Table of Contents
Samsung’s highly anticipated One UI 7 operating system is inching closer to its official release, but recent leaks suggest the public beta program might be more exclusive than initially expected. With the Galaxy S25 launch on the horizon, details are emerging about the rollout of One UI 7, and it seems some Samsung users may be left out in the cold.
The Galaxy S24 series is expected to debut in early 2025, ushering in the next generation of Samsung flagships and the official launch of One UI 7. The first two public beta versions have already been released, generating excitement among users. Though, the upcoming beta releases might potentially be considerably more limited.
According to a recent leak on X (formerly twitter) from @FamilyTaes, “S24 series OneUI 7 beta 3 will release between 30th~6th (Can be +- 2 days). After beta 3 there’d be 2~3 more beta builds at max. S23/22/21/A series won’t have any beta program. Stable rollout schedule will be announced at unpacked,22nd Jan (most probably Feb 1st~2nd week).” This suggests that only Galaxy S24 owners will be eligible for the remaining beta versions, excluding previous flagship models like the Galaxy S23, and also the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.
This decision by Samsung could be a strategic move to focus resources on optimizing One UI 7 for its newest hardware.While disappointing for owners of older devices, it’s not unprecedented for beta programs to prioritize the latest models. The official stable release of One UI 7 is expected sometime in February 2025, according to the leak.
This news highlights the importance of staying updated on software releases and considering the lifespan of your smartphone when making a purchase. While Samsung’s decision may be frustrating for some, it underscores the company’s commitment to providing a smooth and optimized user experiance on its latest devices.
Samsung One UI 7 Update: A Closer look at the Galaxy S23 and beyond
Samsung fans eagerly await the arrival of One UI 7, the next iteration of the company’s popular Android skin. While official details remain scarce, whispers from reliable sources paint a clearer picture of the rollout timeline and which devices will receive the update.
According to a well-connected tipster, @FamilyTaes, on Twitter (December 24, 2024 Tweet), the focus on a smaller number of devices for initial beta testing suggests a streamlined development process. This is likely due to Samsung’s increased integration of AI into its operating system, making comprehensive testing on a wider range of devices less crucial in the early stages.
The same source predicts that One UI 7 beta 3 will launch between December 28, 2024, and January 8, 2025. “2 or 3 more beta versions at most,” @FamilyTaes tweeted, hinting at a rapid transition to the stable release.
One UI 7 Stable Release: Galaxy S23 and Beyond
With the next Galaxy Unpacked event slated for January 22, 2025, the timeframe for the stable One UI 7 release is rapidly approaching. This leaves Samsung with a limited window to address any remaining bugs and finalize new features before the official launch.
While the Galaxy S24 series will undoubtedly be among the first to receive the update, Samsung’s commitment to software updates extends beyond its flagship models. Owners of Galaxy S23 devices can expect the update soon after the S24 launch. Moreover, the update is expected to reach a wide range of devices, including the Galaxy S21 series (galaxy S21), foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, and select tablets and mid-range devices.
Based on @FamilyTaes’s timeline,the official rollout of One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 and S23 series is anticipated during the first or second week of february. Other compatible devices will follow shortly thereafter.
