With the arrival of each new version of Android and each of the different layers of customization, doubts begin to arise among users about whether or not their phones could be updated. Although there are doubts that go further and has to do with those who want to try the beta on their mobile, something between which we identify, because we want to try all the news before anyone else.
Unfortunately for many, not all smartphones end up receiving the beta to test the news or EMUI, MIUI or One UI . This raises many doubts among users, since it is not easy to know why some and others cannot beta test their respective customization layers. With the intention of clarifying these doubts, we are going to look at everything we must take into account.
Premium mobiles take the lead
When a brand prepares to launch a new mobile on the market, it already has in mind what will happen with its personalization layer, something that for example we can see in the Xiaomi Mi 10, which were the first to be able to access the MIUI beta 12. This is not the only manufacturer that does so, as both Samsung and Huawei do the same. This becomes a way of rewarding the users who invest the most in the devices, offering them not only the best hardware but also the best software support.
Betas must be tested with all add-ons
Another important aspect for which the debate versions only reach the most premium mobiles has to do with all the options they include. There are elements that cannot be tested in the entry or mid-range range, such as the use of NFC for not including it, adaptations of the refresh rate or the always on display screen. When Samsung chooses to test the beta of One UI 3.0 in the Galaxy S20, it does so being aware that later it will be easier to remove the deficiencies in other terminals than to have to add them.
The bigger the community, the better the results
The number of users who have the same smartphone is also very important for brands when choosing who can or can produce the beta version of the customization layers . Undoubtedly, the number of users is linked to a greater number of tests, which makes it easier for developers to know about bugs or shortcomings.
The different forums of each brand are the meeting point for all these complaints, although there are also applications that offer us to send comments. If we have one of the best-selling mobiles, the beta version is much easier to reach us even if our mobile is not totally a high-end premium.
