In the past week or so, the leaks that depicted what Samsung's newest One UI 7 overlay will look like, and the features it will bring, reached flooding mode. The reason is that many insiders expected Samsung to announce its Android 15 beta program for the S24 series and other Galaxy phones today.
The One UI 7 update, however, has apparently been delayed, as several sources are reporting, because Samsung will need to iron out some other updates it intends to push to its phones first.
If true, and we will know as soon as Monday fades away, this won't be the first time that Samsung has postponed a major Android and One UI beta update schedule to polish stable updates first. This time around, the issue might be the One UI 6.1.1 version that came with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, and is now rolling out to other Samsung handsets.
Last week, I reported that the One UI 7 Beta would be available for download today. This original launch schedule was confirmed by @SamMobiles and reputable leaker @UniverseIce. However, it seems Samsung has delayed the Beta update.

SamMobile suggests this may be because they…
Granted, Android 15 with One UI 7 is a major version, but the One UI 6.1.1 version is not a step change, either. With it, Samsung is bringing more Galaxy AI features to older phones, as well as numerous smaller enhancements like audio volume normalization.
Moreover, One UI 7 is reportedly coming not only with changes under the hood, but with a brand new visual overhaul that will take some time to get used to for loyal Samsung fans.
People who install public Android beta campaigns, on the other hand, are usually early adopters, and less numerous than those who will be receiving the stable One UI 6.1.1 update, so Samsung is seemingly setting its priorities straight.
