At its Galaxy Unpacked event last month, Samsung introduced One UI 7, its custom UI skin based on Android 15, alongside the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 series. The beta version of One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra rolled out in December, but owners of older models like the Galaxy S23 series are still waiting for their turn. The big question now is: when will they finally get the update?
One UI 7 will debut with the Galaxy S25 series smartphones right out of the box, but other users will need to be patient. The rollout is expected to start with Galaxy S24 and S23 users, with reports hinting that the stable One UI 7 update could arrive within the next week. This timing aligns perfectly with the global launch of the Galaxy S25 series on February 7, which comes pre-loaded with One UI 7.
Why are we expecting the rollout so soon? The latest One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 series is reportedly stable, fueling the speculation. Rumors also suggest that after the S24 and S23 series get their updates, Samsung could start pushing One UI 7 to older devices in the first week of February. However, given Samsung’s history of phased rollouts, it may take a few weeks for all eligible devices to receive the update.
Samsung’s One UI 7 brings a host of exciting upgrades, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven enhancements and a smoother user experience. Some standout features include:
- Now Brief: A quick preview of relevant information.
- Now Bar: A streamlined, easily accessible interface for your most-used functions.
- Gemini-powered Shortcut: A new shortcut on the power button powered by Gemini for faster access.
- Upgraded Circle to Search: A revamped search tool for quicker results.
- Call Transcription: Transcribing your calls for easier reference.
- Writing Assist: Improved writing tools to help refine your messages and content.
- Drawing Assist: Enhanced drawing features for a better sketching experience.
