Samsung One UI 7: Everything we know about Samsung’s Android 15 update
Samsung will roll out Android 15 to Galaxy devices in 2025, and we had a sneak peek of One UI 7.0 at SDC24. Google is already working on the next Android version, which is confirmed to be made available on Pixel phones by June next year.
Meanwhile, Samsung is still working on the Android 15-based One UI 7.0. The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get it on the Beta channel. Dozens of Galaxy devices are eligible for this major upgrade, forming a big rollout later this year.
Android 15
The new OS entered Developer Preview in February and Public Beta in April. Google released the final version of Android 15 on October 15 for Pixel devices. The Android 15’s QPR Beta activity has also started ahead of the Android 16 Developer Preview.
One UI 7
At SDC24, Samsung teased some One UI 7 changes and features. The Beta Program will start in late 2024, while Stable set to be released next year. The S23 series received One UI 6 Beta in August last year, but this year’s schedule has entirely changed.
The new update focuses on improving device performance and power efficiency. It’s also well-optimized for the artificial intelligence era. Consumers can expect faster app loading, longer battery backup, enhanced security and privacy, and core improvements at the OS level.
One UI 7.0
Samsung held this year’s Developer Conference on October 3. The event’s stage was utilized to introduce new One UI 7 features and enhancements. The company has also showcased advancements in Tizen and SmartThings. Design principles:
- Simple: Aiming for purposeful simplicity across the UI.
- Impactful: Creating a new signature impression for One UI.
- Emotive: Creating UI elements, like a new blur engine, that elicit a positive emotional response from users.
One UI Beta build can be installed on your primary handset, but we prefer avoiding it. Beta isn’t for you if you don’t want to counter bugs and functional errors. Consider waiting till the Stable rollout commences enjoying One UI 6.1.1.
[Most recent development] The first One UI 7 Beta firmware with a build version ending with ZXKB has been spotted on Samsung’s server.

Source: Samsung One UI 7.0 to bring insane battery life gains!
One UI 7.0 is set to elevate your Samsung phone’s battery performance. The company has made significant improvements in Galaxy’s power management. The S24 Ultra lasts even longer than the most premium iPhone in certain conditions. The upcoming One UI version is said to bring some extraordinary improvements to your Galaxy’s battery life.
Credible Samsung leaker SamsonSir confirmed insane battery life improvements in One UI 7.0. It shows the company is not only working on interface revamp, but also intends to foster the battery performance of your Galaxy.
Galaxy S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra set battery life benchmarks in the Android world. All thanks to Snapdragon chips and well-optimized One UI software. The upcoming One UI 7.0 update is expected to bring notable improvements.
Background process management
Flagship Galaxy smartphone users often use multiple apps at the same time. Samsung’s RAM management allows them to start right from where they left off using the app. It leads to many apps remaining open in the Recents section.
The One UI 7.0 reportedly optimized the background process. It’s a key aspect which greatly impacts on the battery’s performance. If unnecessary background processes are hibernated, the battery life will increase significantly.
Galaxy AI could play a key role in understanding which app’s process should be limited. This way, the software will use less power from the Galaxy’s battery. However, the Beta builds might not show major battery life improvements.
One UI 7 Release Date
Samsung will release the One UI 7 update next year. Beta is coming by the end of the year, but the final version is set to be launched alongside the Galaxy S25 series. As of now, we haven’t heard any genuine input regarding the S25 series launch date.
