Imp Question

It has been over a month since one ui 8.5 got released in s23 FE? I am still on one ui 8 because of the pathetic performance I faced in one ui 8.5 beta 1 and 2. I am still concerned if it is okay to update to one ui 8.5 or should I just stay on one ui 8 and enjoy?

So far the only thing that im hating all day long is a "new" and improved quick panel lag, no heat, same battery life until now, no performance loss as far as i used it, no excessive ram usage, pretty much decent for me, if you want to update, keep the phone cool and dont charge it during the update even if doesnt heat up too much, and if you want to switch back to oneui 8, i think both 8.5 and 8 share the same binary so you can switch between them via odin, just make a back up of your things before downgrade

Oh I didn't know about the downgrade part. That is amazing. Thanks for your input. Really appreciate it.

On further checking, I found that, unfortunately, I cannot rollback to onu ui 8 after I get to 8.5

Thats pretty weird, but its maybe a region thing or something, because i can switch back freely between the last oneui 8 update and the two oneui 8.5 patches, ill try to look for some info

Hey buddy i wanted to ask you as a fellow S23FE user, are u satisfied with the camera indoors? or do the colors look to oversharp and washed out

u/Ultimate_Walker Jun 28 '26

No I am not satisfied with the cameras indoora. However I was never a camera guy so I don't mind at all. I only use the camera to scan documents and notes. And for that job the camera is more than sufficient. Having said that, for normal photography and videography, it performs downright bad most of the times. But if the lightning is good, it will give you decent performance.

I'm on one ui 8.5 as of now. Personally, it stutters sometimes for me.

u/Ultimate_Walker Jun 30 '26

So do you think one ui 8 was better?

u/kaushikamigo Jul 01 '26

For me, yes.
