Samsung is gearing up to launch the public beta testing of its One UI 7 update in December, with the Galaxy S24 series leading the rollout. According to a tweet by tipster @FamilyTaes, the testing phase will last about two months, allowing users to explore new features and visual upgrades before the stable release, expected in February 2025.
Details of the One UI 7 testing phase
The roadmap revealed by @FamilyTaes outlines a phased rollout for Samsung’s One UI 7 beta:
- Week 1 of December: Galaxy S24 series users will get first access to the public beta. Regional availability may vary.
- Weeks 2–3 of December: Galaxy S23 users will join the program.
- Two-Month Testing Phase: Samsung will collect user feedback and refine the system during this period before the stable release with the Galaxy S25 series towards the end of January.
While Galaxy S24 and S23 users have priority access, it remains uncertain whether older models like the Galaxy S22 series will participate. However, the Galaxy S21 series is confirmed to be excluded from this testing phase. Additionally, recent foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 are anticipated to be eligible for the public beta.
What to expect?
Samsung’s One UI 7 update is shaping up to be a major overhaul with several new features and improvements. One highlight is the introduction of the “NowBar,” along with smoother animations that enhance the user experience.
According to @TheGalox_, over 50 Samsung devices, including smartphones and tablets, will eventually receive the update. These devices range from high-end foldables (the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and later) to affordable models like the Galaxy A23 and later. Recent Galaxy tablets are also expected to be a part of the list.
