Samsung One UI Program

[MobifyStoreYLB]

 Hello, 

To all I have a question why Samsung does not offer beta versions of one ui in the world as Apple does for example when a version of iOS is available Apple offers it to everyone why samsung does not do the same what is the ratio to simply offer to 5 or 6 countries while samsung is available in the world It's a pity because they would also like to enjoy beta versions like everyone else especially that have paid to have service as much to please consumers I hope that one person has the answer and that in the future beta versions will be available to everyone Happy Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year to all of you

Hey there and welcome to the Samsung UK and EU Community Customer to Customer Forum

Thank you for your question.

Samsung operate a phased beta programme for a number of reasons including:

1. Each region has different laws and requirements
2. Android is a very different operating system to IoS
2.1 Android is open source, IoS isn't
3. There are millions more 3rd party apps on Android that add layers of complexity
4. Carriers add additional software to devices (I'm not familiar with IoS so not sure if this happens through Apple.
5. As an open source software, Samsung choose to limit capacity to maximise its internal capacity to deal with bugs and gremlins that may occur

At the end of the day, beta is test software. Too many people sign up to beta not because they want to test and feedback, but because they want the latest software whilst not realising there are risks. Many choose to roll back as soon as they hit an issue or if they find Google Wallet doesn't work (it doesn't in beta).

If you own a Google pixel phone then it is available to all. The android 15 beta was available for pixel 8, 7 and 6 series phones. You just go to a web page to check if your device is eligible. Then again Google don't make region specific phones.
