What if there’s no public One UI 7.0 Beta Program this year?

The first official announcement on Samsung’s Android 15 optimization may come tomorrow. SDC24 is taking place in the US, and what if Samsung refrains from starting public One UI 7.0 Beta Program this year?

Samsung could skip the public One UI 7.0 Beta Program this year. Google has done with optimizing Android 15 for Pixel devices. The Beta trial has already jumped to QPR sessions, with Pixel users getting a Stable update this month.

One UI 6 Beta started in August last year, with a Stable release happening in October. Things are just different this year, as we don’t even have One UI 7’s Beta build. Well, it doesn’t mean Samsung hasn’t done anything in the past few months.

We assume Samsung may have been conducting One UI 7 Beta internally – on a large scale. Rigorous testing would have been underway intending to push the Beta Program on a small scale or keep it to limited models and users.

Android 15 is delayed

Pixel 9 series launched with Android 14, rather than the latest Android 15. The Made by Google event was already held ahead of its usual October timeframe. The company kept the Android release in October but launched the Pixel 9s early.

It is said that Android 15 had some severe issues that may ruin the experience. Google released four major Beta updates, but the Stable release hasn’t taken place so far. Android’s delay has impacted Samsung’s optimization for Galaxy devices.

iOS 18 update is available

Apple, as usual, deployed this year’s major OS upgrade on eligible iPhones. Apple Intelligence features will come out gradually. However, iPhone users are happy with the latest optimizations and features available in iOS 18.

Vivo rolling out Android 15

Vivo defeated Google in the Android 15 rollout race this year. The Chinese firm scheduled to start the release on September 30, but pushed even earlier. As per Vivo’s roadmap, a handful of more smartphones will be updated this month.
