because Samsung wanted you to purchase S26 series / A57 / A37 which all have One UI 8.5 ready

so longer One UI 8.5 Beta will drive more people to buy current gen phone and above phone will feel more exclusive since only they have One UI 8.5 ready

That's litterally the marketing strategy for Samsung. So they'll have more S26 series' sales.

There were leaks by Tarun Vats that a 9th beta could happen in April 10 and a 10th beta on April 20. Until then, we won't be expecting stable rollout not after April 20. It's going to be a long wait especially for an A series user 💀 💀 💀 💀

Well, well, well... this might be like the "One UI 6.1 -> 7 upgrade" (due to its infamous long delays), but it's litterally the 2nd time in history.

what’s funny is I never learn from last year 💀 I really thought after they got so much hate for delaying the update from UI 7 to UI 8, they wouldn’t do it again—but yeah, here we are 😭

and yeah, I agree… it really feels like they’re still building hype around the newer models so they look extra “premium.” meh 📱
