Yeah I got impatient too. 

So I changed my CSC to THL, OTA updated to OneUI 6, changed CSC back to XSA and then factory reset. Here's my impression:

The good:
- A lot of Samsung apps now can be uninstalled
- UI elements in the Settings app look nicer
- System animations feel smoother
- Battery feels same / slightly better
- Mostly nice UI changes

The bad:
- Some pre-installed Google apps and apps in general can't be uninstalled (I thought this was the whole point of A14)
- Some UI elements look inconsistent (not a fan of the new font, liked the older combo better)
- 'Confirm PIN without OK' missing
- Icons look HUGE in some places (not a fan)

The takeaway:
I really want to downgrade back. I like a lot of things from OneUI 5.1 better. You all need to just be patient and wait till it arrives. You're seriously not missing out on much. Cheers!

Note: we will not be officially getting the "BWJM" build of OneUI but the "BWK4" version. So when you guys receive the update, it will be the "BWK4" version, which should be the better one.

Though it's a way of getting hands on the new software, it's not recommended by Samsung as it could brick your device, all it takes is one wrong step or a bug in the software.

Font I don't care for as you can customise it anyway

I've never felt the battery so I dunno what you mean

Their perception of how long the battery lasts. Users often expect new software to be power hungry.

Patience is the virtue 😌

Changing CSC isn't necessary, nor is it the safest method.

PIN with OK is on mine and works.
Try changing the font to Roboto if you don't like the new font.

Who officially said we will get the newer build BWK4?

"Changing CSC isn't necessary, nor is it the safest method."

Correct and correct. Hence why I didn't post any how to guides.

"PIN with OK is on mine and works.

I'm taking about PIN "withOUT" OK. It's not there. I'm using SamsungOne

"Who officially said we will get the newer build BWK4?"

None officially that I know of. The CheckFirm app shows the latest as BWK4 so that's the one likely being released, skipping BWJM

Ahh my bad, I read it wrong.
It's been a long day 😅

Regarding BWK4, yeah I noticed that as well, but I thought you had confirmed it, either working for a Telco or knowing someone who does.

I just flashed the whole rom, yeah it's a much bigger download, but it's easier (I think).

Yeah no stress mate hahaha. NZ has gotten their hands on BWJM by the looks. Optus outage today hopefully doesn't affect testing.
