Yeah I might give it a go, someone on another forum mentioned an issue with google pay but I use my watch for that. I will do a backup later and give it a go.

That's right Google Pay doesn't work. had that on my Note 10. not a big deal.

it was one thing I was jealous over being in the US is that Samsung is first with anything in the international countries. And UK models especially BTU is one the top ones Samsung goes to .

Yeah, all seems fine so far, not tried Google Pay yet but I will update when I do.
The update took around 10% of my battery from start to finish, oh the joys of Exynos.

 

[evohicks]

So early findings are more battery usage today, around 10% more than usual, I shall report that to Samsung for starters.

 

[Lawrie Sherratt]

Away at the moment but will pull the trigger on Friday and test out over the weekend.

 

[evohicks]

Generally I'm liking the new One UI 4 and Android 12, not had chance to try Google Pay yet but everything else seems OK, there's lots of features that I've not even tried yet.
The only negative that I have observed so far is slightly more battery usage, not an issue for me but maybe for other Exynos users, this maybe different again for Snapdragon users.

 

[Lawrie Sherratt]

Right. Love this One UI 4 and Android 12. Google pay not working but that's what I expected. Thought Google would have sorted this especially as its a Google Beta programme. Will report on battery life soon.

 

[Lawrie Sherratt]

Samsung pay working. Just paid with it.

 

[evohicks]

I haven't found any other issues yet, still haven't tried G Pay, I like the option in battery settings to restrict full charge to 85% to keep battery healthy.

Overall it seems very smooth.

Just got the 2nd beta on my unlocked 20 ultra on Verizon (ZUKA) and it now shows the esim option. I had some screen flickering at times on the 1st beta so hopefully this fixes some of that. December 1st security pack as well.
