Long awaited Samsung One UI 7 update could precede Android 7 launch

With Android 15 expected by the end of the year, that arrival could be preceded by the launch of Samsung’s One UI 7. 

Samsung is said to be ready to test its version of the Google software upgrade, with a beta version tipped to be released by the end of July. 

One UI is a bespoke software application exclusive to Samsung designed to run “on top” of the main Android operating system on the device. It adds to the user experience, with personalization such as design and interface functions, smart widgets, and much more. 

The update on the launch of One UI 7 beta was provided by leaker Ice Universe (via Android Police), advising of the imminent drop unless any unforeseen circumstances arise. The mooted release follows the timeline of the previous version, One UI 6, which was available in mid-August 2023 but as ever, the lure of a new beta comes with the risk of various bugs and minor issues to unravel.

Once the new software is finalized and ready for full distribution, it will be applied across Samsung’s latest devices. One UI 7 has been tipped to resemble iOS 18 in its appearance and design, as part of an overall significant software update, but at present, new issues like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 are loaded with Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1.
