Could Google be Holding Back One UI 7

Glenntech — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 15:05:28 GMT

Interesting article and one subject that I was talking about to a couple of friends some days ago.

It's quite conceivable that Google just isn't ready yet for so many devices to go online so quickly to the Gemini AI servers.

Makes sense with the amount of phones that Samsung sells every year.

Wouldn't be the first time ordinary people are left hanging on waiting by big tech firms. Well any big name company really. I read something for the end of March. It's just ridiculous now.

I do think Samsung need to make some sort of statement now about this. It's ridiculous. Constant different stories daily, apparently there is gonna be 6 betas in total but how can that even be a thing when 4 isn't even out yet and been tested. Hearing end of April ect, all sorts

I very much doubt it's Google holding it up. I think Samsung have got themselves in a hole over this.

Well the S24 Ultra has a very stable One UI 7 Beta. Can't see what hole they could possibly be in.
To me it was stable enough to bring out. All baring a few refinements which can easily be done with software updates.
Me personally this story seems the more plausible theory out of the speculation.
Samsung won't say anything until they are ready to anyway.
Simply put that they don't have to

Yeah lots of speculation. It's slow story time in tech news at the moment

It's all speculation.

Exactly

Well. I'm not surprised.

1. Google will be looking to sell their AI subscription.

2. Deepseek apparently doesn't work as well as overload almost crashed it.

3. There is only so much Free AI companies can dish out.

Their are not charities and have to earn money from somewhere.

One UI7 has to work flawlessly between Samsung and Google apps . It takes time.

People need to either learn to wait or get out and get the latest stuff.

Its.not like their phones have shut down and stopped working.

Stuff gets delayed. So do planes whom people shell out crazy money .

My 4 year old S21ultra Exynos still.rocks.

Enjoy your phones people. Enjoy them.

ENJOY THEM 🔥

All good things take time.

It will come........

......to be continued.❤

How do you have a 4yr old s24ultra when it only came out in 2024?

I'm doubtful. It's not like you can't install Gemini on older Samsung devices with OneUI 6.1 right now.

Re: Re: Could Google be Holding Back One UI 7

Glenntech — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 22:59:14 GMT

That's very true. On iPhone as well.
But they are a sort of lite version.
One UI 7 has a very deep integrated version of Gemini and other AI features.
Plus with Gemini premium being free for six months on the S25 series. Google will obviously prioritise the Pixel phones first.
Thing is it's all speculation anyway. But this seems more plausible some how
But I do think there's definitely an issue between Google and Samsung that they are trying to sort out
Will have to see when it all comes out later on

I don't think there's any fundamental differences. Asking Gemini, states all the cloud based functions are the same on the older Samsung devices as the S25 series. The only differences are performance with things like generative AI.

Even if this is the case, the right thing for Samsung to do is at least release a statement to say they haven't forgotten about phone users of previous models and they are working hard on releasing a stable version of One UI 7. The problem here is there is a lot of speculation, which seems to be frustrating a lot of Samsung. Personally, I'm happy to wait for One UI 7 and I'm happy with what I currently have. But a lot of customers really would like the new release and simply don't want to resort to a new model to get this.

Hi, I'm not sure if Alphabet might be holding it back, As if I know, Alphabet only owns Google. And Google owns android. So Samsung would either state this,

Google Website: Google.com
Alphabet website: abc.xyz
