Here’s Why One UI 7 Beta Is Getting Delayed

Samsung was expected to release the much-awaited One UI 7 beta earlier this month, but now that doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. The beta release is reportedly being delayed again and again.

But what’s forcing Samsung to delay the One UI 7 beta release?

Ahead of its global launch at IFA Berlin 2024, the Honor Magic V3 has achieved an unusual world record. The company teamed up with Guinness World Record holder Bryan Berg to show the phone’s lightweight design by placing it on top of the world’s tallest house of cards.

Just seven months after launching the Note 50, Realme has seemingly introduced its successor, the Note 60, in Indonesia. The company hasn’t made an official announcement yet, but several listings from local retailers on Instagram reveal most of the phone’s specifications and confirm its immediate availability.
