The One UI 7 beta program is about to launchLots of new features have already leakedThe full version of the software is arriving in 2025
Android 15 has now been pushed out to Pixel handsets, and a major leak has revealed more about Samsung’s own One UI 7 take on the software – with Galaxy owners possibly getting the chance to try it out later this month.
This major leak comes from Android Headlines, and it’s a comprehensive rundown of the features in One UI 7. There are redesigned icons for a start, which now look more modern and easy on the eye, as well as a revamped and tidier quick settings panel.
We also get a look at the updated lock screen here, with live widgets showing playback controls, timers, and so on. Notifications are moved to a separate panel as well, making them easier to access and manage.
Other improvements include maths and physics support in Circle to Search, extra health insights in Energy Score, a full suite of parental controls, and a stack of photo-editing upgrades too, such as AI-powered restyling of portrait shots.
One UI 7 availability
It will take another half month before Beta startsNovember 1, 2024
A lot of the leaks mentioned by Android Headlines have been previously rumored, so we’ve now got a very good idea of what’s on the way to Galaxy phones. The next question is, when are we going to get it?
According to well-known tipster Ice Universe, the beta will be available in “another half month”, which puts it right in the middle of November. Anyone with a compatible Samsung phone should then be able to try out the early version of the software.
SamMobile has spotted new sub-forums on the Samsung site dedicated to the One UI 7 beta, and speculates that the beta program might be announced at a developer conference in South Korea scheduled for November 21.
As for the final version of One UI 7 that will be pushed out to everyone, Samsung has confirmed that it’ll arrive early in 2025 – very probably in January, at the same time as the Galaxy S25 series of flagship phones.
