Will One UI 7.1 launch or be skipped after Samsung’s One UI 7 confirmation with Galaxy S25?
Samsung will debut the final version of One UI 7 with the Galaxy S25 series next year. The upcoming software will be available for testing on the Beta channel in 2024. Will One UI 7.1 launch or be canceled as Samsung confirms One UI 7 with Galaxy S25?
Final One UI 7.0 is confirmed to be unveiled with the Galaxy S25 series. There are several reasons why Samsung might launch the One UI 7.1, as well as some factors that suggest it could be canceled or delayed for older Galaxies.
Is Samsung streamlining One UI?
As Apple is continuously upping its iOS deployment game, Samsung could focus more on delivering feature-packed major releases. Therefore, the One UI 7.1 is also suspected to be canceled, which isn’t impossible for Samsung.
We still assume the Galaxy S25 series will ship with the new One UI 7.1 software. It could be based on Android 15, the same as the One UI 7.0. The company might keep it exclusive to new Galaxy flagships for about two months.
It’s also possible that One UI 7.0 will debut brand-new designs and experiences. The mid-cycle One UI 7.1 version will introduce more new Galaxy AI features, which Samsung could expand to select older models sequentially.
One UI x.1
Samsung has a history of bringing mid-cycle One UI versions since the beginning. Starting with the One UI 1.1, the South Korean tech giant debuted mid-cycle versions up to One UI 6.1. There’s another Fold/Flip-focused 6.1.1 version as well.
Previously, Samsung used to debut mid-year version as an incremental update. The initial x.1 version brought minor changes and stability improvements. However, the company has completely revamped its One UI software strategy.
Anyways, Galaxy users deserve the best features out there in the industry. Samsung is committed to continuously upscale the Galaxy experience. Whether One UI 7.1 arrives or not, new features and enhancements will arrive on One UI.
What do you think? Will One UI 7.1 arrive, or is Samsung gearing up for a new approach to software updates? Time will tell, but one thing is certain—Samsung is set to make a big impact with its Galaxy S25 series and One UI 7 in 2025.
Galaxy S25 Series
The Galaxy S25 series could be announced in January next year. The company has significantly revamped its design strategy. Signature design language will live on, but other appearance-related changes are most likely.
In particular, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, won’t have a boxy design. Samsung has reportedly rounded the frame corners, making the next Ultra look more like the vanilla Note 20. The screen will be flat as the S24 Ultra and the camera design could be replicated.
