After these Android 15 serious issues, I am glad Samsung delayed the One UI 7.0 beta program
At the beginning of this month, I wrote an article highlighting the advantages of the delayed One UI 7.0 beta program. It now looks like this delay has indeed proven to be beneficial.
By delaying the beta program, Samsung aims to ensure that One UI 7.0 is more stable and bug-free upon release. By doing things this way, the Galaxy users might not run into the problems that other smartphone users are experiencing because they updated to Android 15 too soon. What’s exactly happening?
It appears that the Android 15 update has introduced several issues for some Google Pixel 6 series owners. There have been reports (via Android Police) of Android 15 causing Pixel 6 devices to become completely unresponsive or “bricked.” This means the devices do not function at all after updating Android 15 OS, showing no signs of life even after trying common troubleshooting methods.
After going deep into these reports (via Reddit), these problems are appearing after enabling the Android 15’s Private Space feature. If you are a Pixel device owner, you should now avoid using this feature or even updating to Android 15 until a fix is provided.
As per the latest information, Google hasn’t yet confirmed anything officially about the problem, but it’s likely the company will fix these issues in upcoming updates. Notably, this isn’t the first time that Pixel devices are facing such issues.
These Android 15 issues are teaching Samsung an important lesson. Samsung might be taking its time to make sure they don’t fall into the same traps, keeping its updates from messing up how devices work.
As a beta tester myself, I prefer the delayed beta program over the buggy One UI 7.0 beta build, especially, when we are talking about the bricked device issue.
In the end, while delays can be disappointing for some Samsung Galaxy users, for most, it is time-saving and stress-free.
