If you were still clinging on to hope that Samsung will release another One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 lineup before the end of the year, you are going to be disappointed.
A moderator from the One UI beta operations team on the Samsung US community forums has said (via Tarun Vats) that the status of the third beta update will be announced “once the software is available.”
With just four days to go before we say goodbye to this eventful year, that's as good a sign as any that Samsung will not be releasing any new One UI 7 beta updates before January.
As we were writing this, Samsung India's beta team revealed that the next beta update is “expected to be released at the end of December 2024”, but we would still recommend keeping your expectations low.
And if you own a Galaxy smartphone other than a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra, you may want to prepare for the possibility that it will not be part of the One UI 7.0 beta program. According to a recent rumor, Samsung may directly release the stable update for devices like the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S22. That stable update could arrive in February for all eligible Galaxy S flagships.
