Samsung is preparing for the next One UI 7 Watch Beta!

After the One UI 7 rollout resume and its aggressive rollout nature in Korea, Samsung is preparing for the One UI 7 Watch Beta Program by a new firmware for the Galaxy Watch7 and the Watch Ultra smartwatches. This is first spotted by Alfatürk in X where the firmware information for the Watch7 44mm version, SM-L310, was shown with the first Beta version of the upcoming One UI Watch.

We are, however, skeptical as it’s uploaded to a country, Türkiye (TUR), that was never eligible for any Beta program, but we’ve verified that the Korean firmware was also uploaded, and we expect that, just like the previous Beta program, only Korea and USA are eligible for this update, with the BT models being the only target.

The Korean firmware servers say:

• L300XXU1ZYDA (KOO)
• L310XXU1ZYDA (KOO)
• L700XXU1ZYDA (KOO)

We have no information about this build, but we’ll provide you with more information once Samsung makes the Beta program official, which will start during the first days of this summer.

I wasted hours yesterday on supposedly (and actually) live chat asking how I could back up my watch settings manually. The first chat (ai) sent me multiple links, all useless. The actual live one sent different ones and said to go to a repair centre. All useless and no longer apply. You can't do it.It gets done if your phone and watch are turned on and charged between 1-5am.Why didn't they know that?
