Samsung Expands One UI to All Devices by 2025: What to Expect for TVs and Home Appliances

amsung launched the One UI shell in 2018 as a successor to TouchWiz. With that name, the South Korean tech giant wanted to announce a new era in smartphone technology. Since then, phones have gotten bigger, and people prefer to operate them with one hand. The arrival of One UI, with a completely new design, was supposed to make this possible. Hence the ‘One’ in the name. Six years after the launch of One UI, Samsung announces that the software shell will be available on many more devices.

Household appliances and TV

Samsung will use the name for more types of devices. In addition to smartphones and smart watches A single UI is also expected to be available on home devices and TVs. With this, Samsung says “a smart product experience” to offeralthough it is not clear what exactly will change when One UI arrives on these devices.

For example, will Samsung roll out the One UI Android shell to its other devices, or is it mostly about the name? Samsung has been using its own Tizen OS shell for TVs for years, and it seems unlikely to us that the brand will suddenly switch to Android TV. However, the design of these software shells could be more coordinated. When it comes to home devices, the demand is even greater, because there is usually a small screen (or even no), so a wide UI does not seem necessary.

In addition to possible design changes, Samsung also promises longer support times for the software. As with Galaxy smartphones, this includes up to seven years of software support. At the moment, it is still a matter of speculation as to which devices are under this scheme. The company recently announced that it will continue to update its AI TVs for seven years.

One UI 7 disabled

It seems that Samsung is now taking longer to release its new One UI 7 update. While Samsung usually releases the latest Android version in the fall, the update is now only expected in the spring of 2025. The Galaxy S25 series will be the first to One will get UI 7, followed by other devices.
