November has seen a lot of buzz about Samsung possibly launching its One UI 7 Beta for newer flagship and mid-range models. To summarize, multiple sources have shown that Samsung uploaded One UI 7 beta versions to its testing servers for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 series, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra (currently priced at $949.99 on Amazon).
No Public Release Yet
However, no beta versions have been released to the public to date, at least not that anyone is aware of. With November nearly over, it appears less and less likely that anyone outside of Samsung will be able to test One UI 7 Beta before the month concludes.
Future Timeline for Beta Program
A new rumor suggests that Samsung might take longer than expected to provide the first public preview of its update based on Android 15. Allegedly, the company plans to start its One UI 7 Beta program 'by mid-December', which could mean anytime from the second to the third week of next month.
Limited Availability for Beta
Sadly, this schedule only applies to Samsung's 'Phase 1' countries. As noted by GSMArena, this list includes just Germany, South Korea, and the US. Therefore, Samsung enthusiasts in other regions such as China, India, and the UK might have to wait even longer. Reports indicate that stable One UI 7 versions won't begin to roll out until February 2025, which is just a few months before Google is set to launch Android 16.
