Beta Program intends to offer early access to software in development. Smartphone vendors usually conduct Beta testing activity of their new software skins. The purpose is to test the upcoming changes while they are under development voluntarily. Unsurprisingly, Beta builds have some functional issues and problems and Samsung One UI 7 is also rumored to have a buggy start.

According to IceUniverse, One UI 7 Beta may be buggy at the start. It’s not a concerning case as Beta firmware is only for testing purposes. Galaxy users don’t need to worry about it as Samsung already scheduled a public rollout in early 2025.

The tipster notes that the latest One UI 7 Beta build is ZXKB. It has bugs in animation that seemingly appeared in the final testing phase. Notably, the Beta Program hasn’t yet officially kicked off for any Samsung device.

One UI 7 Beta may not be launched smoothly, and there are too many bugs. Even in the latest version of XKB, there are still bugs in animation, and they are new bugs.
There are too many things that Samsung has fallen behind in recent years. It is very difficult for them to make up…

One UI 6 Beta had many issues related to animation and system fluency. The company took about two months to address severe problems. This time, things won’t be that bad as rigorous testing is already underway at Samsung labs.

It’s mid-November and Galaxy S25 series debut is rumored for late January. It’s officially confirmed that Samsung will introduce the One UI 7 during the Galaxy Unpacked. Later on, Galaxy consumers will start receiving the update.

One UI 7 – Peak customization

Samsung’s Android 15 update could bring heavy customization abilities. The sections of the Quick Settings panel could be positioned as per user convenience. The brightness slider and volume bar section’s position can be changed.

Good Lock will also be upgraded with improved modules and plugins. Home Up is rumored to come with an animation tuning feature. Galaxy users can apply iOS and stock Android-inspired animations through Good Lock.

Today, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy A16 5G in Malaysia. The company has recently released the device in the Philippines and the UK. It comes with a nice set of specifications, while the price decision makes it a great deal to consider.

Samsung is offering a free 25W travel adapter worth RM89, a free 128GB SD Card worth RM79 and a 1-year extended warranty worth RM99. The phone comes with a price tag of RM899 for 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant.

The company notes that the new Galaxy A16 5G brings stunning improvements, combining immersive visuals, sleek designs, and secure, reliable experiences. It is available in a range of premium colors – Gold, Light Green, and Blue Black.

Samsung’s new Galaxy A16 5G adopts a signature design, featuring refined, rounded corners and a linear camera lens layout. It sports a 6.7″ FHD+ sAMOLED display, which offers crispy colors and detail-filled experiences.

The phone has a sleeker design, with a thinner body measuring just 7.9mm. The streamlined bezels further emphasize the display, helping users better immerse in content and gameplay while enhancing the overall screen size and visual experience.

The Key Island provides a sleek look and feel, contributing to an easy and intuitive grip. It’s IP54-rated for dust and water resistance. You also get a complete two-year warranty, protecting your device from any manufacturing defects.

You get the latest Android 14-based One UI 6 pre-installed, which packs many useful features. The new devices come with 6 generations of Android OS updates and 6 years of security updates, ensuring your device stays safe and up to date.

Samsung Galaxy S25 could come with 12GB RAM and Snapdragon 8 Elite. Qualcomm’s fastest processor with increased RAM will offer epic experiences. That would make the Galaxy S25 the most powerful Android flagship out there.

12GB RAM

The decision to equip the standard Galaxy S25 with 12GB RAM shows that Samsung is making a bold comeback to the segment. While Chinese phone makers reach up to 24GB of RAM, Samsung’s flagship will be a beast with 12GB RAM.

Notably, the recent small flagships by Samsung use 8GB of RAM. Premium phones launched in 2022 and later support Galaxy AI. As the Gemini Nano integrated into the S24 series, Samsung may have clinched the need for more RAM.

Upping the RAM by 4GB would make a great impact on overall performance. The chipset will have more RAM to operate functions across the OS. Galaxy AI will also introduce faster processing and seamless functioning.

Snapdragon 8 Elite

Samsung Galaxy S25 will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite paired with 12GB RAM in South Korea. It means the smartphone will have the same processor in all markets. The suspense over the chip decision is almost over, with Snapdragon exclusivity likely across all models.

In particular, the Galaxy S25’s Snapdragon chip has two primary cores clocked at 4.47 GHz and 6 performance cores clocked at 3.53 GHz. However, it would be interesting to see how Samsung manages to keep the phone cool in excessive usage.

On the software end, the Galaxy S25 series will have Android 15-based One UI 7.1. Many new Galaxy AI features and radical improvements across functionalities are likely to be introduced along with the new flagship phones next year.

A Korean media outlet reported that the South Korean tech giant could hold an Unpacked event on January 23 next year. The venue is likely to be San Francisco, hence, the date would be January 22 in the United States.
