One UI 7

If I remember correctly, at the end of ONE UI6 Beta, there was a notification stating that was the last in the UI Beta testing program and there would be no more Beta testing. Can anyone confirm please? 

Also there's a rumour that Samsung will be launching a subscription service for AI features, I seriously hope this is not true. Or at least provide some basic AI features and then can add additional for all AI. As currently I see absolutely no need to pay for AI.

Hey there

Thank you for your question.

Yes, for One UI6 there was a message about no more bets testing...... For One UI6.

It did not mean no more bets testing ever on future updates.

AI subscription - Samsung stated at the beginning of this year it's intentions to offer enhanced AI (think Google Gemini in comparison) as a subscription, possibly from 2025. No further details have been released as yet and it did provoke quite a debate on here at the time. Some AI would remain free though but the better and detailed stuff likely to be on subscription.

Thank you for the clarity. Let's hope we don't end up looking at the rabbit holes.

To put in context, Google are charging £18.99 a month for Gemini. Haven't read much about whether they've had much take up. Comes free for a year with Pixel 9 Series devices.

£18.99 a month? They're having a laugh.

Greed is the reason why Google may have to sell Chrome.
