ONE UI 7 UPDATE CONCERNS

[2002jmdmalazzab]

Hi! 

I have been using the A series since 2023 and recently bought a tablet last February.

I'm just wondering why One UI 7 update does not rollout to ALL devices at least at the same day. I get it that they have so many lineups that should be catered individually. However, they can just release the update on the same day, regardless of the device, and ensuring that all devices get their own versions (like with or without AI features depending on the hardware support). 

For example, they can just release the major update on all S series and A series supported on the said update today, while ensuring that the higher lineup receive the advance feature. What is taking them so long that they opt to release it per model and pre region? So irrational and inefficient.

Maybe some of you will say I should jsut get the latest one if I wanted the OS update as fast as I can, but that is such a narrow point of view. Samsung phones cost a lot of dollars because of their UI, and we all are paying for it. 

In this recent update, we even got the Android 15 a year late than its global release to pther android phones. Too many features that has been delayed and yet some of you will just say, "just wait." NO, we paid for the phone and its service. 

Why can Apple release IOS update on all their devices in the same day? Even though they have different versions and lineups? It's such a pity that we have to settle for less and gaslight each other, when we should be calling out for Samsung blatantly exploiting their users?

I'm using S9 FE (Wi-Fi only version) and discovered that the 5G version already got their update 2 days ago. It is the same device, just the presence of a sim card wouldn't make such a difference in building the versions. Why is Samsung so slow and inefficient?

Yeah, like cmon' Samsung, you're a multi-billion company. You should match what Google and Apple do with their updates 🙃

such a big company—surely have a bigger workforce—but updates are even slower than samsung shutter speed LMAO

[SungJinwooHunter]

Indeed.

One UI 7 is a major OS update and they had to change lots of things, and unlike iPhone and Pixel devices that only has small line up of devices and uses one chipset, Samsung use different chipsets on their devices so they need to tune the OS for those different devices plus they need to apply different region's patch. this is one of the reason as to why Samsung can't release single OS updates to all of their devices because they need to tune it up to phones with different chipsets.

and the second reason why they are talking so long for older devices because most of their devs are now busy with One UI 8. and third, it *** but for Samsung older devices are less priority for them.

So you are saying they can't manage their time and delegate task on their huge team? Such a shame for a big company then.

They can finish the versions and release them per lineup, not per model and per region 😂 Such an exploitative company.

Nice explanation

Once my A34 no longer receive an OS update in the future, I'll switch to IOS and will never come back for sure.
