The company is considering bold moves to retain market dominance. Next year’s Galaxy S25 series would bring a significant push to Samsung. The refined design and upgraded hardware would lead to many more switches from Apple’s ship.

Rumor: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra doesn’t run One UI 7.1 internally
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra reportedly runs One UI 7.0 rather than One UI 7.1 internally. The company is currently working on the development of One UI 7. A new rumor suggests that we could see another strategy shift next year.
The Korean tech giant has a history of unveiling new Galaxy S phones with One UI x.1 iteration. As the software segment witnessed many big revamps, the existence of the x.1 build of One UI 7 is in question.
Tipster chunvn8888 claims that the Galaxy S25 series runs One UI 7.0 internally. The next-gen Samsung Galaxy flagships should come pre-installed with One UI 7.1. However, the devices are being tested on the Android 15-based One UI 7 version.
Samsung said it’s working to expand Galaxy AI with the next flagship release. The AI feature suite will optimize for consumers and their everyday usage. The enhanced Galaxy AI will debut with the S25 series in early next year.
2️⃣5️⃣ series runs 1UI 7️⃣.0️⃣ internally

Samsung said One UI 7 will launch with the new Galaxy S series next year. This announcement was made during the Developer Conference in early October. It sparked controversy on whether the One UI 7.1 is being dismantled.
As the development is still underway, the software could be upgraded to the newer version. Only Samsung can reveal if there is any strategic change in the software strategy, tentatively around the first quarter of the next year.
It could be possible that Samsung could replicate Google’s software strategy. The One UI 7.0 will debut with the Galaxy S25 series and roll out to older models. Samsung will expand new features with Feature Drop updates alongside security patches.
