Samsung’s best-selling Galaxy phone gets virtual One UI 7, while S24 users face delays

Galaxy A15 jumps to One UI 7 on Samsung’s Remote Test Lab. The smartphone follows the initial entry of Galaxy S24 FE on the platform. The development takes place when the S24 users face painful delays in the Stable rollout.
Rumors suggest Samsung is in no mood to drop start the Stable One UI 7 rollout anytime soon. New devices will continue to launch with the latest software but the optimization for older phones (flagships too) is still underway.
While the rollout is delayed, related developments continue to happen and surface. In the latest, Samsung has upgraded the Galaxy A15 to One UI 7 version on RTL. Using the remote test lab, you can virtually run One UI 7 on the device.
In 2024, Galaxy A15 was the world’s best-selling Android phone. Its 5G variant was also in the top 10 most-sold smartphones in the previous year. Meanwhile, many other Android phones have already started getting the Android 15 update.
While RTL is intended for app developers for testing purposes, general users can also utilize it. You need to visit the Samsung Developer website and access the RTL tab. Log in with your Samsung Account and choose the device and preferred duration.
As far as the rollout is concerned, Samsung hasn’t shared any plan yet. If the rumors are true, the One UI 7 may be released around late April. That said, mid-range and budget phones could be scheduled in the Q3 distribution plan.

Samsung sets a different One UI 7 release date for US Galaxy users, check when

Samsung Electronics America will rollout One UI 7 software update for US users on April 10, which differs from a date announced earlier for global Galaxy smartphone owners.
“The update will be available in the U.S. starting with the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 on April 10” wrote Samsung. The update will expand to other devices in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, the global push for this new One UI software will begin on April 7 for selected devices.

Samsung has been testing One UI 7 beta in the US for the past three months, providing early access to the newest features, such as the Now bar, which enables live notifications on the lock screen with an engaging user interface.
The notifications and quick settings are now separated for a different user experience and animations are improved over One UI 6. The home screen is added with redesigned icons and better widgets.
Personalization is also retouched with new options in clock settings, lock screen, home screen and more.
AI features including Drawing Assist and Audio Eraser will be available for flagship phones with generative capabilities to turn sketches to a drawing or remove distractions from a video respectively. However, the software has many new things to explore.
Until recently, One UI 7 was limited to the Galaxy S24 series and later expanded to Fold 6 and Flip 6 with beta program. Furthermore, the Galaxy S23 and Tab S10 series also joined this race to test this One UI version.
The separate rollout date for the US users should be justified due to the different carriers, which Samsung may be collaborating to release One UI 7 at once for all of its eligible devices.
You can check for the latest software update via Settings > Software update and follow the on screen instructions. Please follow our One UI 7 section to stay updated with the latest news on this matter.

One UI 7 lands a low-key Now Bar on Galaxy S23 unlike Galaxy S24

One UI 7 beta 1 is already shipped for the Galaxy S23 series and its Now Bar feature is lacking some features unlike the Galaxy S24 lineup.
Now Bar enables you to see live notifications from essential apps on the lock screen. This helps them to stay updated with the continuously updating information from apps such as timer, voice recorder, sports scores and more.
It is supported by live notifications, which appear on the home screen and the notifications panel. The outlook and features are shared between the two names except for their places to show up to the users.
This feature was unveiled with One UI 7 beta for Galaxy S24 users. My hands-on experience revealed that it has some new properties that are more intriguing than the text-based description.
For example, a Music now bar gives you music controls such as next, previous and pause/play on the bottom side of the lock screen. This small pill can also expand size as soon as you tap over. You can jump to the app as soon as you touch the larger widget.
The Now bar settings currently have four live notifications including media players, interpreter, maps and emergency sharing. The Galaxy S24 series has around 10 live notifications.
You may also notice that the media player is part of the live notifications list compared to a dedicated switch in the Galaxy S24.

One UI 7 Now Bar Feature in Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24
Despite limited on-screen features, Now Bar is fully functional with clock, recorder and other apps in the Galaxy S23 series. Since this is a beta software, we can expect further enhancements with a future software update.
Users can access Now Bar from the phone’s settings and search Now Bar. Once opened, you can tweak the available options.
Samsung has officially announced that stable One UI 7 will be available for the Galaxy s23 series in April or May.

One UI 7 has been the most awaited software update for Galaxy smartphone users and Samsung has announced something that should be considered as good news on the face of this massive delay.

So, it’s the first time in the past three months, that the company has committed something to the customers, and it’s ready to start new One UI version to users.
The upside of this software includes a major UI overhaul. We now have smoother animations all around, and you can also check new clock styles as well as the app experience thanks to redesigned icons.
Features like Now Bar are incorporated to provide real-time updates for live activities. On the other side, quick settings and notifications panel are now separate from each other.
One UI 7 equips Galaxy AI features such as Writing Assist, Drawing Assist and Audio Eraser. These will be available for top flagship phones starting with the Galaxy S24 series.
The first stable One UI 7 will be available for Galaxy S24 series, Fold 6 and Flip 6 devices on April 7. These phone users can download it right away via settings. With this rollout, beta users will be able to hope onto the stable software version with a minor OTA update.
In the next few weeks, Samsung will expand One UI 7 to the Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z flip 5. Galaxy Tab S10 series and Tab S9 series will tag along with these devices for a final rollout.
