In summer, a reliable source had already shared the anticipated release date for the first One UI 7 beta version, which is based on Android 15, set for August 29. However, after that announcement, there was silence, and no updates followed. Rumors suggest that Samsung decided to delay the new One UI version due to numerous bugs, but they haven't made any official comments about it—until now.
Samsung's Developer Conference Update
During the recent developer conference, Samsung finally revealed its plans, which are likely to disappoint eager Samsung enthusiasts. The update for Android 15 on Galaxy devices will arrive much later this year compared to last year's Android 14. The Galaxy S23 series was the first to get One UI 6 in October 2023, but One UI 7 is expected to take significantly longer to be released.
Timeline for One UI 7
Samsung has stated that the initial One UI 7 version for developers will be available this year, but the complete version for devices like the Galaxy S24 (which is available here at Amazon) will be launched alongside the Galaxy S25 in January 2025. The reasons for this extended timeline have also been hinted at. Besides the updates regarding Android 15, a major redesign is on the way, which is anticipated to simplify user experience, along with new Galaxy AI features that are expected to debut.
Looking Ahead
As Samsung moves forward, users can look forward to these enhancements, albeit with a longer wait than many had hoped for. The upcoming changes are set to bring a fresh look and smart capabilities to the Galaxy lineup, making the anticipation worthwhile for those who appreciate innovation in their devices.
