Samsung is already testing One UI 7.0, the next version of its software based on Android 15. This new update is being tested on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and we can expect to see a public beta in the coming months.
The One UI 7 beta program is likely to start first for the Galaxy S24 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. After a few months of testing, the Galaxy S23 series should also get access. We can expect the stable version of One UI 7 to be released for high-end devices in the Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series.
Samsung One UI 7.0 Beta Updates
Samsung has promised four major Android OS updates and 5 years of security updates for the Galaxy S23 series, which also includes the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.
One UI 7 Announcement Timeline
Based on previous years, Samsung typically unveils new versions of One UI between October and December. With the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2024 scheduled for October 3rd in San Jose, there’s a good chance we’ll get a closer look at One UI 7 then.
One UI 7 Features and Devices
One UI 7 is built on Android 15 and is expected to bring more than just a few tweaks. Samsung plans to update over 50 Galaxy devices, including smartphones and tablets. The recent release of Android 15 beta 3 by Google marks a key milestone indicating that the platform is stable, allowing Samsung to move forward with One UI 7. We could see the beta program starting as early as the third quarter of this year, with a stable release likely in the fourth quarter for high-end Galaxy devices. Mid-range and entry-level devices will follow later.
