While Google prepares to launch Android 15 for its Pixel devices and other smartphones, Samsung is busy crafting its own unique flavor of the operating system: One UI 7. This upcoming release, teased at the 2024 Samsung Developer Conference (SDC), centers around the principles of “simple, impactful, and emotive.” Samsung promises a significant overhaul with a brand new UX design, focusing on enhancing user experience.

Anticipated Release Timeline

Beta release: Developers can expect a beta version of One UI 7 before the end of this year. Interested users will likely need to sign up for access.
Stable release: The official launch of One UI 7 is slated for next year, coinciding with the release of the new Galaxy (presumably the Galaxy S25 series).

Predicted Devices Eligible for the Update

Although the Galaxy S25 series (Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra) will debut with One UI 7 pre-installed, a range of other Samsung devices are also anticipated to receive the update. This speculation is based on the typical update cycles and Samsung’s commitment to providing major Android updates for its devices.
