I live in Canada and I understand that we don't have access to the beta. I was wondering if someone could maybe explain WHY we don't have access to the beta, it doesn't make sense because it seems where I live samsungs are far more popular than iPhones/IOS devices.

There's only ever been 7 countries that par in the Betas. 

There's something like 195 countries on the planet.

Samsung gets what it needs from the US, which has 10 times the population of Canada.

If you really want the Beta, you can manually flash the CORRECT US Beta on your Canadian device.

I live in Canada too and it is incredibly depressing..It being March and i still haven't even tried one u.i 7 is depressing as hell. Ive for my S24 Ultra, I live next to the border. Literally 45min...Were on the same continent. Why couldn't they just add Canadians into the Beta?!?! Our population is much lower, yes...but i KNOW it wouldnt be that difficult for them to expand to Canada, to increase consumers satisfaction??

It would be nice to have the beta, but we are so close in features to the USA that it makes more sense to use other countries with different features and different features, languages, etc.

Can we try changing the country on our phone? I have an IQOO Neo 9 Pro phone which I bought in India and currently the phone is with me in Canada. But the country in my phone is still India and I am getting all the software updates including Android 15 beta even though there is no presence of Vivo in Canada. Does it work like this on Samsung?

I used to have google pixel, I bought samsung s24 ultra (big mistake) samsung is fooling us by not giving us ui7 where pixel is already android 16 beta. What a joke and then they claim to give 7 years update but if the updates are delayed like this then what is the point of having 7 years. You will only get 4 years of updates as they will release update next year. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY SAMSUNG. We are good for nothing for them if we dont buy latest phone. Even if the previous version is same price as new one. What a joke samsung shame on you!

Canada has 40 million people whereas America has 350 million people. For them to give us access to beta is useless.
