The One UI 7 release has by far been one of the most frustrating, at least for users, as the excitement they had for this massive overhaul of Samsung's custom Android skin was seriously dented by the prolonged beta period and the roll out that had to be halted soon after it began.
The roll out is humming along nicely now as Samsung has managed to update many of the eligible devices to the new firmware version, but can this be considered a success? Our new video offers a contrarian view.
As we discuss in the video posted today on our official imeisource YouTube channel, the One UI 7 launch has likely made Samsung lose some trust in the consumer space. Whether that's due to the implications that arose regarding the delay or the general secrecy surrounding its public release.
This has led some users to question Samsung's promise of providing 7 years of Android OS upgrades for its top devices, because if this delay is anything to go by, it's a promise that may become a bit hard to believe.
What Samsung could have done at SDC, where it announced that One UI 7 wouldn't arrive before 2025, it outline a set plan and communicate to users that it's working on a long-term strategy that involves not just a complete overhaul of One UI but also its release cycle.
It appears that by pushing One UI 7 into 2025 and possibly launching One UI 8 alongside the new foldables in the coming months, Samsung wants to align new One UI releases alongside the latest Android versions. One UI 8 will come with Android 16 and then this should become the new norm.
It would work out well for Samsung, because on this timeline Galaxy devices would become among the first to bring the latest version of Android to users, alongside Google's own Pixel devices. It's just that all of this could have been communicated better, and the major changes it launched with One UI 7 could also have been staggered to better align with this long-term strategy.
We dive more into this, and consider other steps that Samsung should have taken to prevent the mess that became the One UI 7 roll out, in the full video. Do check it out below!
