with 'recent task manager' option. Sometimes, it's like list, sometimes grid view. I put it on 'grid view', but mostly, it's list. 

If anyone with such issues, please do suggest me some ways to get rid of them.

I am yet to get one ui 7. The hype I have seen from renowned techtubers wish to feel it in my s23u. With every update, I feel like going down and down, and the funny part is every update comes with a front line of improved user experience 😂

hopefully the ui 7 pans out for the best on older devices I been thinking samsung may have did a huge mistake rolling out 14 ui 6 early last November 2023 2 1/2 b4 the s24u was announced or even to get or preorder that 14 ui 6 messed with my s23u on the camera badly just 20 mins before I was fine on 13 ui 5 thats why I preordered my s24u and lucky I got it 5 days later in  February around the 5 th I can't quite remember the s25u funny funny I call it the iPhone 25 ultra 🤣
