Last week, Google released its first developer preview of the Android 15 operating system and now its features are getting unloaded individually. However, some of the prominent features of Android 15 such as File Integrity Manager are also expected to be included in One UI 7.
Android 15 DP1 introduces File Integrity Manager and as per the information of Tarun Vats, we can also expect Samsung to bring this useful feature with One UI 7 for Galaxy devices. Notably, this feature utilizes fs-verity to prevent unauthorized file modifications or malware attacks.
File integrity monitoring refers to a security process and technology that tests and checks operating system, database, and application software files to determine whether have been tampered with or corrupted. It verifies and validates files by comparing the latest versions to a known, trusted baseline.
Therefore, if FIM detects that files have been altered, updated, or compromised, the technology can generate alerts to ensure further investigation, and if necessary, remediation takes place. File integrity monitoring encompasses both reactive auditing as well as proactive, rules-based active monitoring.

However, if Samsung includes this File Integrity in its upcoming version of Android custom skin, then your precious data will become safer than ever. Users will also be able to use their applications without the fear of data loss or safety-related assaults.

Google pushed Android 15 to AOSP ahead of rollout to Pixel phones. Android vendors will now be able to use Android 15 as the base and tailor the experience. It’s a significant development for Samsung users waiting for the One UI 7 Beta update.
Samsung is continuously improving the One UI 7 experience through internal testing. The new OS’s AOSP availability will accelerate the testing for Galaxy devices. One UI 7 will have Android 15 as the base featuring modifications as per needs.
One UI is known as the most feature-rich Android skin in the market. One UI 7 is expected to debut unique features and customizations. AOSP release also ensures new Android 15 features would be incorporated into One UI.
Samsung developers would have been exploring new possibilities and experimenting with features. The latest additions would benefit the entire Galaxy community as well as other Android vendors as inspiration for a better user experience.
Pay attention, AOSP releases often include security patches to address vulnerabilities. Samsung has its own mechanism of security updates but it too relies on Android’s. Therefore, faster security updates likely follow the AOSP debut.
AOSP:
Simply put, AOSP is a general availability of Android 15 for modifications. Google has completed the Beta testing of the new OS and the QPR program has also started for Pixels. It’s now Android vendors’ turn to deploy the new update on their devices.
Google notes Android 15 will be available on Pixel devices in the coming weeks, as well as on select devices from Samsung, Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, Motorola, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi in the coming months.
