I want to give a fair try to the beta software and will like to try it like if the phone was new.
Is it possible or will go back to 5.0 after the factory reset

I factory reset my phone during early beta so once you enroll and install the beta on your device the only way to go back to one UI 5 is a roll back, meaning that a factory reset won't remove the beta software

Hello,

You need to withdraw from the beta from Samsung Members -> Settings -> One UI Beta Program Status -> Withdraw. Then plug the phone into your PC, open up the PC version of smart Switch. Be sure to back up your phone since downgrading requires a factory reset. We recommend you try backing up your device and performing a master before moving back to Android 14.

Well. Is not totally true samsung moderator.
I did this but never worked.
You can still have the beta on samsung members. You don't have to unenrol or withdraw.

If you go to smart switch on pc backup and downgrade , this is what you need to go back on one ui 5.1 .
Or use ODIN if you're expert . Sorry samsung but this is how is working.

Of course you will log in in samsung members you will see the banner one ui 6 beta enrolled, and maybe you will be able to install again if you want . Or just wait for the latest one ui 6 .
Even if you didt withdraw from beta .
The real reason you want to withdraw if you don't want anymore the beta, but if yiu want the beta in the future, I mean after a week
Don't withdraw, just go to smart switch and downgrade. Easy. .
Now after a week you will still able to install beta
