Samsung launched the One UI 7 beta program for S 24 series on 18th Nov 2024. The Company started it and forgot about it. There were no updates.
After much more discussions on beta forums about the nature of the beta program and the absense of any updates, and after the launch of S25 series, Samsung started giving updates in a half hearted and relaxed manner.
As you can see in the screenshot, till now 5 beta updates have been released during last 5 months. It means One update per month.
Can you really call it a beta program, where the software needs to be tested by the beta testers and has to be made stable by correcting the bugs which are observed by the users, on a frequent and timely basis?
Using beta software has its own problems for the users. Frequent observance of bugs, battery draining, heat generation, limitation on usage of some applications, etc lead to a suboptimal experience for the beta tester. Using such beta software for a long period of 5 months, on your flagship device is really a punishment, dear Samsung!
Just for the attraction of using a new software the beta testers are kept in a limbo by the Samsung company for last 5 months and there is no any plausible explanation from the company for this delay. And the story is still going on...
I think Samsung has seriously messed up its software update performance now.
If you ask me to participate in any next beta program, I think I will surely say NO, THANK YOU! And I think, most of the beta testers will reciprocate the same.
Samsung, wish you all the best! Get well soon!π
