Samsung’s new Android 15-based One UI 7 is almost ready for testing, with the first beta is likely to launch by the third week of November. According to a leak, this beta is expected to open in South Korea and the US starting "next week, after November 17."

Users in other regions may have to wait until later this year when Samsung plans to expand the beta version of its Android OS skin. One UI 7 marks a big change for Samsung, as the company has taken longer than usual to release this update.

Samsung One UI 7 Beta updates

While other brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Nothing have already launched Android 15-based updates, Samsung is still perfecting its version.

This delay could be worth it, as early leaks hint at impressive new features, such as improved one-hand use, smoother animations, and Samsung Galaxy AI enhancements.

For instance, Galaxy AI could summarise unread notifications, helping users stay updated without reviewing each individually.

Samsung One UI 7 Beta availability

Samsung’s beta programme would start with the Galaxy S24 series, with a stable release of One UI 7 expected in early 2025 alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. Older Samsung flagship devices would also get the update after the Galaxy S24 series.

One UI 7 is designed to bring a sleek, iPhone-like experience to Samsung users. The new Quick Settings panel shows a refined layout and features like volume and brightness sliders are easier to adjust. If you’re a Galaxy user, the wait may finally be over soon.
