Australia has one of the highest penetration rates for premium smartphones, that is why the country has not received the One UI 7 beta update. 😂😂😂
A beta version can be unstable, can have vulnerabilities making it more penetrative and easy target for hackers.☠️

It s an interesting perspective! While high smartphone penetration rates in Australia may not directly correlate with the beta program rollout, it’s true that beta versions often come with risks like bugs and vulnerabilities. These can potentially expose devices to issues, including security threats, which could explain why some regions might be excluded. However, Samsung hasn't officially cited such reasons for the delay in making the One UI 7 beta available in Australia
