So I flashed my t-mobile 986u to u1 and then updated to this beta. I had e sim setup and as stated before u1 does not support e sim. After a short phone call with t-mobile there able to disable e sim and re-enable my physical Sim. Now everything is working perfectly as it should!

The new beta worth it? Debating if I want to do the same to my unlocked note 20 ultra thats currently on tmobile firmware for the esim.

Suttle changes, but I haven't noticed anything missing. Search on YouTube "note 20 Android 12 beta". There's a video showing some of the new features. Just be sure to change back to physical sim or you can't make calls or send texts since ther is no esim option.

5 minutes later, the OTA was pushed
