[PSA] All Galaxy S24 won’t get One UI 7 Beta in the US
Samsung is gearing up to kick off this year’s One UI Beta Program. If you are waiting for One UI 7 Beta, do remember that all Galaxy S24 users won’t be eligible for it in the US. The company’s previous distribution strategy signals limited Beta presence.
Over the years, Samsung made significant improvements in its software distribution. The company still faces criticism over a phased rollout, delayed firmware deployment, and limited Good Lock availability. One UI Beta Program also has a controversial spot.
The One UI 7 Beta will be available in the US, but not for all consumers. The company will avail the firmware to carrier-unlocked models in the country. Meanwhile, carrier-locked models are not eligible for the Beta firmware given previous rollouts.
T-Mobile is an exception here.
Despite incompatibility with carrier variants, Samsung and T-Mobile offer One UI Beta trial to Galaxy users. This year as well, the Galaxy S24 series will be eligible to test the Beta alongside unlocked models.
One UI 7 will be based on the new Android 15 operating system. We expect core security enhancements and a crucial privacy boost. The Gemini Nano will also see some upgrades with the new OS resulting in an enhanced AI experience.
Galaxy AI will also add new useful features for compatible devices. This time, the expansion of AI features could not be like the first phase. However, Galaxy users would surely get amazed experiencing the big upgrade to One UI.
Samsung has rolled out the September 2024 security update for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G in Brazil. The update enhances the security and stability of the system to provide a better experience.
September 2024 security update for Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G arrives in Brazil with version G781BXXSDHXI3 and an installation package size of 260MB. This update is already out for users on Verizon network carriers in the US.
The latest update boosts your phone’s performance by fixing several security problems. It addresses 1 critical issue and 43 high-level ones. One of these issues was already fixed in earlier updates, and another one doesn’t impact Galaxy devices.
Along with Google’s patches, Samsung is adding 23 of its own fixes to improve security in My Files, Theme Center, One UI Home, Knox, and Dex.
Users can expect not only enhanced security but also an overall better Galaxy experience. It’s advisable to install it quickly to make the most of these security upgrades. For those eager to update their devices, the process is very easy.

Samsung is actively working to roll out the One UI 6.1.1 update for all eligible Galaxy devices. In the meantime, the company hasn’t overlooked the Samsung Galaxy XCover 5, which is now receiving the One UI 6.1 update. Though this major update was delayed, users of this rugged smartphone can finally take advantage of several new features.
Right now, the One UI 6.1 update for Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 is available in South Korea and it may take a few days or weeks to reach other countries. Users can identify this update by the build number G525NKXUAEXI1.
One UI 6.1 update introduces features for photo and video management, including AI editing suggestions and image copying. Users get new lock screen widgets, customizable alarm alerts, and sticker support in the Calendar app.
Moreover, the update enhances data security with improved Samsung Cloud services and introduces Passkey for quicker sign-ins. Additional enhancements have been made to the Finder, battery settings, weather widget, Health app, and more.
To install the One UI 6.1 update on your smartphone, go to Settings and scroll to the Software Update section. Open it and select ‘Download and Install’ to apply the update if it’s available.
One UI 6.1 is likely to be the last major feature update for the Galaxy XCover 5. It seems that most mid-range Galaxy devices will directly update from One UI 6.1 to the upcoming One UI 7.0, skipping One UI 6.1.1.
