Have you ever wondered why people volunteer to beta test software that is, at least to begin with, full of bugs, when there is really nothing to gain from it? Then in the following lines we will bring you at least a partial answer. From time to time, companies whose software testers test decide to make a friendly gesture towards their volunteer helpers.

Appreciate your loyal beta testers on the models Galaxy The South Korean Samsung also decided on the S8 and S8+. A few days ago, the lengthy testing of the new operating system ended Android 8.0 Beta, which was supposed to reveal to Samsung all the bugs that could cause problems in the sharp version of the system. And since the beta testers really did their best and helped the South Koreans perfect their system with their feedback, they received a small gift from Samsung. Samsung will allow all beta testers to download the sharp version of the new system a day before ordinary mortals get it.

Nothing new under the sun

Although this is undoubtedly a very nice gesture on Samsung's part, which can certainly be taken as a thank you, in the technological world we come across similar things from time to time. For example, Samsung's competitor, Californian Apple, always releases the last beta version of its system as final or if you like sharp, so it has the form of the one for the public. Users involved in beta testing thus always have a new version of the system a few days before the update is released to the public, which many of them will at least appreciate for peace of mind.

At this time it is not clear when the models will be updated Galaxy S8 to new Android We will finally see 8.0 Oreo. The beta program ended on January 15th, so the release of the final version should cost practically nothing. Hopefully we'll see each other soon and everything will go smoothly.
