Bad news for Galaxy S24 owners
You might need patience if you own a Galaxy S24 and are waiting for the new One UI 7.0 update. The stable version might not come for several months.
More Beta Updates for Galaxy S24
Samsung has just announced that another update for One UI 7.0 will come to the Galaxy S24 next week. However, insiders suggest there will be two more beta updates after that. This means there could be six beta versions in total.
According to @tarunvats33, the fifth beta update is expected in March 2025, with the sixth following in April 2025. This timeline suggests the stable One UI 7.0 update might not arrive until late April 2025.
- Beta 4: February 2025
- Beta 5: March 2025
- Beta 6: April 2025
If these predictions hold, other, less expensive Galaxy devices might get the update even later. By the time Samsung finishes updating to One UI 7.0 (which is based on Android 15), Google will likely be gearing up for the release of Android 16.
Google’s Update Schedule
Google typically rolls out new Android versions around the third quarter of each year. Samsung usually follows with its One UI update in the fourth quarter. However, this year, Samsung has already pushed back the update by at least four months, with the potential for another two months delay. The company mentioned that the delay was due to significant updates in this version of One UI.
User Frustration
This delay has already upset many Galaxy users, and further waiting will likely increase their frustration. Samsung’s slow rollout of One UI 7.0 has become a point of contention among its user base, eager for new features and improvements.
