Samsung has always positioned itself as the leader in Android updates, promising faster, longer-lasting software support than its competitors. Yet, as of late February 2025, One UI 7 is still in beta testing, while other brands have already completed their Android 15 rollouts.
Facts That Samsung Cannot Ignore:
1️⃣ Google released stable Android 15 for Pixel devices in October 2024.
2️⃣ OnePlus completed its Android 15 rollout last month, with even its oldest eligible device, the OnePlus 10 Pro, received the update.
3️⃣ Xiaomi, Vivo, and OPPO pushed stable Android 15 updates to their flagships by January 2025.
4️⃣ Samsung is the only major manufacturer still in the beta phase as of February 2025.
5️⃣ Even Google has started early testing for Android 16, yet Samsung has not even finalized One UI 7.
How can the largest Android manufacturer in the world be so far behind the competition?
Samsung is Prioritizing New Phones Over Existing Users
Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 series with One UI 7 in January 2025, yet:
- Galaxy S24 users are still waiting for a stable update.
- Older flagship devices (S23, S22, Z Fold/Flip 5) have no confirmed timeline.
- No official statement from Samsung explaining the delay.
Instead of delivering One UI 7 to existing users, Samsung has shifted focus to optimizing it for the S25 Ultra. Beta testers have confirmed that more bugs are being fixed for the S25 than for older models.
Samsung needs to communicate openly instead of keeping users in the dark.
One UI 7 Beta – Where Are the Features?
Beta 4 of One UI 7 still lacks core Android 15 features, making the update feel incomplete.
🔴 What’s missing?
- No Edge Panels – One UI’s signature multitasking tool has been removed without explanation.
- No Full-Sized Lock Screen Widgets – Available in stock Android 15, but Samsung has not included them.
- No Corner Swipe for Google Assistant – This was removed despite being a basic Android feature.
- Now Brief is missing – Samsung's AI widget is only available on specific models, leaving older devices behind.
🔴 What’s still broken?
- UI glitches in the Quick Panel persist across multiple beta versions.
- Fingerprint sensor responsiveness issues remain unsolved.
- Animations for app transitions are still inconsistent.
Samsung is taking longer than ever to finalize an update that is not even feature-complete.
Other Brands Are Outpacing Samsung
Let’s compare:
Brand Update Speed Feature Completeness Communication
Google Pixel | ✅ Android 15 stable since Oct 2024 | ✅ All features included | ✅ Clear roadmap |
OnePlus | ✅ Finished Android 15 rollout (Jan 2025, OnePlus 10 Pro last in Italy) | ✅ Stock Android 15 features available | ✅ Transparent updates |
Samsung | ❌ Still in beta (Feb 2025) | ❌ Features missing/removed | ❌ No official timeline |
Samsung cannot claim to be a leader in software updates while lagging months behind smaller brands.
Samsung Needs to Fix This NOW
Samsung must immediately address the following issues:
✅ Provide a clear and official One UI 7 release timeline.
✅ Deliver a feature-complete Android 15 update without unnecessary removals.
✅ Stop prioritizing new devices over existing flagship users.
✅ Improve communication and transparency regarding delays.
At this point, Samsung users deserve answers. If competitors can roll out Android 15 on time, why is Samsung, the biggest Android manufacturer, still struggling?

Maybe we were all fooled by Samsung's promises (lies) that we will get 7 years of OS upgrades, and already in the first year Samsung claims that the S24 series is not capable of all the features of the S25 line, maybe we should unite and take Samsung to court. The "proud" owners of the S25 line do not understand at all that this awaits them next year and
I expect from so many renowned Samsung Members Stars to make a topic about

Reality is, Google makes the software, so of course they have had it first. The S25 Ultra (Samsung's flagship) has UI 7, and there are hardly any issues with it. If you understood software development, you would understand why it's not possible to just slap it on all other devices; their hardware isn't the same as the S25 series and needs heavy adjusting to ensure no issues.
How can you be shocked that Google has had its testing for UI 16? They literally make Android. It's been shown that Google purposely delays it for other brands.
The update will be done when it's done. You would equally be upset if they released a lackluster, generic OS—like other brands. Samsung is building the new UI 7 from the ground up, so yes, it's taking longer.
Samsung is the biggest Android manufacturer because they are simply better: their hardware, UI features, stability, and ecosystem. You can disagree, but they wouldn't be where they are if this were untrue.
*Edge panel is still there?
*Google assistant is now easier, either clicking the side button
*Now brief comes with UI7. So when it released it'll be fine.
*The "broken" features aren't broken. Ive seen maybe a maximum of 2 reports on samsung members for fingerprints, none for quick panel and none for animations inconsistencies.
UI 6 works fine, no? So be patient for a stable release.
AI is good. But if you want to make a good point, don't be lazy. I can respect your viewpoints, but make them your own.

Hello there @RMWasib
Look I totally understand and appreciate your viewpoint on this.
I reply to your thread as a long time user of Samsung phones and in my experience software and security patches have vastly improved over time.
Having a stable software update is paramount for me.
Security patches being vital.
Just my 2 cents.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I'm here to help. " This is the way. "

"Galaxy AI is Here"
Yet arguing about AI and you've seen the Google, but what about OnePlus, OPPO and Vivo?

In terms of other brands, as I've said, in my opinion, they are very generic, lacking features—which makes Samsung better. They are not the most popular manufacturers for a reason. I have no doubt they are good, but to me, Samsung is putting a lot more into UI 7.
I can agree with them not keeping the public as up-to-date as they should be, but I'm sure there's a reason behind it (false promises).

You seem to have answered your own question there.
No other android offers so much customisation and cool new features ( which you have mentioned in your post) than Samsung.
Not to mention their AI is so much more and better then anyone else.
Your frustration is genuine but you have just used some very weak points to make your point across.
Samsung is moving towards more stable and whole some products and OS.
S24 series beta has been one of the best beta I had so much so I used it abroad without issues.
I also realised the Elite snapdragon will be a game changer and given Samsung does really good preorders I have moved to the S25 series.
I agree the difference is huge.
On another note. Now that the groundwork is set for One UI with oneui7 you can expect faster rollouts from oneui8.
😊
