(Beta Software Update
Version – ZTJA
New Features
Visual design We’ve refreshed the look and feel of One UI 3 in lots of ways, big and small, from new, more consistent icons to smarter organization of the quick panel and notifications. Motion is smoother and more natural than ever, with improved animations and haptic feedback for common interactions. And the interface responds to different screen sizes to provide the best experience on any device, whether it’s a phone, foldable, or tablet.
Improved performance We optimized One UI 3 with enhanced dynamic memory allocation, so apps run faster and perform better. We’ve also restricted background activities to provide better performance and power usage.
Enhanced features
Home screen and Lock screen
• Add widgets by touching and holding an app icon on the Home screen. • Turn off the screen by double tapping on an empty space on the Home or Lock screen. (Set it up in Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures.) • On the Lock screen, tap the clock area to see widgets like calendar, weather, and music. • New image categories have been added to Dynamic Lock screen, and you can select up to 5 categories at once. • Get an interactive preview when setting a wallpaper • We’ve made it easier to edit the Always On Display and Lock screen.
Calls and chats
• See conversations separately in the notification panel. Works with Messages and your favorite chat apps. • Add a call background to see a picture or video when you make or receive a call.
Pictures and videos
• Take pictures quicker with improved autofocus and auto exposure. • View, edit, and share pictures and videos more easily from Gallery. • Find pictures and videos quicker with new search features and categories in Gallery. • Revert edited pictures to their original versions at any time, even after they’re saved, so you never lose a shot.
Settings
• Settings has a new simpler look and feel. Your Samsung account is shown at the top, and Home screen settings are now easier to access. • Find the settings you need more easily with new Search features. You’ll get better results for synonyms and common misspellings, and you can tap on tags to see groups of related settings. • Quick settings buttons have been reduced to provide only the most commonly used features. You can also add buttons to create your own customized quick panel.
Samsung Keyboard
• Increased the number of input languages to 370. • Made it easier to paste copied images and verification codes from text messages. • Added emoji and sticker suggestions when you enter a text-based emoticon. • Improved the keyboard layout to provide a larger space bar when entering web and email addresses. • Reorganized Keyboard settings so it’s easier to access frequently used settings.
Productivity
Maintain a healthy balance between work and life by minimizing repetitive and complicated tasks and handling them efficiently. • Bixby Routines has, even more, controls to help you automate your life, including a setting to return everything to the way it was before the routine ran. • New routines will be recommended based on your daily life and usage patterns. • New icons and Lock screen widgets make it easier to find and control your routines. • In Internet, you can hide the status and navigation bars for a more immersive experience and quickly translate webpages. • You’ll be prompted to block websites that send too many pop-ups or notifications. • You can browse and select cloud drive files from the file selection screen in My Files. • You can now delete cache files in My Files to easily free up storage space. • Events with the same start time are displayed together in the month and list views in Calendar.
Easy media and device control
Media and device control is easier with the improved media panel in notifications. You can see recently used media apps and quickly change the playback device. You can also quick-launch Android Auto by selecting it from the Connections menu in Settings.
Identify and improve your digital habits
Improved Digital Wellbeing features make it easy to check how you’re using your phone or tablet and help you form good digital habits. Check your usage while driving or see weekly changes in your screen time by function at a glance through upgraded weekly reports. You can also use Digital Wellbeing with separate personal and work profiles.
Accessibility for everyone
One Ul 3 recommends useful accessibility features for you based on your usage. The improved Accessibility shortcut makes accessibility features easier to start and use. You can use the Speak keyboard input aloud feature to get voice feedback of your typing even when TalkBack is turned off.
Stronger privacy protection
You can now let an app access to your microphone, camera, or location just one time. Any permissions that an app hasn’t used in a while will be automatically revoked. You can no longer give apps permission to always see your location in the regular permission popup. To let apps access your location when they’re not in use, you need to go to the location permission page for the app in Settings.
Additional improvements
• In Clock, you can hear the time and preset name of the alarm read aloud when an alarm rings. • Easily remove duplicate contacts stored in the same account in Contacts. The storage period for deleted contacts has been extended from 15 days to 30 days. • You can view and edit the entire list of linked contacts in the integrated editing screen in Contacts. • Added Trash in Messages so that recently deleted messages are stored for 30 days. • Added Do not disturb for games so that you can focus on playing, as well as other improvements for enhanced performance.
Some apps will need to be updated separately after the One UI 3 update.
Thank you.

Samsung has started testing One UI 7 (Android 15) on Galaxy S23 FE. It’s the first time when the software server has listed the latest build for the device. An internal test build has been spotted, suggesting the Beta is unlikely for the S23 FE.
Recently, an internal One UI 7 (Android 15) build surfaced on Samsung’s software server for the Galaxy S23 FE. The build carries PDA version number S711BXXU6EXKM, where “E” refers to a major version bump in the near future.
Samsung has significantly delayed this year’s Beta Program. The owners of Galaxy S25 smartphones still missing out access to the One UI 7 Beta. The public rollout is delayed till the first half of the next year.
Well, this long wait will end up bringing fruitful upgrades to your Galaxy. The company is exploring a brand new interface across the OS. Many new features are being added in the One UI 7, with AI upgrades due for the One UI 7.1 software.
Google and some other Android vendors started a stable Android 15 update rollout. The distribution commenced after months of Beta testing. Beyond that, Google has just kickstarted the Developer Beta of the Android 16 operating system.
One UI 7.0 update is expected to be released for your Galaxy S23 FE by February 2025. Samsung will unveil the final version alongside the Galaxy S25 series next year. Later on, eligible devices will begin getting the major firmware update.
Galaxy S23 FE runs an Exynos 2200 chip, offering decent performance. Samsung’s next big upgrade will elevate your phone’s animation and transitions to a whole new level. A tipster has recently revealed key information about the changes.
The software will introduce redesigned Quick Settings, independent Notification Panel, rounded UI components, smoother animations, reliable transition effects, faster app opening experience, easily accessible Camera toggles and a lot more.
Samsung has already begun rolling out the long-awaited One UI update for its smart TVs, based on Tizen OS 8.0. It introduces a design overhaul that brings elements of its smartphone UI to the big screen. Although the overall experience still feels distinct from the One UI found on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
The One UI update for smart TVs brings changes to the Daily Board feature. This screen shows useful widgets and wallpapers, and now it has a more One UI-inspired design. Widgets like Weather, Notes, Tips, and SmartThings Home Status now have a similar look to what you’d see on a Galaxy phone.
Samsung Weather and SmartThings widgets look almost identical to the ones on smartphones. Moreover, the Samsung Notes app icon is also familiar.

With the Daily Board, you can choose which widgets you want to display, change the background wallpaper, and set up automatic widget rotation. If you place more than four widgets on the screen, they will rotate automatically. However, there are some limitations. You can’t set a custom wallpaper only the preloaded options are available.
While the One UI update brings some fresh features, Samsung’s TV interface still has a lot of the old Tizen design. The Settings menu still looks very much like it did before, and the app icons, while similar, don’t fully match the modern style of One UI on phones.
Samsung is making progress in bringing One UI to its TVs, but there’s more work to be done. Future updates may bring more changes to make the experience feel even more like the One UI on your smartphone or tablet.
Aside from this, Samsung recently released a new update for the Daily Board app, which brings Night Clock mode and bug fixes to enhance users’ experience.
Samsung One UI 7 will introduce crazy innovations to the animation segment. While Galaxy users want iOS-like reliable animations, Samsung has reportedly made great progress in offering a refreshed and appealing user experience.
Tipster IceUniverse shared key details about Samsung One UI 7 Beta animations. The source has also highlighted that the changes that appear in the Beta version would be adjusted as per the consumer feedback and suggestions.
One UI 7 Animation Innovations
On-screen animation to debut a soothing wallpaper shrinking effect. When you unlock, the software will render a bouncing effect. Spring rebound animation has been applied to the aspect when you pull down from the interface.
One UI 7 continues the non-linear (interruptable) animations. Opening an app from the home screen and closing from the home gesture will offer an elegant appearance. The rapid app opening and closing animation/transition is also enhanced.
Your Galaxy’s system Settings have also added micro-animation and a new return animation effect. Home screen and lock screen widgets will also be fueled with rich effects as well as elastic animations for real-time notifications.
Here’s a brief exploration of what’s possible in the upcoming software:
Screen-on:
- The screen-on animation is a soothing wallpaper shrinking effect
Unlocking:
- The unlocking animation is a bouncing effect
Pull-down:
- The pull-down animation adds a spring rebound animation
App opening on the home screen:
- The home screen app opening animation adds a more non-linear floating feeling
App closing on the home screen:
- The home screen app return animation adds an icon pattern zoom effect
Continuous app opening and closing:
- Parallel animation for opening multiple apps continuously
Return to home from app:
- Full animation for sliding the app sideways to return to the home screen
In-Settings:
- Click any button to add a press rebound micro-animation and a new return animation effect
Widgets:
- Transition animations and new UI for widgets such as lock screen music
Notifications:
- Add elastic animations for real-time notifications in the home screen notification bar.
Without sharing the video, the leaker revealed detailed info about animation. It is expected that the first One UI 7 Beta will debut a never-before-seen experience on Galaxies. There would be transitional enhancements across the software.
Samsung could release One UI 7 Beta this month, while Public rollout will start early next year.
