It's not just Samsung that is delaying Android 15 release

Introduction

One UI's first release was in 2018, and in 2024, Samsung will introduce the seventh major One UI upgrade. One UI 7.0 will accompany the Android 15 update for eligible Galaxy smartphones and tablets and will make its way to users in the second half of the year, as is customary for big One UI releases.

One UI 7.0 features

Every new One UI version adds features and improvements that are separate from those included in the core Android operating system. One UI 7.0 will be no different.

Leaks and rumors have revealed some of the features and improvements coming with One UI 7.0. Samsung appears to be making notable changes to the user interface, something it hasn't done for a few years.

According to one leak, One UI 7.0 will bring the following:

  • New system application icons
  • New background interface
  • A new control area at the bottom of the lock screen
  • Adjustment of shortcut icons (size?) in the left and right corners of the lock screen
  • Pull-down shortcut bar and notification can be independent/merged
  • The pill-shaped UI element in the upper left corner notification bar can display more apps
  • Added interruptible animation and optimized app opening and closing animation curve
  • New battery icon and charging animation bar
  • New camera user interface
  • Added support for 5G SMS messages
  • New notification pop-up animations and closing animations
  • Added unlock animation
  • New button touch and page return animation
  • Added many new desktop widgets of various sizes
  • Added more lock screen widgets
  • Added large folders

Samsung is putting a huge focus on Galaxy AI in 2024. One UI 7 is unlikely to bring any notable new AI features, though, as Samsung already introduced a few with One UI 6.1.1.

Furthermore, with Samsung's policy of providing seven years of OS upgrades to select smartphones, it's possible One UI 7.0 will be less densely packed with new features compared to previous versions.

One UI 7.0 compatible devices

Dozens of Galaxy smartphones will be eligible for the One UI 7.0 (Android 15) update. Almost every device that launched running Android 13 is guaranteed to get it. So are flagship and select mid-range devices that launched in or after 2021 and are eligible for four generations of OS upgrades.

Samsung will eventually reveal an official list of compatible devices, but you can check out an unofficial list based on previous One UI releases here.

One UI 7.0 release

One UI 7.0 will come to Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the second half of 2024. A more specific timeline will be revealed as we get closer to its release. Samsung will likely offer users the chance to test One UI 7 ahead of its official rollout through a beta program that could go live sometime in August.

The official rollout could start sometime in October or November. For some devices, the update may not arrive until 2025.
