Many thought Samsung was making a big mistake, and even the ones who seemed to understand the reasoning behind the delay still weren’t happy about it.This left us wondering just how things split. Are there more people who think a One UI 7 delay is understandable, or more who don’t? We ran a poll in <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-one-ui-7-delay-3487724/">an article about Samsung’s One UI 7 announcement</a> to get a feel for what our readers think. As it turns out, not only are a majority of our readers upset about this, but it is making them think of abandoning Samsung in the future.The chart above clarifies that fans are mostly evenly split among the three options. The “No, I’m fine waiting” option is still the smallest one, technically, with just 28.12% of the more than 2,500 votes received. Meanwhile, slightly more folks — 34.41% — think the One UI 7 delay is OK as long as things return to normal for <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-features-3484159/">Android 16</a>.However, the most significant piece of the pie goes to people who not only don’t like this delay but also think it could cause them to skip Samsung phones in the future. At 37.47% of responders, this is not overwhelmingly more than the other two categories, but it is certainly notable that it’s officially the largest category.According to comments, the minority group is the most vocal, with many of those voters defending Samsung's delay decision.Interestingly, the most vocal people in the comments are the ones who are totally OK with this delay, suggesting the minority of responders are more vocal about their opinions than those who are upset about the state of One UI 7. “This is a big One UI overhaul,” said commenter kennyg357, for example. “It can’t be rushed, and it will be worth the wait.” That is currently the top-voted comment in the thread.Commenter ArchangelRenzoku agrees:<blockquote>Personally, I’m OK with waiting for major OS updates because I’d rather have a complete and fully-functional software package, rather than get handed a half-baked update with missing features and loads of bugs…like they force-feed to Pixel users and then fix later with ‘Pixel Drips.’ Samsung is holding their development teams to a higher standard than AOSP AND Google, and I support that.</blockquote>However, not all the comments defended Samsung’s decision. User notforhire said, “If Samsung gets back on schedule, no harm, no foul. If not…” The ellipsis trail is unexplained, but it suggests this user voted to possibly abandon Samsung if it can’t get One UI 8 (as we assume it would be called) back to the schedule to which fans have become accustomed.</div></body>
