Why Samsung has delayed the One UI 7.0 beta program?
Samsung aims to ensure that the One UI 7.0 update is as stable as possible before starting the One UI 7.0 beta program. This focus on stability might be in response to previous updates where users experienced issues like battery drain, animation lag, and overheating. By carefully testing the alpha build internally, Samsung intends to minimize bugs in the beta version, providing a smoother experience for participants.
According to serious discussions on social media and within Samsung’s official community, the One UI 7.0 is expected to introduce significant design changes, new functionalities like a revamped camera UI, support for satellite connectivity, and enhancements to the user interface, including a possible split notification panel. These require additional time for development and integration.

One UI 7’s Thermal Throttling key will unleash max gaming power
One UI 7 could come with a hidden key to disable Thermal Throttling. Samsung is working on its Android 15-based One UI software. A tipster revealed One UI 7’s hidden feature that will allow users to maximize gaming potential.
According to the info, One UI 7 carries a Developer options key that lets you completely disable Thermal Throttling. Before the recent removal, it was accessible on One UI 6 through a manual System UI Tuner trick.
Samsung is blamed for aggressively throttling performance in certain circumstances. Previously, the company rolled out an alternate performance management option in the Game Launcher/Game Booster app to bypass throttling.
The Labs trick somewhat reduces Thermal Throttling, but not a solution. Looking ahead, the One UI 7 would address the Thermal Throttling concern so Galaxy users can experience maximum power during long gaming sessions.
The key will let you completely disable Thermal Throttling. It is a better solution than the performance management option of Labs, which increases the thermal heating limit to lessen throttling during extensive usage.
Thermal Throttling could be disabled
Developer options usually contain a set of settings not preferred for general users. It is mainly for developers to test application behavior during development. However, the wise use of Developer options unleashes maximum power from hardware.
The feature is intended to be developed for flagship phones. The upcoming Galaxy S25 series would also have the key to disable Thermal Throttling. The modification will allow users to continue gaming with the maximum performance allowed by the hardware.

[Leak] Samsung greatly modified One UI 7 Beta, release awaited
One UI 7 Beta continued to be modified in development as Samsung sets “later this year” release. While Galaxy users await the Beta Program to kick off, the company is making radical changes to the user interface and other aspects of the software.
IceUniverse claims that Samsung One UI 7 Beta has modified much with the version ending XJW. It is the latest version that has many changes in terms of UI and appearance. The leaker notes that the new build makes the previously leaked videos meaningless.
Samsung has reportedly brought significant improvements to the One UI 7 Beta. The upcoming software is “full of flexibility,” setting the stage for a grand entry to set a new standard of user experience on Galaxy devices.
While the tipster didn’t note specific changes, notable improvements are likely in animations and motion fluidity. The appearance may have not been revamped much as Samsung already altered that segment in many ways, many times.

The latest version of One UI 7, XJW, makes the previously leaked videos meaningless, because this version has changed a lot and is full of flexibility, and the previous versions can be thrown into the trash.
Earlier, a YouTuber revealed the One UI 7 interface and features. The video showed many major changes across the user interface as compared to the build that Samsung showcased at CodeLabs after the SDC24 keynote.
Later, we’ve also seen the animation fluidity of One UI 7 in a leaked video. As compared to the One UI 6.1.1, the next iteration has smoother animations, however, the final version is likely to bring it even closer to iOS animations.

One UI 7 Beta (Android 15) release date tipped with another delay
Galaxy users eagerly await One UI 7 Beta but Samsung could take 15 more days for release. As we approach the “end of the year” deadline for Beta, the company is said to be taking another half of a month to start the Beta Program.
According to IceUniverse, Samsung will take “another half month” before One UI 7 Beta release. November has started today and we expect the Beta Program to be kicked off this month for Galaxy smartphone users.
Samsung officially revealed One UI 7 software during SDC24 in early October. We’ve witnessed some graphical visuals, showcasing the UI revamp. Meanwhile, Samsung has further revamped those UI changes within the internal Beta.

Last heard, Samsung wants to roll out a stable-quality build as the first Beta. It will ensure Galaxy users experience the One UI 7 with new features and user interface. However, the continuous delay is quite frustrating for eager Samsung fans.
One UI 7 will bring Android 15 to Samsung smartphones. In a recent development, the Korean tech giant published One UI Beta forums in the US community. It suggests the Beta activity is progressing towards a majestic launch.
Official One UI 7 Release
While Beta is about to start, you may miss out on getting the update. The reason is, the official version of Samsung’s Android 15 will launch next year. And the rollout for Galaxy devices would start only after the Galaxy S25 series unveiling.
Many Galaxy phones and tablets will receive the major firmware update next year. It includes flagship devices launched in 2021 and later. You can check a detailed list of eligible One UI 7 devices here to check your device’s compatibility.
