comment description below if you're
1:28
interested so last night if we go to the
1:31
Samsung members app Samsung put let me
1:34
back out so you guys can actually see
1:35
where it's at samsung put a new notice
1:38
up talking about the beta so if you see
1:39
that little orange dot that means
1:40
there's something new if you tap here it
1:43
says "Let you know the new update for
1:45
beta program." This was at 12:48 Eastern
1:48
time I guess last night we're announcing
1:50
a new update in order to provide the
1:51
better beta experience beta program has
1:53
been reorganized we'll introduce in
1:54
advance which part will be changed the
1:56
procedure participating in the beta
1:57
program has become easier we've changed
1:59
registration process to only two steps
2:01
joining the program and participating in
2:03
beta test once you join the beta program
2:05
you can freely join and leave which is
2:06
different than before now the beta terms
2:09
and condition agreement process which
2:10
was previously required for each model
2:12
only needs to be completed once when you
2:13
participate in the beta program so if
2:15
you have multiple phones I assume a
2:16
phone and watch uh once they open the 1
2:19
UI watch beta program for 1 UI 8 you'll
2:22
be able to join that as well without
2:24
agreeing to those same terms and
2:25
conditions again once you've
2:26
participated joining and leaving a beta
2:28
test can be done with just a few taps i
2:30
think they mean taps instead of tabs
2:32
remember this is all translated from
2:33
Korean of course dedicated beta space
2:35
the beta program home has been added
2:37
regardless of the beta test period a new
2:38
dedicated beta testing space has been
2:40
created which is always open here you
2:42
can participate in each ongoing beta
2:44
test and see useful information via the
2:46
beta tips i'll show you guys more about
2:48
that in a second you see here each
2:50
ongoing beta test here and beta tips
2:51
below they've already started adding in
2:53
some of these FAQs how to access the
2:55
beta program home there are two ways to
2:56
enter it select beta section from the
2:58
Samsung members home screen we'll talk
3:00
about that in a second the section will
3:01
always be displayed regardless of the
3:03
beta period even if it's closed
3:04
apparently according to Samsung in case
3:06
of being a participant in the beta test
3:08
the section is displayed on the upper
3:10
side so you'll be able to see it on the
3:11
top but this banner is already there if
3:13
you scroll down we'll look at in just a
3:15
second selecting the beta test
3:16
recruitment banner from the home screen
3:17
banner is displayed when there's an
3:18
ongoing test you can join that is as
3:21
usual in the old programs as well while
3:23
participating in the beta test please
3:24
leave valuable feedback thank you so if
3:26
we go home here back out of the notices
3:29
you'll notice there's no join banner
3:31
available the join banner usually
3:32
appears up here not available here of
3:34
course I don't have any beta info here
3:38
down below news and tips below gallery
3:41
all the way at the bottom we've got this
3:43
dedicated beta section Samsung is
3:45
talking about we tap on this now we've
3:47
got all this new information including
3:49
up here at the top it says no new beta
3:51
programs are available now check back
3:54
again soon then beta tips this beta tips
3:57
section has a bunch of information in it
3:59
which is what Samsung was referencing in
4:01
that notice that I just showed you guys
4:03
so first of all it explains in detail
4:04
what the beta program is it basically
4:06
explains what they're looking for in the
4:08
beta program which of course all of us
4:10
who are enthusiasts who've participated
4:11
in past betas we already know all this
4:13
information it seems like Samsung is
4:15
perhaps trying to get more casual users
4:17
who are just general Galaxy fans
4:19
interested my my guess is maybe they did
4:21
this maybe they already planned it
4:23
there's a lot of backlash from 1 UI7
4:25
about various things like the split
4:26
quick panel you know your Bluetooth
4:28
icons not being visible anymore in the
4:30
quick settings uh unless you swipe down
4:33
lots of people are mad about a lot of
4:34
stuff with 1 UI7 i saw the vitriol on my
4:36
channel maybe Samsung wants to get more
4:38
casual users in so they can give
4:39
feedback on these things and not just
4:41
hardcore users you know like me and
4:43
others who are enthusiasts this kind of
4:45
tells you and explains you what they're
4:46
looking for ux improvements beta program
4:49
home is basically what we're looking at
4:50
now um it shows you the ones you can
4:53
join uh you can see useful information
4:55
about that beta test uh how to join the
4:57
beta test using the beta program home
5:00
the banner you'll be able to join it
5:02
directly from the beta program home um
5:05
send beta error report so this is very
5:06
important it shows you how to detail the
5:08
beta error reports uh you can see it
5:10
tells you to to send the report very
5:12
quickly right after you notice the error
5:15
make UX suggestions which again I think
5:17
they're really trying to get some people
5:19
who are not hardcore enthusiasts to
5:21
suggest what they would like to see in
5:22
terms of the user experience how to roll
5:24
back the beta OS version they're going
5:26
to show you now how to do that uh if you
5:28
roll back your device still factory
5:30
reset which is not surprising of course
5:33
given the nature of how they do this
5:34
they also explain uh how to use smart
5:37
switch which is the same process as
5:39
usual just if you want to roll back you
5:41
need to use it to back up your data
5:43
update the latest beta version again you
5:45
can always use this very simply to go to
5:47
the software update menu how to leave
5:50
the beta test so if you want to exit if
5:53
you don't like it uh if you use
5:54
continuous beta software you can't
5:56
receive all updates during the remaining
5:57
beta period after canceling you can
5:59
rejoin at any time you can go back the
6:01
official version with the roll back uh
6:03
and then of course doing smart switch
6:05
withdraw from the beta program uh if you
6:07
withdraw from the beta program all of
6:08
each beta test will be will be left so
6:10
you'll on all your devices at once
6:12
you'll have a separate section to do
6:14
this to remove it from every device that
6:16
you have it on if you have multiple beta
6:18
ended it'll show you uh in this beta
6:21
home when the beta's ended they're not
6:23
going to release anymore you have to
6:24
join the stable release that's pretty
6:25
much as usual and then there's a bunch
6:27
more beta frequently asked questions is
6:30
compensation uh what conditions do I
6:33
need you need to agree to the you need
6:34
to have an eligible device obviously
6:37
reset my device can I install the beta
6:38
software again yes when is the firmware
6:41
for the official available you know it's
6:43
not known pretty much you know they tell
6:45
you where to find things in the beta
6:47
community all this is things that we
6:49
know as enthusiasts who haven't
6:50
participated in the past but I think
6:52
this does make it more accessible to the
6:53
average user the only thing is Samsung
6:55
should really give like a stability
6:57
rating for each beta they release if
6:59
they want to get more users you know who
7:01
are general users testing because if I'm
7:03
a general user I don't want to join an
7:05
early beta that's buggy necessarily now
7:07
I think 1 UI8 beta is going to be very
7:09
stable when it first launches because
7:10
I've been testing a leaked build for a
7:12
while and it's very very stable on the
7:14
leaked build even so I think a lot of
7:15
general users could jump in but in some
7:18
past betas like UI7 the first release
7:19
was a disaster uh it's a hot garbage
7:22
fire in terms of battery life and some
7:23
other things so depending on the beta I
7:25
think they should include that uh in
7:26
this beta home so you have like a rating
7:28
so you know if you want to try anyway
7:31
very exciting developments one UI beta
7:32
should be coming next week make sure you
7:34
check out samigrew.com get in the
7:36
mystery box program if you guys are
7:37
interested in any of these devices
7:38
appreciate you guys checking out the
7:39
video i'll see you in the next one
