What’s going on with Samsung and Android 15?
Samsung has a serious problem in his hands. And in the absence of official company updates, even Samsung specialized commentators are starting to lose patience. February is almost finished, and it is difficult to imagine no updates before going on.
We are of course talking about Android 15, or at least of his absence. “To say that fans are disappointed with the management of Samsung from One UI 7.0 would be an understatement”, ” Samobile said. “There was no justification for this delay. Samsung has not even addressed the elephant in the room: why should he continue to keep these devices on the beta version while the Galaxy S25 series is shipped with a 7.0 user interface? »»
And this is the node of the problem. Samsung’s One UI 7 / Android 15 upgrade is clearly there, but it is clear No Unless you are running a whole new equipment. And for those who have recently spent more than $ 1,000 for a Galaxy S24, this is clearly more than frustrating.
“It is obviously ready for public release”, ” Samobile said. “Two budgetary phones, the Galaxy A06 5G and the Galaxy F06, have already launched during the execution of a user interface 7. With many Galaxy models to come, a series should also be shipped with a 7.0 user interface, It becomes much more difficult – almost impossible, in fact – to justify this.
The best that we have seen by explanation is that perfection takes time, but perfect is the enemy of the good races of the proverb, and this is where we are now.
“We understand that the expectation of the stable version One UL 7.0 was frustrating, and we appreciate your patience,” published an American moderator from Samsung this week. “Our goal is to provide a polite, stable and optimized update, which sometimes means the change of chronology according to tests and comments. Although we recognize that previous version cycles may have been more predictable, software development is an evolving process and ensuring that the best user experience is our absolute priority. We know that clearer communication can help, and we will continue to work to provide updates from their finalization. »»
But as a Samsung user published on X in response to Tarun Vats Sharing the update: “This message would have been OK last October. Not mid-February “
Samobile Said it will be a “disaster” if it becomes “the new standard for Samsung”. And that’s probably the point to remember here. Fort Samsung was difficult to follow to follow Google’s timing and do its own work to wrap Android 15 in a single 7 user interface, keeping anywhere near Pixel timing. And Android 16 is now already in a beta version, which suggests that there is a completely new approach, we can review the same thing.
This counts because Android 15 brings a multitude of updates criticism of security and confidentiality, and that Samsung One 7 does even more to reduce the security gap to the iPhone. It is understandable that users want these updates to be available as quickly as possible. Android 16 promises to make Android even better, even more secure.
There are also wider safety problems in play here. The Google Pixel is currently more appropriate to obtain critical corrections to users, even when attacks have been identified in the wild. As I commented elsewhere, forget the iPhone, something should change to prevent Google’s pixel from creating a gap for Samsung which is its own.
As for the last moment for those waiting, Central Android Said: “We do not know when an IU 7 will reach the stability of the Galaxy S24 range and other Galaxy phones. Shortly after the start of the Galaxy S25, Samsung undertook to bring it to older “imminently” devices and that users should expect it in the first quarter of 2025. We do not know if this calendar was postponed due to the last series of delays. »»
By Sambobile Frustrated update this weekend: “It would be unfair to expect people to pay for what would effectively become a lower quality software experience, while reducing the very impressive work that Samsung has done by providing a support advanced software for its devices so far. The company should not support itself in a corner which it can find difficult to get out. »»
