With Google’s Android 15 release just around the corner, Samsung is gearing up for its own major update: One UI 7. According to reliable leaker Ice Universe, Samsung could start beta testing One UI 7 in just a few days, with the testing phase expected to kick off by the end of July or early August.
As reported by Android Police, once the beta testing for One UI 7 is complete, Samsung will announce the new features and roll out the firmware for its Galaxy S24 series smartphones in the U.S. and South Korea. Other regions should see the beta releases a few weeks later.
Ice Universe has also hinted that One UI 7 could be Samsung’s most significant update yet, though they haven’t provided specific details about the new features.
Fans are hoping that One UI 7 will bring visual enhancements and better performance. In 2023, One UI 6 introduced a redesigned Quick Panel layout, so users are eager to see what improvements One UI 7 will bring.
Meanwhile, Android 15 is nearing the end of its beta testing phase and will soon start rolling out to Android devices. This update promises several new features and improvements, including easier Bluetooth controls, partial screen sharing, a notification cooldown feature, improved PDF handling, more reliable NFC, and satellite connectivity.
Though Android 15 and One UI 7 are closely linked, they might not be released at the same time. One UI 7 is expected to officially launch a few days or weeks after Android 15 is available on supported Samsung devices.

- One UI 7 beta testing starts by end of July or early August.
- Official release follows Android 15 rollout.
