Samsung have started rolling out the Android 14, One UI 6.0 Beta test firmware to the Fold4, F936B, devices on stock CSC code EUX that have enrolled in their Beta programme in the Samsung Members app.

Build = F936BXXU4ZWJ4

Download = 3081.45 MB

Camera version = 14.0.00.28

Security patch = 01 October 2023

N.B. Because beta test releases are not certified, you will find that things like Google Wallet, banking apps and Goodlock may not work until there is a stable release.

Samsung have historically not used major Android and One UI updates to add new features and stick to following the new stock Android update with their One UI overlay and some minor tweaks. Rather, they leave any new features to their ?.1 or ?.1.1 updates which is where we will see any new goodies as usual. They do this to roll out the new Android update as quickly as possible to various phones and this then allows them more time to work on new features for individual devices.

The only issue I have come across so far is the same one I had on the Fold5 when I moved up to Android 14, One UI 6.0 and that is I have had to remove the same two third party apps that have not been updated by their developers in the Google Play Store. I have emailed them both and hopefully they will make them compatible with Android 14 in the near future... or they're history! 😉

This is a common problem when moving from one Android platform to a newer one and inevitably we will see users blaming it on the firmware update.

So far all stable, only annoyance is the amount of dead space, after the top row to the top of the screen
