Same here it keeps saying software is up to date. But when restarting my phone it says still in beta testing.

No, not yet. And I don't know why they sent the update notice without the update.

it wasn't an update notice it was a end of beta notice and if you've ever been in past betas you should know that carrier models get it first as well then followed by unlocked but anybody who is in the beta generally has to wait between 3 days to a week or two after the update comes out because it's a completely different firmware going from the beta to the stable smaller size also the carriers confirm with them before the update if there's any issues so basically it's stuck waiting on carriers to push it to us once they know there's nothing wrong with the firmware as Samsung might make the firmware but they don't distribute that goes to the carriers and from there the carriers do their thing and send it to the phones, but yeah usually beta users get update last and major reason for that is that it's completely different firmware you can't go from beta to stable using the regular file because it's completely different

Agreed. My speakers stopped working and the battery drain is outrageous. Phone is borderline bricked at the moment.
