Samsung has no immediate plans to launch One UI 7 Beta: Source
There’s bad news if you’re eagerly waiting for One UI 7 Beta on your Samsung Galaxy. An insider reports that Samsung has no immediate plans to launch One UI 7 Beta. It suggests that Galaxy users will end up waiting for the new OS for another uncertainty.
UniverseIce revealed that Samsung has no plans to launch One UI 7 Beta soon. It means we could not see the Beta Program this week. The tipster hasn’t shared any tentative timeframe for Samsung’s Beta Program commencement.
Initially, One UI 7 Beta was rumored to launch on July 29. The company hasn’t made any official announcement, rendering the rumors fake. Later on, it was reported that the new software was full of bugs, which would be quite frustrating for a general audience.
That said, Samsung may have put a hold on the Beta release. A slight delay is always better than risking millions of consumers’ phones and data. However, we prefer you to stay away from the initial Beta build on your daily driver.

Samsung is rumored to bring a separate Quick Settings and Notification Panel experience. The home screen will also get some iOS-inspired customization tools. You could be able to remove apps and widget labels that have enlarged icons.
The company has also improved animations and transition effects. Nowadays, it has been observed that consumers only demand smoother animations rather than new and innovative functionalities on Galaxy devices.
Still, we expect the Galaxy AI segment will see a major boost. Galaxy users would receive new useful features equipped with on-device AI capabilities. Deeper integration with core services and apps could be a spotlight in the One UI 7.
One UI 7 retains the best Galaxy AI camera features debuted in One UI 6. Samsung has accidentally published the official One UI 7 website. The listing revealed key changes and new features of the upcoming software.
The One UI 7 carries innovative new camera features from Galaxy AI, such as Sketch to Image, Live Effect, and Portrait Studio. Samsung flagships that have received the One UI 6.1.1 update, now include the advanced Galaxy AI features.
Portrait Studio is the modern feature that makes every photo feel more personal and special. There’s Sketch to Image for enhancing photos with fun and cheerful visuals. Live Effect will make every photo more dynamic and lively.
