I'm having very improved battery life on mine since the beta 4. I really don't understand if they can improve your battery life by whatever updates they send Ota why don't they give their phones the best battery life it can possibly have? That's what I don't understand. If they are able to release 1 beta and it's horrible drain then they release 1 and it's so much better and drains slower no 1 can say they can't give us the best battery life since the batteries aren't increasing in size despite them "supposedly" doing away with the 3.5 mm headset jack and SD card for a bigger battery. Yet it hasn't gotten any bigger the last 3 or 4 years and the least they could do would be to give Ota things to make it the best it can be going forward. Not 1 beta to the next. This is what baffles me. They can do it, clearly, but they choose not to. So we get stuff like them taking away things by force and they change things the vast majority of people didn't want, like no Bluetooth s-pen on the S25 or no memory card capability but still a sim tray that would be the same size if they put SD card capability on the other side. They said they removed the s-pen Bluetooth capabilities because only 1 percent of customers used it regularly if I remember correctly and how does taking it away benefit any customer? It doesn't just like the other things didn't but it's either don't have it or don't upgrade and they want you to upgrade and it's actually a downgrade to the S25 and the S25 one ui 7 isn't even stable. They could have made some improvements to the software and ui and worked on it for another year and released it next year. I just feel like customers and beta testers get treated like we aren't important and Samsung wonders why the S25 sales aren't like they normally are? I mean it's not difficult to figure it out. Quit forcing what you want on us and so many people don't want what you want us to have.
I also see people in here talking about people complaining about the beta testing taking so long and they don't think people should complain and they don't care what software version they have or they tell people to be patient and their feelings aren't valid. That's powerful hypocritical to say if you are in the beta testing. If you don't care about the software why beta test and why participate. Wait for the stable version if "it doesn't matter to you what software you have." If someone didn't care they wouldn't be in the beta testing. I have been in the past 3 or 4 and it is slow and absolutely ridiculous the amount of time it's taking and Samsung not telling us anything concrete.
Also they have been testing this for 2 to 3 years. Which is it? 2 or 3. I don't understand why that's a difficult thing to know, especially from the company doing and developing it. You don't know how long you have actually been working on a major ui overhaul? Sure. Makes perfect sense
To understand things you want to understand you have to be a developer and not just a simple front-end or backend developer. This is a very complex system it's jot just android there are so many things the integrations like smartthings etc .. batter drain is reduced by improving the code and efficiency.. that takes time.
