Right now, there’s a lot of buzz about Samsung’s One UI 7, but it’s turned into a problem. The internet is full of guesses and rumors about when the most-awaited software update will come out. This has led to misinformation spreading quickly, which is really hurting Samsung’s reputation in ways that are tough to measure.

The real problem isn’t that One UI 7 is delayed—it’s how wrong information is spreading. People with no real authority or connection to Samsung are posting on social media and forums, claiming they know when One UI 7 will come out. These rumors aren’t true, but they trick Samsung users into expecting the update too soon.

When the (rumored) promised dates pass and nothing happens, fans get upset fast. They don’t realize Samsung never made those promises, so they blame the company anyway. This has left a lot of users disappointed and annoyed, thinking Samsung let them down when the company didn’t even set those false promises.

Adding fuel to the fire, the Galaxy smartphone owners are now comparing Samsung’s software update rollout with the competitors. Apple and Google have released iOS 18 and Android 15 quickly, making Samsung’s approach look too slow. This makes people not only impatient but also question if Samsung cares about updating their phones on time.

The fix for all this misinformation and the damage to Samsung’s name is simple but not used enough: Samsung needs to tell everyone when One UI 7 is coming out. Staying silent has only increased the rumors from unofficial sources. By providing clear and official communication, Samsung can stop these rumors, set real hopes, and end the guessing.

It’s more than just sharing a release date; it’s about showing that the company cares for its users by controlling its rollout plans, not the rumor or some attention seekers. Being clear would not just calm things down but also make people trust Samsung’s software update process again.

The wild spread of baseless rumors about when One UI 7 will come out has hurt Samsung’s good name more than any real delay would. The only fix is for Samsung to act first.

By sharing an official timeline, Samsung can control the news, save its reputation, and show it cares about being clear and trusted. If the company doesn’t share the official timeline, Samsung’s image will keep getting worse because of rumors they could stop.

The newest addition to Samsung’s Galaxy lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, is the reason for excitement among the tech community. It is expected to offer an impressive combination of style and performance. Here’s a comprehensive look at what we know so far, combining officially confirmed details with the latest rumors.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to feature a sleek, ultra-thin design, setting it apart from its S25 series siblings. Leaks suggest it might measure around 5.84mm in thickness, making it one of the slimmest flagships out there. It’s expected to sport a 6.7 to 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals.

Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the same chipset found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This will ensure top-notch performance, with 12GB of RAM supporting multitasking and heavy applications. Despite its thin design, there’s talk of adding vapor chamber cooling to manage heat during intense use.

You will be happy to know the camera is great, even though the phone is very slim. The device is rumored to come with a dual-camera setup at the back, featuring a 200MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. It might not have the zoom lens like the S25 Ultra.

Battery life is always a concern with slim devices, and the S25 Edge is expected to feature a 3,900mAh battery. The device is rumored to support 25W wired charging.

The S25 Edge will likely run on Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7. Like the S25 trio, the device will support up to 7 years of software support.

Pricing for the S25 Edge is rumored to be around $1099, setting it between the Galaxy S25+ and the S25 Ultra in terms of cost. As for the release, rumors suggest a launch sometime in Q2 2025, although no official dates have been confirmed yet.

Comparison with Galaxy S25 Ultra

• Design: The S25 Edge is very slim but might not have as big a battery.
• Camera: The Edge has good cameras but doesn’t have as many types of lenses as the Ultra.
• Performance: Both phones use the same chip, but the Edge might not cool as well because it’s thin.
• Price: The Edge should cost less than the Ultra, giving you top features for a bit less money.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might change how we see flagship devices with its very thin look and great features. If the rumors are right, it will be a good pick for people who care about how a phone looks and how well it works. But we need to wait for Samsung to say what’s true.

Comparing the software update experience between Samsung’s Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S25 series highlights a significant shift thanks to the introduction of Seamless Updates in the latest Galaxy S25 series smartphones.

Samsung has started releasing the first firmware update for the Galaxy S25 series. The installation experience is indeed improved thanks to Seamless Updates, which offers a less intrusive and more convenient update experience.

The new solution, which debuted in the Galaxy S25 series, also minimizes disruption to daily use compared to the traditional method. It also includes an additional safety net that will save your device from software failures during installation.

Here’s how they differ:

Galaxy S24 Series (Without Seamless Updates)

Note: Galaxy S24 series and devices launched earlier retain the traditional updates feature.

Galaxy S25 Series (With Seamless Updates)

Note: Samsung introduced Seamless Updates with Galaxy S25 series, which would expand even further with future launches.

How’s Your Experience?

Seamless Updates has many benefits over the traditional installation method. However, individual preferences must be sought to find out whether Galaxy users really like it or not.

So this was a theoretical comparison of the Traditional and Seamless update methods. Do you think it’s a game-changer or has the installation become a headache?

With new updates and rumors, Samsung’s One UI has been in the spotlight this week. If you own a Galaxy device, there’s plenty to know: the Galaxy S25 series is getting a new One UI 7 update, the Galaxy S24 will receive a fourth One UI 7 beta, details about the One UI 8 release are out, and there’s a lot of talk about when older devices will get these updates. Let’s dive into the details.

Samsung Galaxy S25’s One UI 7 Update: What’s New?

The Galaxy S25 series, launched in January 2025, came pre-installed with One UI 7 based on Android 15. This week, Samsung rolled out its first update for the S25 lineup. It doesn’t bring anything special but this update brings some welcome tweaks.

It includes the February 2025 security patch, while the recently launched Galaxy S-series device was previously running the December 2024 patch.

Samsung One UI 7 Beta 4 Confirmed for Galaxy S24:

While S25 owners enjoy their updates, Galaxy S24 users are still waiting for the stable One UI 7 release. This week, Samsung surprised everyone by confirming a 4th beta update for the S24 series. As per confirmation from the Samsung Moderator, the update is coming next month.

Some Galaxy S24 users are frustrated because Samsung recently updated these devices with the February security patch, suggesting no big update is coming soon. The wait continues, and it seems Samsung is taking extra care to perfect things before the official release.

Rumors:

This week brought some surprising rumors that sparked big discussions on social media. The rumors are:

One UI 8:

Ice Universe, a reliable tipster, recently shared that Samsung’s One UI 8, based on Android 16, might arrive sooner than expected, possibly in Q3 2025. Despite delays with One UI 7, which is still in beta testing for the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung seems to be fast-tracking One UI 8 development, based on ongoing rumors.

This aligns with Google’s plan to release Android 16 in Q2 2025, potentially allowing Samsung to shorten the usual update timeline.

Delayed One UI 7 Rollout for Galaxy S24 and Beyond:

A new rumor suggests the stable One UI 7 update for the S24 series might not arrive until late April or even May 2025. In addition, Samsung could release up to six betas, with Beta 5 in March and Beta 6 in April, pushing the stable release further out.

Another rumor suggests Samsung may skip One UI 7.1 due to significant delays in rolling out One UI 7.0, which is still in beta for the Galaxy S24 series and not expected to stabilize until April or May 2025, possibly alongside the Galaxy S25 Edge launch. This delay has reportedly led Samsung to abandon One UI 7.1 and 7.1.1, opting instead for One UI 7.0.1 for upcoming foldables like the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7.

Samsung Galaxy S25 series comes with One UI 7 including new side button options to improve the quick app launch experience.

For a long time, the phone maker kept the side button exclusive to the power menu and forced shutdown. However, deeper feature integration has enabled the company to make these physical buttons more useful.

The button can open apps with actions such as double press and press and hold actions. To provide even wider access, One UI 7 enables S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra users to assign the app’s key features.

These changes are made for double press and long press actions.

The double press will let you launch the camera app in photo mode (as usual) but you can now assign to record video, take a portrait, or capture a selfie. The three new additions bring efficiency in accessing the key camera features any time anywhere.

Note – You will have to switch modes manually to select others in the list.

Here is a list of app features that you can launch directly with a double press:

Voice Recorder

1. Open Voice Recorder
2. Start recording

Samsung Notes

1. Open Samsung Notes
2. Paint with brush
3. Record voice note
4. Type note
5. Write with pen

Samsung Capture

1. AI select
2. Screen Recorder
3. Screenshots

Modes and Routines

One UI 7 side button double press action

This is a major upgrade from the previous experience with only a single app launch.

That’s not it, the Galaxy S25 series has a special addition to the long press. The default long press action launches Google Assistant dubbed Gemini and you can switch that to Bixby or power off menu.

These new side button additions are quite useful, give them a try on your Samsung Galaxy S25 device.
