Next Chapter of One UI 7 Beta: Samsung’s Damage Control Can’t Fool S23, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 Users
Samsung is facing mounting frustration from users due to its lack of transparency and communication regarding its One UI 7 plans. While many Galaxy users are eagerly waiting for the Stable One UI 7 update, Samsung is reportedly preparing to expand the Beta program to the S23 series, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6.
- No clear communication from Samsung has left users frustrated
- Beta expansion could add to the confusion without an official timeline
Disappointment with One UI 7 Update Strategy
Samsung has made strides in software support over the past few years, especially with security updates. However, the company’s strategy with One UI 7 has left millions of loyal Galaxy fans disappointed.
- While security updates are consistent, One UI 7 lacks clarity and commitment for older devices
- S23 series and other older devices are still left waiting for stable updates
The Android 15 and One UI 7 Disappointment
One UI 7 is built on Android 15, which Google launched in October 2024. However, the S24 series is still awaiting the stable update as of February 2025.
- No official timeline has been shared by Samsung regarding the release of One UI 7.
- Rumors suggest there may be no stable update until March 2025.
This delay raises questions about whether older devices like the S23 and S22 series will receive the update anytime soon.
The Shift to Beta Programs and Samsung’s Lack of Transparency
The One UI 6 Beta Program seemed to work well, with Android 14-based One UI 6 rolling out the Stable update by October 2024. But this year, Samsung’s Beta program for One UI 7 started in December 2024, while flagship devices like the S23 series are still waiting for the stable release.
- Stable release delays are causing dissatisfaction among S23, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 users
- One UI 7 Beta expansion has been perceived as an attempt to avoid providing stable updates
Damage Control Plans
With Android 16 expected to roll out by June 2025, and Samsung’s flagships still stuck on Android 14, the company faces serious backlash.
- There is speculation that Samsung is planning for damage control
- Expanding One UI 7 Beta rather than offering a stable release adds to the frustration
The Need for Clarity and Action
Samsung needs to clarify its One UI 7 update plans and provide users with a clear timeline. The lack of transparency has only fueled the frustration and confusion.
- Official communication about the stable release is necessary to prevent further anger from Galaxy users
- Samsung should avoid experimenting with Beta programs and focus on delivering promised updates
It’s time for Samsung to take responsibility and ensure that users can trust the update process moving forward.
