Please reconsider which devices get beta version of latest OneUI first. A series would be better (along with current supporting devices like S21, flip 3, etc.) as it has sufficient or enough specs to handle beta builds smoothly and for the below mentioned reasons. E.g. A52s with Snapdragon 778g.

Reasons:
1. People who own S21 Series, Fold 3 or Flip 3 are most likely not going to be tech nerds. These are those busy people who don't have time to test beta versions and give some feedback over it. In fact, they won't bother to install beta version at all, as there is some possibility of getting stuck because of some bug while doing some important work. Why would they risk that?

2. S21, fold 3 or flip 3 are expensive devices. I personally wouldn't install beta version as it might create some problem with my device. Ofc, you would have taken care of that before releasing the beta. But still I won't.

3. Now, nerds who just want to test beta versions without caring much about getting some problem with their device are mostly likely be having A or M series devices. These people are most willing to test beta builds and give feedback as much as possible. You will get more bug reports, feature requests, suggestions than from people who own s21, etc.

4. After getting some stability you can then release the beta build to the flagship phones so they won't be having major problems.

5. Low risk involved. More, better and quick feedbacks as now the audience will be much larger active.

I agree with you. But what about F series users. They also wanna test the beta.

A series because it's Samsung's premium budget series. Infact A series is basically budget version of S series. A series users pay that little extra for same specs you could buy a M series device at. For that little extra, I think it'll worth it.

Bro you understoodit wrong. I am askingabout F series users cause there're some good F series phones too that can handle beta very well like F62 and F42 5g, so if they provide beta for F series too it will be great 😁.

And they should give betas to midrange devices as there are many people ready to test it properly and give proper feedbacks

Last year they gave it to m 31.
But beta was available for only 500 m 31 users.
They opened survey and m 31 useres registered with samsung account and as soon as 500 people registered survey was over and they got beta update in settings.
I think this year also we might get

Yes only 500
Samsung gave beta update to m 31 but not m 51 because last year it was the most sold and used phone in India.
This year the most sold phone will get beta in November.
