Samsung is moving forward with its Android 15-based One UI 7 update, and the development process is gaining momentum. The beta version is reportedly close to being released for Galaxy flagship devices. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy A53 has surfaced in testing phases, suggesting exciting progress for mid-range users.
One UI 7 Testing Spotted for Galaxy A53
Recent activity has revealed that Samsung is testing One UI 7 for the Galaxy A53. A new firmware, labeled A536BXXUDFXK2, was found on Checkfirm servers, confirming that internal testing is ongoing. The tests seem to focus on devices in Europe, but this is an early phase of development. This firmware isn’t yet available for public beta testing, as it’s strictly an internal version.
Adding to the excitement, the Galaxy A53 also appeared on Geekbench in August, running Android 15 with One UI 7. These benchmarks indicate that the device is gearing up for its next significant software upgrade.
Will the Galaxy A53 Join the Beta Program?
While flagship models like the Galaxy S24 series will likely gain early access to One UI 7 beta programs, mid-range devices like the Galaxy A53 may need to wait longer. Historically, Samsung prioritizes its premium lineup for beta testing before extending updates to more devices.
The Galaxy A53 is not guaranteed to join the One UI 7 beta program, but it will undoubtedly receive the stable version of Android 15-based One UI 7 sometime in 2025, following the expected release of the Galaxy S25 series.
Galaxy A53: A Strong Software Track Record
The Galaxy A53 originally launched with Android 12 and One UI 4.1. Since its debut, it has received two major updates—Android 13 with One UI 5 and Android 14 with One UI 6 (expected before Android 15). When it receives the Android 15-based One UI 7, it will mark the third significant software upgrade for the device.
Samsung’s software policy ensures that the Galaxy A53 will also get Android 16 and One UI 8, delivering four years of major OS upgrades. This makes the A53 an attractive choice for users seeking long-term software support on a mid-range device.
What’s Next?
Samsung continues to make strides in its One UI 7 development. While Galaxy A53 users may have to wait longer for this update, the internal tests and Geekbench appearances highlight Samsung’s commitment to keeping its mid-range lineup relevant with the latest software innovations.
Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung gears up to officially launch the One UI 7 Beta Program. Flagship devices will lead the way, but the Galaxy A53’s eventual upgrade will ensure its position as a dependable mid-range contender in the Android ecosystem.
