This samsung. Many people saying motorola releases not enough updates at least they dont release beta after beta after beta. Samsung is bad company. Just like apple they making customers as donkeys.

it has nothing to do with what you are saying, what they are doing is not for public consumption thus the moniker "beta", these are releases intended for developers and testing before releasing the final stable version across the world.
