Which Samsung device will be first to get One UI 7.0 update, Galaxy S25 or S24?
Samsung officially revealed a sneak peek at the upcoming One UI 7 software. The company confirmed final version will debut with the Galaxy S25 next year, while the Beta is probably coming to the S24 series by the end of this year.
Let’s discuss which Samsung device will be the first to get the One UI 7.0 update.
One UI 7 Beta is coming in 2024 while the Galaxy S25 will launch in 2025. This means the new One UI version will go live before the next Unpacked. However, the software may remain in the Beta phase till January Unpacked.
The Galaxy S24 series may be the first to get One UI 7, but not the final version. The Stable update is officially scheduled alongside the S25 launch. Hence, the next flagship lineup will be the first to come pre-loaded with the One UI 7.0 version.
SDC24 was so nice 🚀

The Galaxy S24 could be the first to receive the One UI 7.0 OTA and the S25 might launch with it right out of the box. No matter which device gets the update first, One UI 7.0 is set to bring some exciting features.
Well, users don’t care much about first and last. Samsung has heavily delayed this year’s software distribution. Therefore, the first priority should be a faster and more seamless rollout of the Android 15 update whenever it begins.
Pushing the update to the Galaxy S24 series and sequential expansion won’t be welcomed. Samsung must ensure all the compatible Galaxy phones (at least flagship) would receive the update at the same time – the same as Apple and Google.
One UI 7 – Simple, Impactful and Emotive
Samsung’s upcoming software significantly enhances user experience with new features, improved customization, and better performance. Galaxy users also expect smoother animations and enhanced battery management.
The One UI 7 could debut more options for themes, icons, and widgets to customize your Galaxy. New camera modes and easily accessible settings for capturing high-quality photos and videos will also be included.
We are in October 2024 and Samsung is rolling out a new update for the Galaxy A33 5G smartphone, which brings the September 2024 security patch to improve system security and stability. The update is available for users in Brazil and the company will soon expand it to more countries.
September 2024 security update fixes several Samsung and Google vulnerabilities to make the device’s performance smoother. It includes 1 critical issue and 43 high-level ones for Google. One of these issues was already fixed in earlier updates, and another one doesn’t impact Galaxy devices.
In addition, Samsung is adding 23 of its fixes to improve security. These vulnerabilities are mainly related to My Files, Theme Center, One UI Home, Knox, and Dex. This update makes the smartphone more reliable, secure, and stable.
Users of Samsung Galaxy A33 5G are getting a September 2024 security update with One UI build version A336MUBSAEXI8. They will have to download a 262MB package to install the update. It is an initial rollout so it may take some hours or days to reach all models.
If you have received the notification of the update then install it now to get a bug-free experience. You can also check the update by visiting the Settings app on your smartphone and opening the Software Update section.
Now, click on the Download and install option. If any update is available, you can follow the on-screen instructions to install the update on your Galaxy smartphone.
Notably, the update is based on Android 14-based One UI 6.1. This device is eligible for the next major One UI update, One UI 7, based on Android 15. Samsung is going to release a stable One UI 7 in January 2025 along with the Galaxy S25 series. After its debut, Samsung will make its wider rollout for all eligible devices.

Samsung’s recent SmartThings update broke many Galaxy S10 and Note10 devices. Following the reports, the company pulled the update and apologized to consumers. A new release is also reportedly released through Galaxy Store.
Isn’t it too late?
The glitchy SmartThings update led many Galaxy users to lose their data for no reason. As soon as users installed the SmartThings update, their phone was stuck in the boot loop. There’s no solution but to factory reset the device through Recovery.
Samsung acknowledges the recent SmartThings update affected some Galaxy phones running Android 12. We have recently reported problems appearing on Galaxy phones such as the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series.
Samsung revealed that it had stopped updating the SmartThings as soon as it became aware of the issue and working on a solution “as a matter of urgency.” If you have experienced any inconvenience, please contact your nearest service center.
Some Galaxy smartphones running Android 12-based One UI operating system, such as the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 series, have experienced a repeated boot error when updating to the latest version of the SmartThings app.
If you have an idea of factory reset through Recovery, you don’t need to visit the service center. Be aware that you would need to log in with the same Google Account that you were using before factory resetting the device.
Manual data wipe puts Google’s FRP lock for security purposes. In case you don’t have access to credentials, a service center visit is necessary. Samsung may have notified their repair partners to assist you nicely with seamless repairs.
🚨 Heads up, Galaxy users!
