Samsung is progressing with the development of One UI 7, aiming for a complete overhaul of its smartphones. The project is almost finished. Initially, it was expected that the company would unveil the first beta version of One UI 7 on July 29. However, recent updates indicate that the Korean tech giant has postponed the Android 15 beta. Here’s what we know…
Samsung Delays One UI 7 Beta Due to Ongoing One UI 6.1.1 Update
The release of Android 15-based One UI 7 is imminent. Leaks about Google’s early release of Android 15 have fueled these expectations. Yet, when July 29 came around, it became clear that Samsung has slightly altered its schedule. The delay is primarily due to the ongoing One UI 6.1.1 update.
Samsung has recently launched its next-gen foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Fold 6 and Flip 6. These devices feature Android-based One UI 6.1.1 and advanced AI capabilities. The company is now working to extend these features to more users by rolling out the One UI 6.1.1 update to other models.
Balancing Updates and Avoiding Distractions
While Samsung focuses on distributing the One UI 6.1.1 update, it's also cautious about initiating the Android 15-based One UI 7 beta. The concern is that launching the new beta might divert user attention and lessen the impact of One UI 6.1.1. Moreover, they want to steer clear of any technical hitches.
Reports from early users of One UI 7, describing it as “very problematic,” seem to validate these concerns. It appears that the first Android 15 beta is postponed due to Samsung being heavily involved in current One UI updates.
Future Prospects
Despite the delay, we are hopeful that Samsung will soon make One UI 7 available to its users. As previously mentioned, the upcoming version promises to bring significant design enhancements to Samsung smartphones.
