Samsung is reportedly expanding its One UI 7 Beta Program to include the Galaxy A55, following its initial rollout for the Galaxy S24 series. A recent leak by tipster Tarun Vats on X reveals that the beta version of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 for the Galaxy A55 has been spotted on Samsung’s server. It suggests that the model soon get access to One UI 7 beta, which is great news for its users.
Beta firmware spotted on the company’s test server
The leaked firmware, with the build number A556EXXU6ZYB6, is for the international version of the Galaxy A55, which suggests that the beta program could be available in multiple countries. Additionally, Samsung has created a dedicated page on its forum for the One UI Beta Program for the Galaxy A55, further fueling speculation about the beta’s release.
While the forum page does not explicitly mention One UI 7.0, it is highly likely that One UI 7 beta (for Galaxy A56) is based on Android 15. The Galaxy A55 launched with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.
Samsung’s rollout of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 has already been delayed by nearly two months compared to previous years. The company claims that the delay is due to major improvements being incorporated into the new software. However, this delay could have a ripple effect, potentially causing Samsung to skip One UI 7.1 and One UI 7.1.1 to ensure the timely release of Android 16-based One UI 8.0.
And for those who are using the phone as a daily driver and are not willing to install a beta software, a stable rollout for this model isn’t coming any time soon. According to a previous report, the One UI 7 beta build for the S23 lineup has also been spotted on test servers, and it won’t receive the stable update before April. So Galaxy A55 users should expect the stable rollout sometime in April, if not in May.
And for those looking for a smartphone upgrade and interested in the Galaxy A series, check out the newly launched Galaxy A56. It’s based on Android 15, and you get One UI 7 out of the box.
