Patience, Beta Testers! Samsung dismisses the idea of skipping One UI 7 (Android 15) for Android 16 (One UI 8)

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung has excessively delayed the One UI 7 Beta and Stable updates. The current status is: Beta is still running without a potential closure timeline and Stable is exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series and a pair of $110 Samsung phones.

Mocking the delay, Galaxy users, in a cryptic way, encouraged Samsung to take a few more months, skip the One UI 7, and bring Android 16-based One UI 8 directly. Samsung responded to the demands and you should know what they think.

Samsung has dismissed the idea of skipping the One UI 7 due to Beta delays through a US community moderator. The staff member repeated that the team is focussing on One UI 7 to offer a polished and stable version with the final release.

“We hear you! While jumping straight to Android 16 would be an interesting move, the focus right now is on ensuring One UI 7.0 (Android 15) is as polished and stable as possible before the final release.”

“That said, we always appreciate enthusiasm for future updates, and when the time comes for Android 16, we’re sure the community will have plenty of feedback to help shape the experience!”

One UI 7 Status

One UI 7 Beta is limited to the Galaxy S24 series in seven countries. It leaves a large portion of users stuck on the One UI 6.1 version. Notably, it’s the One UI version that Samsung shipped with the Galaxy S24 series early last year.

Google pledged to bring Android updates early, starting this year. The Android 16’s Public Beta testing has reached the second build this month. The Platform Stability milestone is scheduled for March and the unveiling is likely in May this year.

Pixel smartphone users may start getting the Stable Android 16 update around the end of May or early June. Meanwhile, there’s no sign of a Stable One UI 7 update based on Android 15 for Samsung flagships released before the S25 series.

Galaxy S25 Edge renders revealed design and specs before its anticipated launch

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

A new set of Galaxy S25 Edge renders have appeared online and revealed information about the upcoming device, including its design as well as specs.

Winfuture has shared a bunch of material about Galaxy S25 Edge starting with the launch date, which could happen next month, but an exact date is not shared.

The phone will equip a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with 2400 x 1000 pixels resolution. The display is flat on all side, rounded corners, and a hole punch to feature a selfie camera. The front appearance is identical to the Galaxy S25 and S25+.

The S25 Edge will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The other three models from the lineup also have this chipset, enhancing the processing capability over Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It means that the phone will also support all of the latest Galaxy AI features.

Unlike its S25 siblings, the Edge model will offer two rear cameras, including a 200MP main sensor. The secondary will a 12MP camera, probably for ultra-wide angle photography. It was previously rumored to bring ALoP camera, a next-generation telescope lens, but this tech remains unconfirmed in the renders.

The S25 Edge is 5.8mm thick, which excludes the camera bump. However, achieving a thin form factory would require the company to sacrifice an important aspect – battery.

This minimized size wouldn’t allow Samsung to in-built a large capacity. Hence, the source suggests that the mAh size in S25 Edge will be, 3900mAh. This is fairly low compared to the S25 Plus with 4,900mAh.

Interestingly, the phone has three variants Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Icy Blue. These names indicate that the phone will be using a titanium design similar to the S25 Ultra.

With each popular model, Samsung has developed a tradition of offering online exclusive colors, and we can hope the same for the S25 Edge.

Galaxy S25 Edge vs S25 Ultra: Dummy reveals special design upgrades

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Edge Dummy

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will soon make its way to the global customers and a dummy version of the device has revealed a massive upgrade in a side by side comparison to the S25 Ultra.

A Korean YouTuber has published a video featuring S25 Edge dummy, actually two dummies of the unreleased device, and explained some upgrades over the high-specs Samsung flagship.

Starting with looks, the YouTuber had two dummies, one in white and the other in all-black color. The rear side is plain as standard S25 model, with a more clear look at the vertical camera integration.

The phone has two lenses and their outlook is similar in size. The camera bump is only visible for design purpose, consisting of an LED flash.

The overall appearance is quite identical to the standard S25 and S25+. Notably, the black version has all colored appearance including a black frame, which blends into the rear.

The dummy was measured in real-time with a digital scale, revealing a 5.84mm thickness, around 2.4mm thinner than the S25 Ultra (8.2mm).

In a head’s down, side by side comparison, the S25 Edge looks impressively slimmer than the S25 Ultra. That’s not it, there’s more to observe in this shot.

Look at the components, the decreased thickness cannot be achieved without components and Samsung affirmed this in the short teaser at Unpacked 2025.

The teaser showed redesigned spare parts for this flagship. The look at the bottom of the device reveals trimmed charging port, the Sim Tray, and reshuffled speaker location.

A rear shot suggests that the phone has a slight less width than the Ultra, but the difference doesn’t look much in the video.

Another thing to note is that the device is smaller than the S25 Ultra, which is due to the smaller screen size at around 6.5-6.7-inches. The Galaxy S25 Edge dummy looks quite compelling with its design cut over S25 Ultra.

Conclusion

The new design upgrade will improve the in-hand experience for Galaxy S25 Edge users but we’ll have to wait for an official release date.
