One UI 6 AOD Concept
Back in January 2023, a Samsung fan shared a new concept of One UI 6.0 which is very interesting and useful. The new concept is related to the new feature of Always on Display which is Adaptive AOD.
One UI 6.0 concept shows the Adaptive Always On Display feature and after enabling it you can see your ongoing activity on the lock screen. As you are listening to music, looking at routes on Google Maps, or the timer is on then you do not need to unlock your smartphone when it is locked as you can see your ongoing tasks on the Always On Display.

Samsung Reminder 12.4.02.600 update now available for One UI devices
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and One UI 5.1 software deliver an exceptional experience on the Galaxy S23 flagships. One UI 5.1 is the smoothest Android skin of Samsung, but scrolling the Galaxy Store app is the worst experience, for some Galaxy S23 users.

According to reports, the display refresh rate drops below 60Hz while scrolling in Galaxy Store on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. This reduced refresh rate destroys the pro-grade user experience, which is available on other, even third-party applications.
When you scroll the screen in Galaxy Store, you would face stutter (a low refresh rate) on all Galaxy S23 smartphone models. Even, you might head toward system Settings to ensure whether your phone running on Adaptive motion smoothness or not.
It’s worth mentioning that the low refresh rate support for Galaxy Store feels like budget phone usage to the S23 consumers. And probably, it might not be an S23-limited issue, as Samsung’s own app distribution platform doesn’t feel smooth on more Galaxy phones too.
There are also talks that the recent firmware update destroyed Galaxy Store’s scrolling smoothness on the Galaxy S23 series. Anyway, Samsung must look into the matter and re-optimize the Galaxy Store for the latest flagship, custom chipset, and the new One UI 5.1 software.
If you are facing the same issue on your Galaxy S23 phone, try clearing the Galaxy Store cache and user data once, followed by a reboot. It should somehow make the experience better, and as a temporary solution, we suggest you access Galaxy Store only for One UI app updates, as everything is already available on Play Store.
