Samsung announces one UI 7 update for devices with these features
Samsung announced the One UI 7 update for its smartphones and other devices on Thursday at the Samsung Developer Conference 2024 in San Jose. The South Korean tech conglomerate previewed the upcoming update, hinting at a completely redesigned interface, new design elements, and other additions. It also revealed One UI 7’s expected release timeline, including its rollout to registered beta testers and the first Samsung device it will power.
One UI 7 update features
According to for Samsung, the One UI 7 update includes three core goals: purposeful simplicity, distinctive impression and emotional attachment. The company says the One UI 7 is designed to understand what the user is trying to do and minimize complexity. The design has been streamlined to ensure a cleaner look and greater consistency.
However, One UI 7 will still retain some of the signature design elements of Samsung’s Android skin that have been familiar to Galaxy users for years. Another addition is a new blur system that aims to increase user satisfaction. One of the new features previewed by the smartphone maker is a new home screen grid that is now said to be “slicker” and easier to use regardless of the Galaxy device in use.
One UI 7 is expected to bring Android 15 to Samsung smartphones. Notably, the next-generation Android operating system (OS) was released globally last month, but only a handful of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have rolled it out for their devices. Samsung has confirmed that One UI 7 will support Good Lock, opening up similar customization options as One UI 6, the latest software version.
One release date of the UI 7 update
Samsung says the new One UI 7 update will be available in beta on Galaxy devices later this year. The official version of the software update will be released to all users starting next year, with the next Samsung Galaxy S series being the first devices to ship with One UI 7. This will likely be the Galaxy S25 series, which is speculated its debut in early 2025.
