The all-new One UI 7 from Samsung is finally on the runway. S series users will be the first to experience it!
Samsung has confirmed that its highly anticipated One UI 7 update for the Galaxy S series is hitting the shelves very soon. The tech giant has said that the stable version of the update will begin rolling out to compatible Galaxy S devices shortly. However, the full rollout is expected to be completed by Q1 of 2025.
The development of One UI 7 included a comprehensive beta testing phase, which Samsung describes as their most successful to date.
'One UI 7' began its open beta testing in major countries at home and abroad on December 5th, and the first beta recruitment closed early, more than twice as fast as the previous One UI 6.

The One UI 7 update is ready to introduce a host of new features and improvements to the Galaxy S series. This includes a more refined user interface, better performance, and enhanced security.
Samsung has been actively testing the update, addressing bugs, and ensuring compatibility with a range of apps and services ahead of the official launch.
Samsung has specifically mentioned that the update will be available for devices starting from the Galaxy S21 series, covering the Galaxy S22, S23, and beyond. Other users can expect an over-the-air update notification once it’s ready for their device.
Samsung Electronics plans to supplement user feedback obtained through the beta program and install 'One UI 7' starting with the Galaxy S series to be released in the first quarter, and then sequentially apply it to existing Galaxy devices thereafter.
