Beta testing an app allows you to find and fix issues before publishing in Galaxy Store and provides a better user experience by incorporating feedback from your testers.

The Galaxy Store Seller Portal team is excited to announce enhancements to beta testing. We’ve listened to you and have implemented your comments and suggestions to improve beta testing functionality!

Beta test any app at any time

If your app is already published in Galaxy Store, you can now beta test your app while it is being registered or under review. This allows you to test your app or updates to your app at any time.

When updating a binary, you must use the same package name and make sure the beta version number is higher than the version number of your existing app. If the beta version number is the same or lower than the version number of your existing app and your beta tester has your existing app installed on their device, this beta tester cannot install the beta version. Likewise, when you publish your updated app (the version that will be published in Galaxy Store after your beta testing is completed), make sure this version number is higher than the beta version number. Otherwise, your beta testers are not able to update their beta version to the updated app. That is, when you assign a version number to your beta app and your updated app, the beta version number must be greater than the existing app's version number and the updated app's version number must be greater than the beta version number:
(existing app version number) < (beta version number) < (updated app version number).

Run open and closed beta tests simultaneously

An open beta test allows anyone to download your app using the specified link. A closed beta test allows only the testers you specify (identified by their Samsung account) to download your app using the specified link. Previously, only one type of test could be run at a time. Now, you can run both an open and a closed beta test at the same time.

Add a beta test app

To test an app, add a beta test instance in Seller Portal.

  1. In Seller Portal, select the app for which you want to run a beta test. Complete the required information in the App Information and Binary tabs and click Add Beta Test.

  2. Select the type of beta test to run, click Add, and confirm that you want to add a beta test app.

  3. Your beta test app is added to the list of apps and the Application Title displays the type of beta test app being registered. Note the status of the beta test app is Beta Registering. Click on the status of the beta test app to open it in Seller Portal.

  4. Update any of the information for the beta test app in the tabbed areas (for example, add the binary to be tested). For a closed beta test, you must add Tester Settings (the Samsung account IDs of your testers) and Feedback Channel (an address where you receive feedback), located in the Binary tab. Note that the beta testing URL (the link you share with your testers) is located in the Binary tab.

    After you have entered the required information, click Submit Beta Test (if required information is missing, the button is grey).

  5. In the list of apps, when the beta test app status shows Beta Deployed, your app is ready to be tested!

What’s next?

These are just a couple of new features we’ve implemented based on suggestions we received and more updates are planned. Look for additional announcements about enhancements to beta testing in the near future.

      Learn More Trick-GS: A Balanced Bag of Tricks for Efficient Gaussian Splatting
      3D reconstruction presents a long-standing challenge across fields like computer vision, robotics, VR, and multimedia. It’s especially difficult to accurately convert 2D images into dense 3D spaces. Gaussian Splatting (GS) is a powerful technique that represents 3D scenes using volumetric splats to capture detailed geometry and appearances. While GS offers fast training and inference speeds that yield high-quality reconstruction results, its reliance on millions of Gaussians limits its use on mobile devices due to significant storage and computing demands.

      To address the challenge, Samsung Research R&D Institute United Kingdom is utilizing Trick-GS. This innovative approach significantly boosts GS’s storage and computational efficiency. Trick-GS employs a suite of advanced optimization techniques that dramatically enhance both training and inference performance without compromising rendering quality.

      Thanks to these optimizations, Trick-GS delivers significant improvements: 
      •    Compress model size by up to 23 times
      •    Improve training time by 1.7 times
      •    Increase frames per second (FPS) by 2 times
      •    All while maintaining excellent visual performance (PSNR).

      Discover how Trick-GS enables a lightweight model with real-time 3D rendering capabilities directly on mobile devices. Explore its structure and experimental results on the Samsung Research blog.

      Learn more SOI: Scaling Down Computational Complexity by Estimating Partial States of the Model
      As artificial intelligence advances rapidly, we have seen the development of increasingly sophisticated and powerful Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). While these models have achieved groundbreaking performance, their escalating size and computational demands render them impractical for resource-constrained environments. This issue is particularly concerning for real-time, energy-sensitive applications such as smart watches, augmented reality (AR) glasses, and wireless earbuds. 

      Samsung R&D Institute Poland introduces Scattered Online Inference (SOI), a novel approach that reduces computational complexity through partial state predictions and efficient compression by leveraging the inherent continuity and predictability of time-series data. SOI aligns with the growing demand for environmentally sustainable and economically viable AI solutions, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in compact, real-time systems.

      Learn more EnsIR: Ensemble Algorithm for Image Restoration via Gaussian Mixture Models
      Image restoration has seen significant progress over the decades and is now drawing more attention as various deep learning networks emerge. However, single models with different architectures or random initialization states exhibit prediction deviations from ground truths, resulting in sub-optimal restoration results. Ensemble learning has been applied to image restoration to address this issue, but most ensemble methods in image restoration require ensembles in the training stage. The ensemble strategy must be determined while training multiple models, so it sacrifices flexibility in changing models and the convenience of plug-and-play usage.

      This article introduces EnsIR, an image restoration ensemble algorithm based on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs). This method formulates the ensemble problem, and ensemble weights are efficiently learned via the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, which is stored in a lookup table (LUT) to be utilized in the subsequent inference stage. This algorithm demonstrates better performance than regression-based ensemble methods and commonly used averaging strategies. It can be applied to various image restoration tasks. Learn more about EnsIR at the Samsung Research blog.
