An entire cast of new default characters, and an updated Alex & Steve have been introduced in this beta. However, they're made with the character creator, even though they were all based on skins. This causes a bunch of visual issues and mismatches, some more severe than others.
Common issues within all of them:
Less saturated skin and hair;
Loss of skin detail, mainly around the forehead;
Inconsistent contrast between different shades of the same color.
Character specific issues:
Alex: Doesn't match the updated Java Edition design in the skin details, pants and boots, skin color is too light.
Noor: Skin tone is too grayish, eyes aren't dark enough;
Ari: Skin tone looks sunburnt;
Sunny: Skin tone is too dark and reddish ("Medium light - Deep" skin tone would be more accurate);
Makena: Skin tone is bordering gray, mouth is reddish;
Efe: Mostly the common general issues;
Zuri: Most severe case of loss of skin detail, brighter skin shades are desaturated and have too little contrast.
Kai: Mostly the common general issues;
Steve: Doesn't match the updated Java Edition design at all.

Doesn't MCPE-163383 describes this issue?
Can also confirm. I originally thought it was just Steve that looked off. I had no idea it was all of them.
Can confirm, characters are very visually different from their pictures.
