Why Samsung has delayed the One UI 7.0 beta program?
Samsung aims to ensure that the One UI 7.0 update is as stable as possible before starting the One UI 7.0 beta program. This focus on stability might be in response to previous updates where users experienced issues like battery drain, animation lag, and overheating. By carefully testing the alpha build internally, Samsung intends to minimize bugs in the beta version, providing a smoother experience for participants.
According to serious discussions on social media and within Samsung’s official community, the One UI 7.0 is expected to introduce significant design changes, new functionalities like a revamped camera UI, support for satellite connectivity, and enhancements to the user interface, including a possible split notification panel. These require additional time for development and integration.
