One UI 7 Beta (Android 15) launch timeline, eligible Galaxy devices, and new features revealed

Samsung Galaxy users eagerly awaiting the release of One UI 7 with Android 15 will see the update roll out soon, though the timeline has shifted slightly. Samsung initially hinted that the One UI 7 beta would begin around early November, but recent reports suggest a two-week delay, putting the release closer to mid-November for the Galaxy S24 series. This new update will integrate Android 15 features with Samsung’s revamped interface, bringing advanced AI tools, updated visuals, and improved multitasking support.

One UI 7 Beta Release Date and Eligible Devices

Samsung introduced One UI 7 at the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) in October 2024, presenting users with a modern, polished interface. While beta testing is delayed, the program should still begin by mid-November in the U.S., starting with the Galaxy S24 series, followed by the Galaxy S23 and other flagship devices. The full release for eligible models, including Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and various Galaxy A and Tab S models, is expected early in 2025, likely around February after the Galaxy S25 launch.

Key Features of One UI 7 and Android 15

One UI 7 introduces several user-focused features. For instance, Samsung is working on a new “Dynamic Island”-style notification, a redesigned camera app interface, and more personalized widgets. Users can expect a “Continuity Notifications” feature, enabling calls and notifications to appear on any Galaxy device signed into the same account, making cross-device usage more seamless. Samsung is also focusing on new privacy tools, such as an improved App Lock feature, so users can secure specific apps with PINs or biometrics without relying on third-party software.

Beta Forums and Global Rollout

Samsung has already opened its beta forums in the U.S. to give Galaxy S24 and S23 users a place to report issues and engage with the update community. Once beta testing is completed, Samsung is projected to release One UI 7 globally in early 2025, with further updates likely refining features and expanding availability across more Galaxy models.

With the One UI 7 beta soon underway, Samsung is focusing on refining user experiences and enhancing productivity across Galaxy devices, setting up for an impactful release with Android 15 in the new year.
