Samsung will soon launch the 5G variant of its affordable Galaxy A06 smartphone. A new report sheds light on the phone’s specifications. It seems the new $150 Samsung phone could be shipped with Stable One UI 7 in the US.

The company has recently launched the Galaxy F06 in India. This entry-level smartphone costs around $110 and ships with Android 15-based One UI 7, however, it won’t be available in markets like the United States.

Meanwhile, Samsung could bring the Galaxy A06 5G to the US, which is said to boot Stable One UI 7 out of the box. The smartphone may join its 4G/LTE sibling, which is available in a handful of markets including the US.

While Samsung continues to launch new phones with One UI 7, the new software is painfully delayed for flagships launched in the past. The S24 series users are stuck in the Beta Program while there’s no info for the S23 and S22 series.

Recent rumors indicate that the One UI 7 Beta Program may not end until April 2025. Owners of the Galaxy S24 series may receive the fourth Beta this month. Wild rumors even claim that the Beta 5 and Beta 6 are also planned.

It’s a crime to compare the Galaxy A06 5G with Samsung flagships. There’s literally nothing to compare but the fact that continues to haunt is that a $150 entry-level phone is getting Stable One UI 7 even before the $1300 flagship models.

Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed the Galaxy A06 5G handset. However, the company is highly likely to bring it to key regions such as Asia, Europe, and America to offer affordable 5G, following the earlier launch of the Galaxy A06 LTE.

Samsung reportedly plans to launch five foldable phones this year. A new input suggests that Samsung is currently working on three foldables: Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7, and an affordable Galaxy Z Flip; to be launched in 2025.

Insider MaxJambor claims that Samsung’s 2025 foldable lineup includes the B7, B7R, and Q7. The codenames, specifically, BS and Q7, translate to the Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, while the B7R could be an affordable Flip-style foldable smartphone.

These three models are expected to be unveiled at the Unpacked event in the second half. In addition, Samsung could debut two more foldables within 2025 including a Galaxy Z Fold SE successor and a G Fold (tri-fold).

Samsung’s Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 successors will be equipped with upgraded hardware. The camera department is unlikely to get modern hardware, but the company may bring enhanced OLED screens with better quality and efficiency.

Meanwhile, the cheaper model is said to be produced in limited volume, therefore, country-wise availability remains yet to be known. With an affordable foldable offering, Samsung would target an even broader consumer base.

More foldables in Q4?

The additional two foldable models could be introduced later this year. In 2024, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition in the fourth quarter in just two countries including China (as W25) and South Korea as Fold SE.

The Special Edition foldable model could feature a more streamlined design and features. Tri-fold will deploy a brand new product segment in Samsung’s product lineup, rumored to be the Galaxy G with panel production likely in July this year.

Samsung fans have been eagerly waiting for the latest One UI 7 software update, but the latest news isn’t what they were hoping for.

There’s growing disappointment among Galaxy users, especially those with the Galaxy S24 series, as the rollout faces unexpected delays. With so many rumors floating around about the timeline for One UI 7, I reached out to a trusted insider source to get the real story. What I learned sheds light on why the update is taking longer than expected and what it means for Samsung users.

Clearing Up the Rumors: What’s Happening?

With all the talk about One UI 7, I wanted to get clear answers about the beta and final One UI 7 release plans. Here’s what my insider shared with me:

As you read above, this was surprising to me. The 4th One UI 7 beta build wasn’t even supposed to happen, but Samsung had to add it because the stable version for the Galaxy S25 series—especially the S25 Ultra—isn’t ready (ready means it didn’t meet Samsung’s expectations for performance and optimization). Naturally, I wanted to know why. I asked “Any specific reason?”

This lack of clarity is frustrating, but it explains why Samsung is taking extra time. The One UI 7 version for the Galaxy S25 series isn’t ready, it’s holding up everything else.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been testing One UI 7 on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and it doesn’t feel stable at all. This matches with what my source mentioned about the software not meeting Samsung’s expectations for performance and optimization. The device is still running Android 15-based One UI 7 with the outdated December 2024 security patch, the delay isn’t surprising, right?

What About Older Devices?

With the S25 series taking priority, I asked about older devices like the S24, S23, and S22. When can users expect One UI 7 on those phones? Is there any timeline for that?

This means older Galaxy phones won’t see One UI 7 until Samsung sorts out the S25 series. If things don’t go smoothly, that late March timeline could slip even further.

For the Galaxy S24 series users, the delay is especially disappointing. I asked when they can expect the stable One UI 7 update.

So, the S24’s stable update depends entirely on how well the unplanned 4th beta goes. If there are still issues, the wait could stretch on.

Any Connection to the Galaxy S25 Edge?

There’s been a lot of talk about the Galaxy S25 Edge and whether its launch is connected to the One UI 7 delay. I asked my source to clear this up.

This puts those rumors to rest. The S25 Edge isn’t part of the equation—at least not yet.

Based on my conversation with the insider, it’s clear that Samsung’s priority right now is getting One UI 7 ready for the Galaxy S25 series, particularly the S25 Ultra. The unplanned 4th beta shows there are still problems to solve, and until they’re fixed, the S24 series and older phones will have to keep waiting. Not knowing the reason for the delay makes it more frustrating, and with no plans after the 4th beta, the timeline for stable updates remains uncertain.

For S24 users, the next few weeks are crucial. If the 4th beta goes well, we might see a stable release sooner rather than later. But if problems continue, the wait could stretch on.

Samsung fans are openly frustrated with these delays. After waiting for months, many thought One UI 7 would roll out easily, especially for flagship phones like the S24 series. Social media is full of complaints, with users feeling like their current devices are being sidelined. This isn’t the news anyone wanted, and Samsung needs to fix this fast before fans lose trust.

Disclaimer: This article is based on exclusive information from a trusted insider and reflects the current state of One UI 7’s development.

Samsung has released the Stable One UI 7 with Galaxy S25 series but a more refined version would come out by the end of March. The company is still working to optimize the One UI 7 software for the newly launched Galaxy flagships.

The Galaxy S25 series was unveiled at the Unpacked event on January 22. After 11-day-long preorders, Samsung released the flagships on February 7. The same date marked the release of the Stable One UI 7 version powered by Android 15.

Samsung can delay the software’s release but it’s difficult to shift flagship device reveal. Launching new flagship phones with outdated (One UI 6.1) software doesn’t make sense so a nearly perfect version apparently powers the S25 models.

The Korean tech giant has recently released a February 2025 security patch for the Galaxy S25 series. The first firmware update also reportedly brings camera lithography-related fixes to elevate the photography experience.

Meanwhile, the full potential of One UI 7 is yet to benefit the S25 series. All the features and services work just perfectly but there’s room for improvements across the system software that Samsung would ensure by the end of March.

Samsung is bringing One UI a big revamp

One UI 7 expansion for older phones is unlikely to start until April 2025. Samsung still has to do a lot of work on the software’s optimization. Three Betas have been provided so far and three more are reportedly planned until April.

After skipping the Galaxy S25 series, the One UI 7.1 version is unlikely to debut in the Galaxy S25 Edge. A recent report also claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 might be introduced with the One UI 7.0.1 version.

Samsung Galaxy S25 series is now available for purchase in Malaysia. The company today detailed available colors and offers for the shoppers. The new flagships are available in different storage and elegant colorways plus offers up to RM1,500.

Considering upgrade? Now, you can own the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at a decent price in Malaysia. The company has launched a big S25 series sales campaign which will be running from today until March 31st, 2025.

Shoppers can avail offers worth up to RM1,500 off toward the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The top-tier flagship can also be bought with a 0% interest installment plan of up to 36 months. Refer to the chart below for more information.

The Galaxy S25 series introduces harmonious Galaxy AI integrated with Gemini. Google’s AI model also offers Extensions, linking the most useful Samsung Apps with the power of AI for effortless and seamless execution of AI tasks.

On-device AI capabilities have also been upgraded, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. In addition, all Galaxy S25 devices will come with six months of Gemini Advanced and 2TB of cloud storage at no extra cost.
