Looks like Samsung’s not quite ready to roll out One UI 7 just yet. Instead, the Galaxy S24 series just got its second January 2025 update in South Korea—but it’s still based on One UI 6.1. While it’s always nice to see security and performance improvements, this update suggests the stable One UI 7 might need a little more time in the oven.
What’s in this new update?
The latest update is expected to be rolled out to other regions soon. The firmware (ending with AXL3) isn’t massive though. The package is only 377MB in size, and mainly focuses on security. It also includes the January 2025 security patch.
The company has already revealed everything that’s included in its January 2025 update. It packs over 50 fixes, covering critical vulnerabilities identified by Google and Samsung. The company also tackled some tricky issues with components like the Bootloader, Notification Manager, and Messages app. So, while it’s not the shiny new One UI 7 update, it’s still important to keep your device up-to-date.
Where’s One UI 7?
Samsung’s been running its Beta Program since December 2024, with three Beta updates out so far. Beta 4 is rumored to be on the way, but this latest update suggests the stable version isn’t quite polished enough for public rollout.
But don’t worry—the wait might not be much longer. Samsung’s big event on January 22 is just days away, and they’re expected to announce more about the One UI 7 rollout, including which Galaxy devices will get it first.

When it does land, One UI 7 is expected to bring some exciting changes and improvements, so it’s worth waiting for. In the meantime, this second January update hints that Samsung taking its time to carefully iron out the final kinks in the new software.
So yeah, it’s a bit of a bummer that the stable release isn’t here yet. But for many, a more stable experience is more important than a mix of some new features, some bugs, and a relatively unstable experience overall. Here’s everything you need to know about One UI 7.0.
