Getting ready for the One UI 7.0 Beta: Here’s your complete guide

Samsung fans are eagerly waiting as the company is set to unveil the One UI 7.0 beta program. The One UI interface has enhanced over time, making things easier, smoother, and packed with more features for users. Here’s everything you need to know to get ready for this major One UI update.

The One UI 7.0 is aimed to introduce significant enhancements to Samsung’s UI, built on top of Android 15. This beta phase allows users to experience these changes before the official release.

Remember, Samsung has not yet announced a specific date but has confirmed that the beta might start by the end of 2024.
