While its Chinese competitors are busy releasing stable Android 15 updates left and right, Samsung is fall behind – bad. The Korean company didn’t even send the message first beta of One UI 7 based on Android 15 on all its devices, a sharp turn backwards compared to the insanely fast update rate of recent years.
Rumor has it that this happened because the company is busy implementing changes that will make One UI 7 the best One UI ever, but still. Anyway, if you’re eagerly awaiting the first beta, an alleged release timeline for One UI 7 was leaked today.
OneUI 7 beta for S24 series starts in December (first week)
The S23 series will last at least 2 to 3 weeks
S22 series don’t know if it will even get a beta this year or not
The S21 series will definitely not get a beta
The beta program lasts 2 months and is expected to be stable in February 🥱
