Second Galaxy S24 One UI 7 beta update expected to arrive on this specific December date

In a development that may not come as a surprise, the anticipated expansion of the Galaxy S24 series' One UI 7.0 (Android 15) beta program to additional regions seems to have encountered a delay. As a result, the release of the second beta update for markets where the program began on December 5 has also been postponed.

Initially, industry rumors suggested that the update would roll out today. However, reports from Samsung's customer support indicate the new tentative release date is December 16. That timeline is not set in stone, as delays are not uncommon with Samsung’s beta programs due to unexpected last-minute adjustments.

Unlike its approach to launching new products, which sometimes prioritize speed, Samsung takes a more cautious stance with One UI beta updates. This deliberate approach ensures users don’t face major issues, such as software bugs that could lock them out of their devices or lead to data loss during a factory reset.

For the Galaxy S24 series, the second beta update will be released once it is thoroughly tested and deemed ready. While this could happen soon, there’s also a possibility of further delays, especially with the holiday season around the corner. Despite the festivities, it’s possible that Samsung’s software team might work overtime to push the update out before the year ends. However, a timeline extending into the new year can’t be ruled out either.
