• Contrary to previous years' practices, Samsung has decided not to include the Galaxy S23 series in the One UI 7 Beta program, opting instead for a direct stable update rollout in February 2025.
• This decision, confirmed through communication with Samsung experts by X user FamilyTaes, marks a significant departure from Samsung's usual beta testing strategy which often included older flagship models.
• The delay in the initial One UI 7 Beta release, coupled with the exclusion of the S23 series, has resulted in a four-month delay for the stable update, impacting users' access to the new features.
• One UI 7 boasts significant design improvements, including elegant color palettes and the AI-powered 'Now Bar' for enhanced notification and control management; however, Galaxy S23 users will have to wait until February 2025 to experience these enhancements.
