Samsung Android 15 One UI 7 Update
Samsung is preparing to roll out the much-anticipated Android 15 update with One UI 7.0 for its Galaxy devices later this year. While Google is set to release the public version of Android 15 in October, Samsung has delayed its One UI 7 Beta testing.
Android 15 Overview
Android 15 entered the Developer Preview stage in February, followed by Public Beta releases starting in April. Google has already released four major Public Betas for Pixel devices, with a final release expected soon. Android 15 focuses on enhancing device performance, optimizing power efficiency, and improving security and privacy features. Users can expect faster app loading times, better battery life, and improvements to AI-powered functionalities.
One UI 7 Features and Release
One UI 7, Samsung’s custom interface built on Android 15, is still under development. While Samsung typically releases Betas earlier, the One UI 7 Beta for the Galaxy S24 series has been delayed. This series is expected to be the first to receive the Beta and stable versions of One UI 7.
Samsung’s One UI 7 is expected to bring significant design changes, including more rounded UI elements, a new dynamic pill feature, and separated notification and quick settings panels. With the company’s developer conference (SDC24) set for October 3, more details about One UI 7 features are likely to be revealed, alongside updates to the Tizen OS and One UI 6 for smartwatches.
Expanded Beta for Mid-Range Devices
While the Galaxy S24 series will be the primary focus of the One UI 7 Beta, Samsung may expand testing to select mid-range devices, such as the Galaxy A55, A35, and some Galaxy M series phones. The Beta is expected to be available in at least seven countries, including the US.
Beta vs. Stable Release
Although users can install the Beta version on their primary devices, it’s recommended to wait for the stable release due to potential bugs and errors. Samsung is also planning a smaller update, One UI 6.1.1, which will come with new features before the full Android 15 rollout.
Latest Developments
Samsung has made progress with its internal testing of One UI 7. A new build for the Galaxy S24+ was recently spotted on Samsung’s servers. This suggests the Beta release is nearing. Recent updates also reveal that Samsung’s President of Mobile TM Roh has taken a personal interest in the development of One UI 7, ensuring an improved software experience.
While the Beta is still in testing, the stable rollout for One UI 7 is expected to begin later this year after the public Android 15 release.
