Users can check this update through their device Settings >> Software Update >> Download and install.

Aside from this, Samsung is preparing to make the One UI 6.1.1 update available for other Galaxy devices. In addition to this, some flagships also appeared on the GeekBench platform with Android 15 and One UI 7.
Samsung Mobile Head reportedly brainstorming with One UI 7 developers. The aim is to ensure Galaxy’s Android 15 skin is excellently crafted. Samsung leaker claims TM Roh investing time on supervising the One UI 7 development.
The Android 15-based One UI 7 could usher in a new era of software excellence, thanks to the personal oversight of TM Roh, President and Head of the Mobile Experience Business at Samsung Electronics.
“TM Roh personally supervised the development of One UI 7. He began to pay special attention to the software experience, more than ever before.” – Ice Universe on X.
According to IceUniverse, TM Roh is spending time with One UI 7 development supervision. The head is currently paying special attention to the next software version. It is to be ensured that Galaxy users get an excellently crafted One UI upgrade.
Millions of Samsung consumers will get a major One UI upgrade this year. The company is currently working on the Alpha version of One UI 7. As soon as the test firmware reaches adequate stability, the Beta Program will kick off on the S24 series.
This year’s Samsung Developer Conference is scheduled for October 3rd. The company’s One UI vice president is expected to unveil the One UI 7 advancements. We expect the rollout to commence in late October for the most recent flagships.
One UI 7 – What to expect?
The upcoming One UI version could bring smoother animations, faster app launches, and overall system optimization. As always, we anticipate more epic options for tailoring the user interface to personal preferences.
One UI is based on Android, but Galaxy users deserve new features that set the One UI 7 apart from HyperOS and OxygenOS. As Apple entered the AI Phone segment, Samsung needs to grow its Galaxy AI suite further so Galaxies stay ahead.
One thing that is particularly worth noting is that TM Roh personally supervised the development of One UI 7. He began to pay special attention to the software experience, more than ever before.
