Samsung's new Android Pie based One UI is currently in beta testing and if you have tried it out and want to switch back to Experience UI, here's how you can do it.

Samsung is working on a new user interface (UI), One UI. The company recently invited Samsung Galaxy Note 9, S9 and S9+ users to try out this new UI based on Google's Android 9.0 Pie operating system under a Beta program. However, beta means that the software will have its share of bugs and issues. If out of excitement you installed Android Pie based One UI beta on your smartphone and now want to go back to the much more stable Experience UI, here's how you can do so.

Prerequisites

Backup your data as this process is going to wipe your smartphone completely.
A USB-Type C cable. It is recommended to use the one that came bundled in your phone's box.
A Windows PC or Mac.
