It's not all smooth sailing: Samsung delays One UI 7 beta release due to technical reasons

Samsung appears to have postponed the launch of the One UI 7 beta for Android 15, which was previously reportedly scheduled for 29 July.

Here's What We Know

According to the latest information from @SamMobiles, the company is still actively working on One UI 6.1.1, which could be one of the reasons for the delay. Additionally, other sources claim that the current version of One UI 7 is "very glitchy," which could also have influenced the decision to postpone the launch.

Last week, the first beta of One UI 7 was expected to launch on 29 July. An Ice Universe informant also confirmed this information, saying that if there were no issues, the beta would have been released at that time.

Meanwhile, on social network X, whistleblower @chunvn888888 revealed new screenshots of One UI 7 with the lock screen and colour palette theme on the home screen.

As you can see in one of the screenshots, the app menu is not vertical as previously speculated, but horizontal, which has been used by Samsung for years. Perhaps the new format will only be available through the Good Lock customisation app, rather than the standard way. Also, @chunvn888888 reported that the One UI 7 beta will be available in the US, EU, South Korea and China.
