Samsung's One UI 7 Rollout: Is Your Galaxy Phone on the List?
Samsung is gearing up to expand the rollout of its One UI 7 update, based on Android 15, to a wider range of Galaxy devices starting next week. Initially launched with the Galaxy S25 series, this update will soon be available for older models, including the Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy S24 FE.
New Features and Improvements in One UI 7
The One UI 7 update introduces a fresh user interface redesign, offering improved icons, smoother animations, and an enhanced notification panel. Additionally, the lock screen and quick settings panel have been updated to provide a more intuitive user experience.
One of the most notable changes in One UI 7 is Samsung’s shift towards Google’s Phone, Messages, and Contacts apps. This move is aimed at improving RCS (Rich Communication Services) support for Samsung users.
Samsung has also made changes to certain features:
-
Samsung DeX for PC is being phased out in favor of alternatives like Link to Windows.
-
Some Edge Panels have been removed to streamline the interface.
-
New ringtones and notification sounds have been introduced, marking the first major audio update since the Galaxy S20 series.
Additionally, One UI 7 is expected to be integrated into Samsung’s ecosystem beyond smartphones, extending to smart TVs, monitors, projectors, and home appliances.
Which Devices Will Get One UI 7 Next?
The update will first roll out to select devices, including the Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, and Galaxy S24 FE. Samsung plans to gradually release it for older flagship models like the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold and Flip series, and select Galaxy A-series devices.
