UI lag after One UI 6.1 update on S23

[Saurtur]

I was really excited and waiting for the big 6.1 update on my S23. Finally the wait is over and as expected there are a bunch of cool new AI features. But to my disappointment I found the animations are a bit laggy. Especially when scrolling and opening new apps. There is no issue within an app. I tried rebooting my phone but that didn't work. Anybody else is facing the same issue?

Same here, my s23 very laggy after 6.1 update :(

[Members_zQgnipv]

Mine also! 

I followed all the instructions provided and still my S23U is lagging. It is really annoying. It does not feel as upgrade.

I hope Samsung will resolve it soon.

Mine too. Feels like an upgrade and a downgrade at the same time

Mine S23 too. Animations are so laggy on the home screen. I don't know what to do. Someone tried factory reset?
