So, Samsung have confirmed a One UI7 Beta launch for S23 Series devices and they have confirmed it will be WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH. This is confirmed by Samsung in their press release this week. It doesn't matter what other websites say, Samsung.com and the newsroom is the only official place for news.
First - whether your device is eligible or not is nothing to do with it being unlocked.......
Got your device from
www.samsung.com? Your device MAY be eligible but not every device is invited.
Got your device from a network carrier, amazon, online other than from
www.samsung.com then it is almost certain your device will NOT BE ELIGIBLE. (Why? Because carriers add their own software, optimisations and apps and these do not form part of beta - you'll have to wait for stable release).
There is no point complaining either to Samsung Customer Services or on here if your device is not eligible or you don't see the banner. There is NOTHING they can do to add your device.
If your lucky enough to have an eligible device and have been selected, and if you want to use beta software for the right reasons, you'll soon see a banner in the Samsung Members App. Follow the instructions......
BETA SOFTWARE CARRIES RISKS.
Please do not sign up if you simply want One UI7 before everyone else. That isn't the purpose of beta. You need to be willing to test, provide feedback, update and provide feedback throughout the beta programme.
Use Google Wallet? Usually this won't work in beta so again if this is important to you, DON'T install beta.
Some apps won't work, may experience issues. In rare cases, your device may stop functioning in some areas. So if it this important to you, DON'T install beta.
If you NEED certainty that your device will work 24/7 and you cannot be without it, DON'T install beta. Please only install beta if you're prepared to be a tester and not just because you want One UI7.
