Report: Samsung further refining the new One UI 7 interface
Samsung is working on further refining the new One UI 7 interface. We just got confirmation about the availability of the Beta Program. Now, a new report says Samsung is still working on refinements of the new One UI 7 interface.
Galaxy users are eagerly waiting for the Beta Program to begin. Samsung already confirmed the One UI 7 Beta will launch by the end of this year. The final version, however, is pushed to early next year’s Unpacked event.
ETNews, in its latest report, highlighted that Samsung is still refining the new software. The Beta Program is unexpected to last longer. With Beta coming later this year, the final version of Samsung’s Android 15 is set to launch early next year.
“Samsung is currently conducting internal tests to improve the stability and completeness of the new One UI 7 interface,” ETNews sources say.
At the SDC24, Samsung’s Sally teased some One UI 7 changes and advancements. The upcoming software promises a fresh new design and revamped components across the user interface for a completely refreshed feel.
Samsung is, therefore, working to seed the first Beta without any bugs and issues. A delayed rollout is better than sticking to software that ruins the entire UX. New design changes require additional testing to ensure overall stability and reliability.
Apple is expected to fully deploy Apple Intelligence by early next year. The company will start rolling out new AI features to iPhone models starting this month. Apple has partnered with OpenAI to fuel iPhones with AI capabilities.
Galaxy AI already has a wide range of mindblowing features. Meanwhile, Apple always comes with new challenges for Galaxy models. This year, Samsung is seemingly already prepared to challenge the iPhone’s AI in all the ways.

Your Samsung Galaxy could get Gemini AI button on lock screen!
Google is putting much effort into Gemini Assistant. The company has already replaced Google Assistant with Gemini. Now, Google apparently working to slap a Gemini AI button right on your Samsung Galaxy phone’s lock screen.
AndroidAuthority discovered Google’s experiment to bring the Gemini AI button to Samsung Galaxy’s lock screen. It’s going to be an Android feature, which Samsung won’t miss out on bringing to Galaxy smartphones.
Android lets you trigger Gemini in many ways. You can swipe up from the home screen’s bottom, press and hold the home button, or hold the power key. A dedicated AI button on the lock screen would make things a lot easier for consumers.
The QPR1 Beta 2 of Android 15 has a flag, which could unlock the AI button on the lock screen. Mishaal managed to enable the button on the Pixel smartphone, placed right below the fingerprint sensing area on the lock screen.
Although the button appeared on the lock screen, it doesn’t function at all. It’s a pill-shaped toggle, which is slightly larger than the two lock screen shortcuts. The button also has the AI sparkle icon in the middle, which looks classy.
Android 15 is about to begin rolling out on Pixel smartphones. Google is also running the QPR Beta Program on various Pixel models. The Gemini AI button could be a part of the company’s preparations for the Android 16 operating system.
