Things are finally looking up on the One UI 7.0 beta program front. We have heard several times in recent days that Samsung could start the One UI 7.0 beta program in the third week of November, and we now have proper evidence for the same: the first beta firmware for the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been spotted on Samsung's servers!
Strangely enough, the beta firmware on Samsung's servers are for India and Europe even though One UI updates always release in the US and Korea first. That may still be the case for the One UI 7.0 beta, but we won't know for sure until the beta program goes live.
Considering how long fans have been waiting for the chance to take One UI 7.0 (and Android 15) for a spin, we hope Samsung will make an exception this year and have the beta program go live in all eligible countries at the same time, or at least in the span of a few days instead of weeks.
Unless Samsung decides to do things differently this year, One UI 7.0 beta testing will likely be available for users in India, Germany, Poland, Korea, China, the US, and the UK.
The list of devices eligible for the beta program should include the Galaxy S24 series and all other Samsung flagship phones launched in at least the last two years. Some mid-range phones may get it as well.
In case you haven't already heard, the official One UI 7.0 release will take place next year following the launch of the Galaxy S25 series. The latest version of One UI will bring major changes to various aspects of the user interface, and we can't wait to try it out.
