Samsung's plan for releasing its software updates is experiencing some issues. A recent report indicates that the One UI 7 beta program, based on Android, has been delayed once more. Initially anticipated to be available in August, the beta program is now expected to be postponed to September.
Ongoing Delays
The delay seems connected to Samsung's current deployment of One UI 6.1.1, which is also facing an indefinite delay. According to SamMobile, the company intends to release One UI 6.1.1 more widely before beginning the One UI 7 beta. However, details about the One UI 6.1.1 release remain unclear.
Samsung has only formally announced the update for the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. Nevertheless, SamMobile reports an expansion to “more countries,” leaving users in other areas unsure of when they will receive the update.
Unclear Rollout
Adding to the confusion, SamMobile claims that the One UI 6.1.1 update has started for the Galaxy A34, but there is no solid evidence to support this. SamMobile did share a screenshot showing the Galaxy A34 getting Circle to Search support via an update, but the OS version in the update is One UI 6.1, not One UI 6.1.1.
Samsung usually announces major One UI updates through press releases before the rollout. Currently, there has been no official news regarding One UI 6.1.1, leaving many questions unanswered.
Looking Ahead
Despite the lack of official confirmation, launching the One UI 7 beta in September seems plausible. Likewise, it’s probable that Samsung will soon start the One UI 6.1.1 rollout. However, without concrete details, these reports should be taken cautiously.
