Samsung's One UI 7 (Android 15) update, after multiple delays, is finally on the horizon. Initial plans for a 2024 release were pushed back, with the stable version now slated for a 2025 debut alongside the Galaxy S25 series.
One UI 7 Beta Release Timeline
Recent reports suggest further delays for the beta version. Initially expected this week, it's now anticipated in early December, starting in the US and Korea. Leaker Max Jambor corroborates this, while @FamilyTaes adds that the Galaxy S24 series should get the beta in the first week of December, followed by the S23 series within two weeks. The S22 series may also see a beta release, but the S21 series will likely skip the beta phase entirely.
Stable Release and Other Details
Samsung aims for a two-month beta period, with the stable One UI 7 update rolling out around February 2025. The update was initially plagued by delays and bugginess. Learn more about the One UI 7 update delay.
