Samsung is rolling out its latest software update, One UI 7, to more Galaxy phones. While this update brings a refreshed design and new features, Galaxy S22 series users may be disappointed. The update will not include many of the advanced AI features found on Samsung’s newest Galaxy S25 series.

Recently, a video appeared on Reddit that shows One UI 7 running on a Galaxy S22+ using Samsung’s Remote Test Lab. The video reveals that many of the Galaxy AI tools that come with the Galaxy S25 are missing from the Galaxy S22+.

These are some of the missing features that have been spotted through a leaked video of One UI 7 running on the Galaxy S22 Plus.

Audio Eraser

Audio Eraser allows users to adjust video audio by removing unwanted sounds and highlighting what matters. It scans videos to detect and separate sounds, working on both user-recorded clips and shared videos.

Now Brief

Now Brief is an AI-based feature that shows you a quick summary of important info right on your lock screen or in a widget. You can see updates about your calendar, news, weather, reminders, and more, all in one place.

Drawing Assist

Drawing Assist lets you create images using sketches, descriptions, or even other pictures. The AI has become better at understanding complex inputs, meaning the artwork generated is more realistic and creative.

Writing Assist

Writing Assist helps users improve the text they see on their screen. If you select some text from a webpage, a menu will appear with options to correct spelling and grammar, change the writing style, summarize the text, turn it into bullet points, or even create a completely new version

Unfortunately, the Galaxy S22 series won’t get these amazing AI features with the One UI 7 update. So, while Galaxy S22 users will have to miss out on these cool AI tools, the One UI 7 update brings several amazing features to provide a next-level experience.

Samsung’s update schedule shows the Galaxy S22 series will get One UI 7 sometime next month. However, it’s clear that Samsung is saving its best AI features for its newest phones.

Samsung’s April 2025 update brings new One UI 7 features to Galaxy S25 series, expansion started

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra spotted running Android 16-based One UI 8 build. The leaked internal test build brings subtle changes to the user interface, new dynamic wallpaper colors, tweaked apps, plus a buggy Now Bar.

Recently, the internal One UI 8 build has been leaked for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. Now, the Alpha build has become available for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which sheds light on some of the changes in the works by developers.

Earlier this year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra with One UI 7. The flagship will get Android 16 as its first major upgrade this year. The company will upgrade Galaxy devices to the new OS as part of One UI 8.

What’s new in One UI 8

One UI 8 upgrades the Wallpaper section by bringing new dynamic colors. The new wallpapers feature elegantly designed gradient shades, which will change automatically over time, as part of offering a unique yet fresh feel all the way.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra with One UI 8 has the revamped Quick Share, and Samsung Gallery & My Files with a fresh pop-up menu appearance. The build also seems to be ending the need for the Galaxy Wearable app for Galaxy Buds pairing.

Now Bar and Live Notifications features in One UI 8 are buggy at the present stage. Samsung will indeed fix this aspect and bring more improvements. You can expect more apps and services to be supported by the Now Bar feature.

At this point, One UI 8 seems like a Feature Drop update for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The same version expands S25 Ultra’s remaining features to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, but there’s nothing new for the latest flagship.

As of now, One UI 8 seems like a boring upgrade, but Samsung won’t let it end up with such a tag. It’s not a build officially “released” by Samsung, hence, the Public Beta update will have the changes and new features that Galaxy users deserve.

Samsung’s One UI 8 is rumored to be debuting with the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 around July this year. We expect a public beta program from July to August for flagship devices such as the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 series.

Samsung’s Android 15-based One UI 7 update introduces a powerful Security Status feature. Powered by the Knox Matrix dashboard, this tool helps you monitor the security of all your connected Samsung devices.

The Knox Matrix dashboard is a new feature in One UI 7. It allows you to check the security status of devices linked to your Samsung account, with compatible devices including smartphones, tablets, TVs, and even home appliances.

Knox Matrix uses a secure private blockchain called Trust Chain. It lets your Samsung devices monitor each other for threats. Each device checks the security status of others to ensure real-time protection across your Galaxy ecosystem.

If any of the connected devices is at risk, the Knox Matrix dashboard alerts you. A green status means all is well, while a warning prompts actionable steps to fix issues. This transparency helps you address threats quickly, keeping your data safe.

With more devices connected, security is crucial. Knox Matrix ensures your smartphone, tablet, or smart fridge stays protected. By monitoring all devices signed into your Samsung account, it reduce vulnerabilities in your smart home setup.

How to access Security Status

One UI 7 adds the Security Status feature within the Security and Privacy menu. Beneath the Additional security settings section, you will find a newly added menu entitled “Security status of your devices,” opening which shows connected devices.

One UI 7 Update

The Knox Matrix dashboard in One UI 7 makes security straightforward. By letting your devices watch out for each other, Samsung ensures your data stays protected.

The One UI 7 update is rolling out gradually to the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung scheduled a broad expansion for flagship devices in May 2025, followed by non-flagships in June 2025.
