S25 has stable one UI 7 since January and now we have to wait more weeks to get it on last year's flagship? Samsung is the only major android flagship from last year still running android 14 pretty pathetic. Won't be buying Samsung again. Not to mention they basically lead us on leaving us entirely in the dark until the very last minute just to release another beta. Samsung is worse than apple.

      My S24 Ultra says it's running Android 15, and that was before the beta if I recall

      Update delivery this year has become a joke. Android 16, beta is already out, and yet we don't even have a date for A15 stable.

      Outside looking in... It seems to me that Samsung's strategy going forward is going to be marginal hardware upgrades, minimal aesthetic changes, and withholding new software features from the previous year's flagship.

      So Apple, basically.

      Galaxy AI was released in January with the S24 series, but didnt arrive on the S23 until March. I would anticipate a similar timeline here.

      It's not just about the newer Galaxy AI features. One UI 7 also includes the latest Android 15, which was released on October 15, 2024. Android 16 is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2025, yet we still don't have Android 15. While many of the key features of the latest Android version are available on Samsung phones, the development team’s performance has been disappointing this time.

      Only reason why there's going to be another beta (4) is to give time for the s25 sales. Its a marketing tactic. If other devices had stable Android 15 people would not be amp to go buy the s25. If you look at the change log for the next beta update you will notice that the only change is the color scheme. Samsung is the only manufacturer that has not rolled out stable Android 15. Again, its a marketing tactic to push the s25 which is not far better then the s24. S25 may be slightly faster but you wont notice it and the downgrade of the spen has a lot of users detered.

      What really amazes me is how many people are getting upset over a perceived delay in a cell phones operating system update.

      Out of principal, I won't be getting the 25U.
      Marginal update with the new chip that every other Android manufacturer will have.
      Downgrade of the sPen, completely unnecessary.
      Software development and deployment do cost money but nothing really ground breaking.

      Add to all if this, the marketing tactic of holding out on the previous year flagship models and delaying the release of features and updates, is just deplorable.

      So, if you got the 25U, enjoy your phone.
      If you are keeping your 24U, enjoy your phone.

      Message to Samsung, you won't always be the only game in town. One Plus is on the rise. Maybe Google. Others too, if folks are willing to import.
      So, don't rest on your laurels.
      You are not Apple. Android users have choices.
      Stop playing games.

      Hello,

      Thank you all for your valuable feedback. 

      We understand your frustration, and we appreciate you sharing your concerns. The goal of the One UI Beta Program is to ensure that the final release is as stable and optimized as possible, which sometimes requires additional testing phases. While the S25 series launched with a stable One UI 7, software development timelines for existing devices can differ due to optimizations needed for various hardware configurations.

      We recognize that waiting for the stable update can be frustrating, but Samsung prioritizes delivering the best possible user experience. The additional beta phase helps fine-tune performance, address reported issues, and ensure a smoother rollout for all users.

      We truly appreciate your patience and participation in the Beta Program. Official updates will always be communicated through the Samsung Members app, so please stay tuned for further announcements. If you have any specific feedback or concerns regarding the beta experience, feel free to share—we value your input in shaping the final release.

      Best regards,
      One UI Beta Team

      There's still a beta but they updated home up so now you have the insane customization for the home screen with the beta which is all I was really waiting for

      There was info by someone who is said to be trusted for Samsung leaks and there was a timeline stating we at least s24 won't get it until April with more beta versions coming. While I also heard android 16 beta is out
