Samsung rumored to drop its first Android 15 beta tomorrow

Samsung’s long-awaited One UI 7 beta based on Android 15 is rumored to be released this week. Specifically, Samsung is said to be releasing the software for devices on December 5. That means that some Samsung phone owners will finally be getting their first taste of Android 15’s new features. Samsung isn’t always the first to release beta software for new Android versions but it’s also much faster than several other manufacturers.

Rumor of Samsung’s plans to push the first Android 15 beta to users comes from Max Jambor. Jambor states that Samsung will begin to roll out the software update starting on December 5. However, he doesn’t mention anything about actual timing. So those with supported devices will want to keep an eye out for possible notifications that the download is available.

Samsung was initially planning to push the One UI 7 beta out to users much earlier this year. It’s been delayed a few times though. Thought at one point to be coming in July the update was pushed back. New rumors suggested it might come in August. Then August came and went but there was no update. Now it seems Samsung is finally ready to roll things out to the first set of users. Having potentially fixed whatever bugs may have been present that resulted in the delay.

Samsung’s One UI 7 beta will be released for the Galaxy S24 series

Although past leaks have said that the One UI 7 beta may be coming to the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S24, it seems the former isn’t getting the software just yet.

According to Jambor, tomorrow’s rollout will include the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. There’s no mention of any other devices. That doesn’t mean that Samsung won’t push the software to its Galaxy S23 series at some point. For now, however, only Galaxy S24 users seem to be getting their hands on it.

Users in Germany will be among the first to participate

Jambor only mentions Germany specifically with regard to rollout regions. That being said, he also states that users in Germany will be “among the first to participate.” So this suggests that other regions will be included in tomorrow’s push. It wouldn’t be surprising if users in the US were included here, given the US is a massive market for Samsung. Users in South Korea are also expected to see the update from tomorrow.
