Samsung revealed the much-anticipated One UI 7 at the Samsung Developer Conference 2024, showcasing some major updates for Galaxy users. Based on Android 15, One UI 7 introduces a fresh design philosophy centered around simplicity, emotional engagement, and impactful visuals. Samsung is focusing on creating a cleaner, more intuitive interface, with enhancements like a new blur engine to give users a more polished and immersive experience.
For those eager to get their hands on the update, the developer beta will be available by the end of 2024, with the first releases targeting the Galaxy S24 series, followed by the latest foldable devices such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. However, users of the popular Galaxy S23 and some of Samsung’s foldable series can expect the beta soon after. The stable version is slated for release in 2025, launching alongside the Galaxy S25 series.
Eligible devices for both the beta and stable versions will include the Galaxy S23, S24, and S25 series, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series. Other Galaxy models, including some A-series and M-series devices, might also get the update later in 2025.
The rollout schedule for One UI 7 follows a clear timeline, with Samsung first targeting its flagship devices. Here’s a breakdown of the release schedule and which Galaxy devices will receive both the beta and stable versions:
Beta Version Rollout:
Late 2024: The beta version of One UI 7 will first be available for the Galaxy S24 series and Samsung’s foldable lineup, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Following Weeks: Other flagship devices like the Galaxy S23 and S22 series are expected to receive the beta after the initial release, allowing a broader set of users to test the new software and provide feedback before the stable version goes live.
Stable Version Rollout:
January 2025: The official, stable version of One UI 7 is expected to debut alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25 series. Following this, the stable version will begin to roll out to older flagship models, including:
Galaxy S24
Galaxy S23
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6
Previous foldable models like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5
Mid-range and Other Devices:
Early-to-mid 2025: Popular mid-range models, including the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy A73, are also expected to receive the update once the stable release has been distributed to Samsung’s high-end devices. Other eligible devices in the A and M series will likely receive the update in mid-2025.
Samsung’s structured approach ensures that the update is thoroughly tested before it’s made available to the larger user base, offering a refined and bug-free experience.
