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.

When you play with settings remember that there are individual settings for apps in different countries or regions.sometimes this is good. You may have a black market phone and it won't install Australian software as Samsung Australia will only update Australian phones. If you use a VPN from a black/ grey purchased phone and VPN into Australia and then update through Goople Play Store you well succeed in getting the updates you want. But this dicey in particular with finance apps which have greter security and more complex security problems.

This post is about phones bought correctly but if black grey phones are part of the issue you have extra problems, different bands and frequencies installed, gov't rules restricting sales. If a phone works it may be limited to some bands and therefore limited coverage, especially for 5G.
