As US users of the Galaxy Z series wait, users of the S24 can begin using the new software by enrolling via the Samsung Members app. The update, bearing firmware version S92xU1UEU4ZYH3, is a hefty 3.25GB download, indicating a significant change. In addition to the core Android 16 updates, this beta introduces numerous new features and enhancements for users. Users will notice a more intuitive design and a cleaner appearance for apps such as Quick Share and an improved Reminder system.
