Why is the One UI 7 Beta Program Not Available in the Middle East?

As a loyal Samsung user in the Middle East, I can’t help but feel left out every time you announce a new One UI beta program. While users in the US, South Korea, and Europe get to experience and test the latest features firsthand, we in the Middle East are consistently excluded. It’s frustrating, and honestly, it feels like our region is being sidelined.

Sure, I understand that every country has its rules about software compliance and data privacy. But Samsung operates in the Middle East and sells millions of devices here. You already comply with these regulations for your finalized updates, so why not.

Samsung has a huge market share in the Middle East. Your phones are everywhere, from the flagship Galaxy S series to the budget-friendly A-series. We’re investing in your ecosystem just like users in the US and Europe. So why does it seem like our voices and feedback don’t matter?

Samsung, it’s time to stop ignoring the Middle East when it comes to beta programs. If it’s about regulations, sort it out. If it’s about localization, invest in it. And if it’s about prioritizing other markets, remember that the Middle East is just as important to your global success.

We deserve the chance to experience One UI updates as they’re being developed. Listen to your users in the Middle East. We’re ready, and we’re waiting.

Sincerely,

A Frustrated Samsung User in the Middle East
