Samsung Android 15 One UI 7 Update
Hey, Samsung fans! Android 15 will arrive on Samsung devices later this year, but we are already hearing a lot about the One UI 7.0 update. Google will release Stable Android 15 in October, while Samsung is likely to announce the One UI 7 Beta shortly.
Samsung is internally working on the Android 15 One UI 7.0 update. The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get it on both Beta and Stable channels. Dozens of Galaxy devices are eligible for this major upgrade, forming a pretty big rollout later this year.
Android 15
The new OS entered Developer Preview in February and Public Beta in April. Google so far released four major Public Beta updates for Pixel devices. The Android 15’s QPR Beta activity has also started ahead of the October release for Pixels.
Android 15 focuses on improving device performance and power efficiency. It’s also well-optimized for the artificial intelligence era. Consumers can expect faster app loading, longer battery backup, enhanced security and privacy, and core improvements at the OS level.
One UI 7
Samsung might kick off the One UI 7 Beta Program my mid-September. For the Galaxy S23 series, the company released the first Beta in August 2023. Well, events aren’t the same for the Galaxy S24 series this year as the Beta Program is delayed.
The Korean tech giant may expand the Beta trial to select mid-range phones. Galaxy A55, Galaxy A35, and some Galaxy M series phones may also be eligible. Like every year, One UI 7 Beta should be available in at least 7 countries including the US.
One UI 7.0
Samsung is set to hold this year’s Developer Conference on October 3. The event’s stage will be utilized to introduce new One UI 7 features and enhancements. Besides, One UI 6 Watch and Tizen OS upgrades for TVs may also be unveiled by the Korean tech giant.
One UI Beta build can be installed on your primary handset, but we prefer avoiding it. If you don’t want to counter bugs and functional errors, Beta activity isn’t for you. Consider waiting till the Stable rollout commences as Samsung will also provide new features with One UI 6.1.1.
