Is updating to One UI 6 recommend?

[yeagerist]

Yesterday checked for updates and it's showing one ui 6 is available to download. Is it safe to download the One UI 6? I'm using S23 Ultra.

If you want to try you can install it, but be ready to face less battery backup, some stutters in ui especially when swiping to pip mode if you have youtube premium and some random bugs like in recent task when you clear all background apps it will still show 1 background activity running and when you click that no apps will be shown, but it will go after sometime. So be aware of these consequences.

So how much time should I wait to get a stable update or get rid of these issues?

If the above issue quoted by me doesn't bother you, then you can proceed with installing the update

Every other issues that you have mentioned is fine except the battery backup issue, only for that very reason now I'm a bit hesitant about installing it. That's why I want to know how much time should I wait to get hands on a stable version of one ui 6 or a version in which I don't face these kind of issues especially the less battery backup one.

First of all you can't check screen on time per charge cycle like you check in one ui 5.1 from 100 to 0. Only it will show per day percentage consumed and its screen on time and it will reset at 12 am next day. Secondly you will see a battery backup hit like 5 to 10 percent compared to one ui 5.1. Many will say phone need to reset after upgrading to newer versions, but i installed through smart switch which downloads whole software for s23 ultra and install it. I can feel the battery hit compared to one ui 5.1. Now I regret of updating to one ui 6.
