Samsung will host the Developer Conference 2024 in California tomorrow. Every year, the company has unveiled new One UI iterations at SDC. Things are not the same this year whether Samsung will unveil One UI 7 at SDC24 is uncertain.
The company tech giant announced to “celebrate a decade of open innovation and collaboration with developers, partners, and customers with a focus on how to make the most of today’s AI innovation.”
Samsung has scheduled a keynote speech for Sally Hyesoon Jeong, EVP, Head of Framework R&D, Mobile eXperience Business. For starters, Sally is the head of the One UI design department who takes the opportunity to debut new One UI versions.

The South Korean tech giant will highlight the latest cross-platform innovation opportunities including ways to leverage SmartThings, Galaxy AI, Knox, and Tizen for next-generation solutions for developers.
Galaxy AI is set to take center stage at tomorrow’s Developer Conference. Samsung hasn’t mentioned One UI anywhere in its SDC24 press releases so far. It also raises concern what are Samsung’s plans for this year’s One UI upgrade.
We assume that Samsung has some fruitful announcements about One UI 7 for SDC24. Galaxy S24 users are eagerly waiting for the Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program. However, there’s no sign of the testing activity so far.
Notably, CheckFirm hasn’t spotted any Beta firmware on Samsung’s server. Hence, there’s no certainty whether the company will begin One UI 7 Beta. It makes this year’s SDC important for general Galaxy consumers apart from developers.
It was recently revealed that the Pixel devices will get Android 15 in mid-October. Google is preparing to roll out the Stable update to general consumers. The company has also shifted its Beta trial to QPR of Android 15.
We have been hearing about the EV-like battery’s arrival on mobile devices. It was reported that Samsung could first bring the new battery tech in wearables. Indeed, Samsung’s all-solid-state batteries will boost future Galaxy devices.
Developments indicate at imminent launch of all-solid-state and pure silicon batteries. The new all-solid-state batteries will debut with Samsung’s future mobile devices. The mass production is expected to commence by 2026.
You may have heard about Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ achievement of successfully developing ultra-small all-solid-state batteries. These batteries replace flammable liquid electrolytes with solid ones, enhancing safety and reducing many risks.
Apart from Samsung, a North American firm is also said to be working on pure silicon batteries. This technology only uses silicon for the anode as part of promising significantly increased battery life and reduced charging times.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has a lead…
The Korean tech giant recently announced the successful development of oxide-based ultra-small all-solid-state batteries. Samsung has also supplied prototypes to key customers for evaluation before commercializing into consumer products.
Notably, Samsung is the world’s first firm that has achieved the milestone of developing ultra-small all-solid-state batteries. As mass production is expected in 2026, we assume the Galaxy Watch 9 series could boast new all-solid-state batteries.
All-solid-state batteries are cells, which replace liquid electrolytes with non-flammable solids. Samsung is pushing for applications in wearable devices that closely adhere to the body, such as smartwatches and earbuds.
Samsung has pushed the October 2024 security update for its Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 devices. The update is initially available for these devices’ users in Europe and the US, with plans to expand to other regions soon.
The new update enhances system security and stability by addressing various issues to improve overall device performance. The latest security patch includes critical updates from both Google and Samsung.
Notably, Google’s patch resolves 2 critical vulnerabilities and 28 high-level issues, although one of these issues was previously addressed, and two do not apply to Galaxy devices.
On the other side, 12 Samsung vulnerabilities have been fixed which are related to system services and Knox to ensure a more secure user experience. Additionally, Samsung Semiconductor has also added a fix to boost performance.
October 2024 security update brings new One UI build versions for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. You can check them below:
Europe
- Galaxy Z Flip 6 – F741BXXS1AXI3
- Galaxy Z Fold 6 – F956BXXS1AXI3

Both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 come pre-installed with Android 14 based on One UI 6.1.1. These foldable devices are set to receive the next major One UI update, expected to be available to developers by year’s end.
A community moderator revealed that a One UI 7 Beta program will soon be accessible to regular Galaxy users. However, details regarding eligible devices and schedules are yet to be confirmed.
Samsung has officially released the One UI 6 Watch Beta 7 update for its Galaxy Watch 6 series, which enhances user experience and device performance. Users can identify the latest update through the firmware version ending in ZXJ2.
One UI 6 Watch Beta 7 update brings enhancements based on user feedback to improve various aspects of the watch’s functionality. The fresh update arrives with improved system stability and optimized performance to ensure a smoother and more reliable experience.
Moreover, Samsung is addressing battery-related issues that caused it to drain quickly with this update. The application execution performance has been enhanced for quicker and more efficient access to apps.
Furthermore, the update fixes network interoperability issues for better connectivity and communication. Alongside these major updates, other minor improvements make your watch even better.
Samsung advises users to back up important data before proceeding with the installation. If you have received the update on your smartphone, download and install it now to enjoy new and enhanced features.
