Published

on

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Samsung One UI 7.0 brings a new design language with improved UI elements for increased visibility and a sense of interactions that starts from the home screen and expands through the system.

Design is not the only upgrade in this new release, but also the personalization, and One UI 7.0 gives you new tools to do this better than ever. From app icons, to colors, themes and changing the home screen, you will learn all the new personalization that this new update has to offer.

Apps and widget size

One UI 7.0 brings new apps and widget settings that allow you to change icon sizes and enable or disable app and widget labels. The setting has a slider and switches to enable/disable these features. You can play around and find out, which option fits your home screen preference.

Wallpaper and color palette

You can change the wallpaper to give your phone a fresh look. Samsung has retouched the wallpaper selection, and you can add different effects to your wallpaper, such as blur, to add a layer of depth on the home screen.

Similar to the previous One UI versions, the color palette will let you change app icon themes and align them to the wallpaper.

Large Folders

This is one of the most underrated One UI 7.0 features, which helps you to clean the home screen efficiently. The Large folder is a bigger version of app folders on the home screen but with two user-friendly traits. First, the size provides you improved visibility for in-folder apps.

Second, you can tap and open any app from a large folder, unlike small folders. Using large folders is easy, you need to tap and hold on the folder and select Enlarge to expand the folder size.

New Widgets

Choose the left screen

If you are not fond of the left screen, then turn it off from the home screen settings.

Edge panel location

The edge panel is a great toolkit to launch favorite apps, but you can organize its handle position on the left and right side. All you need to do is tap and hold and drag and drop on either side – top to bottom.

Or you can turn off the side panel, and remove if you are worried about the accidental touches, but it’s better to relocate this to another position rather than a complete turn-off.

No, One UI 7 isn’t confirmed for April 25 – Samsung fixes India roadmap

One UI 7

Samsung has shared an updated roadmap for its One UI 7 update in India. The company has revised the update roadmap on the Members app, which has replaced the mention of “25” with “2025” to end the confusion.

Recently, Samsung dropped the One UI 7 roadmap for India. The rollout plan has mentioned devices under four months: April 25, May 25, June 25, and July 25, where the mention of “25” led users to mistake it as a date, but it’s for the year.

Apart from the fix, the remaining release timeframe for devices is unchanged. The latest flagships get updates in April, while older flagship phones and tablets will be upgraded next month. June will be the update month for non-premium devices.

Samsung initially faced challenges with the One UI 7 rollout. A bug affecting device unlocking paused the update in Korea, Europe and the US; however, it has been resumed, and expansion will happen sequentially.

The rollout begins in April 2025 with Samsung’s latest flagships. The Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, Z Flip 6, and Z Fold 6 will receive the update first, ensuring top-tier devices get priority.

In May 2025, Samsung will update older flagships and tablets. This includes the Galaxy S23 series, S22 series, S21 series, Z Flip5, Z Fold5, Z Flip4, Z Fold4, and Tab S10, S9, S8 series.

June 2025 will bring One UI 7 to mid-range devices like the Galaxy A16, A35, A55, A34, A54, and others. Tablets such as the Tab S9 FE and XCover7 are also included.

Samsung Smart Switch 3.57.59.1 update

Samsung has recently resumed the One UI 7 rollout for its flagship Galaxy S24 series, along with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. Now, users of slightly older models, including the Galaxy S23, S22, and S21 series, are eagerly awaiting their turn to receive the highly anticipated One UI 7 update.

As of April 2025, the One UI 7 stable update has been successfully deployed to the Galaxy S24 series. According to the official roadmap, Samsung is preparing to release the update for the Galaxy S23 series later this month. While the initial rollout will likely begin for beta users in selected countries, a broader global rollout is expected to start in early May 2025.

Moreover, Samsung is also reportedly planning to begin rolling out One UI 7 to the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 series around the same time in early May 2025. It will gradually roll out to all models.

Since Samsung recently paused and then resumed the One UI 7 rollout for the Galaxy S24, it is expected that the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, and Galaxy S21 series will receive the update globally without any delays or interruptions.

One UI 7 brings a fresh interface, better performance, improved security, and more customization options. It also includes new AI features to make your phone easier and more fun to use.

Samsung September 2024 update plan

After a brief pause, Samsung starts rolling out the new One UI 7 update to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold SE. The initial release was initiated on April 7 in South Korea, and it expanded to Europe and the US on April 10.

Meanwhile, Samsung had to temporarily suspend the expansion due to a serious bug found on some Galaxy S24 models. The company has investigated the issue and addressed it two days prior to resuming the distribution.

The Galaxy S24 series has recently received the One UI 7 BYD9 update, which is now also heading to the Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold SE in South Korea. As it’s a phased rollout, it will be expanded to even more markets sequentially.

Samsung has an advisory for One UI 7 eligible device owners

Published

One UI 7 Beta

Over the past two months, Samsung has been facing a lot of criticism for its semi-partial transparency over One UI 7 and the rollout delay, but now, it is publishing a new advisory for all eligible device users.

One UI 7 comes with new features and system improvements, which makes the software more interactive than its predecessor. Despite these improvements, device owners have to wait longer than expected for a rollout.

The update was released on April 7th, which was soon followed by an intentional halt due to unknown software issues. Samsung was aware of the rollout pause and acknowledged this mistake in public, while announcing that One UI 7 OTA release will resume soon.

Yesterday, Samsung released the first-ever One UI 7 roadmap for India, beside rollout dates, it consists of the following advisory for eligible device owners.

  • Update schedule and eligible models could be changed if we encounter any issues through ongoing review
  • The update may also be halted for a while even after the official update when an emergency fix is occurred.
  • We will notify through Samsung Members if there are any schedule or model list changes.

Samsung One UI 7 eligible device advisory

It seems Samsung has learned from the recent backlash, and it is reflecting on these lines of text. Still, look at the halt part, where the phone maker has clarified that the update could be paused in case of any bug that might appear after official OTA release for a device.

So, if you witness another pause, Samsung won’t be responsible for anything because it has already told us what could go wrong, and you must have to wait for the software to get fixed.

For now, the Korean tech company has resolved the rollout issue and resumed One UI 7 upgrade for S24 series, Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. It will continue to expand from this day forward.

BREAKING: Samsung resumes One UI 7 rollout, Galaxy S24 gets new BYD9 update

Published

on

By

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Samsung starts rolling out a new One UI 7 update to the Galaxy S24 series. Initially available in South Korea, the new One UI 7 BYD9 build should soon go live in more markets. It’s a more refined build over the initial one and contains fixes for the lock screen bug.

This new build marks the resumption of the suspended rollout. As a Galaxy user, I am disappointed, though Samsung deserves praise given a quicker investigation and resolution to the serious glitch encountered by many.

The changelog mentions “stability improvements” for the Galaxy S24 series. It’s a Stable Hotfix update that is currently making its way to devices that have been upgraded to the initial One UI 7 Stable update after April 7 in Korea.

It was reported that the initial One UI 7 update had some serious issues with the unlock functionality that led the company to suspend the expansion. As the One UI 7 rollout has resumed with BYD9 build, users can now expect a swift expansion globally.

To recall, Stable One UI 7 builds disappeared from the firmware server over the last two days. Exynos models were initially affected in South Korea, but the entire rollout has been halted for the Galaxy S24 series, Z Flip 6, and Z Fold 6.

Your Galaxy device may have also received the new build. Notification will arrive late, but you can manually check for the updates within Settings > Software update. Hit Download and install so your phone can fetch a new OTA.
