One UI 7 beta rollout timeline
Samsung began the One UI 7 beta program a little later than usual in the first week of December 2024. The Galaxy S24 was obviously the first to get an early taste of the software, but it didn’t expand to any other Galaxy device until this week.
On March 5, Samsung finally announced the expansion of the One UI 7 beta program to more Galaxy devices and revealed some important details about the release timeline. Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 would get the beta update in the same week (it is already rolling out). It also revealed that the remaining devices, including the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Tab S10 series, and Galaxy A55, will get the beta update in March 2025.
So, here’s the confirmed beta release timeline:
- Galaxy S23 series: March 2025
- Galaxy Tab S10 series: March 2025
- Galaxy A55: March 2025
It’s important to note that the One UI 7 beta program is only available in select countries, which include India, Korea, the UK, and the US.

How to apply for the One UI 7 beta program?
Step 1: Check your eligibility
Samsung offers the beta program only to a few Galaxy devices. Therefore, to participate in the beta program, you must have a device that’s actually eligible for it (see the complete list of eligible devices above).
The second eligibility criteria is your current region, as the One UI 7 beta program is only available in select countries, including India, Korea, the UK, and the US.
Step 2: Enroll for the beta program
Now, you have to register your Galaxy device to participate in the One UI 7 beta program. To do this, you must check if Samsung has opened the beta program for your Galaxy device.
Open the Samsung Members app on your Galaxy device and look for the One UI Beta Program banner. It usually appears at the top. If you don’t see the banner, it means Samsung hasn’t opened the beta program for your Galaxy device (or it’s yet to reach your country). You should check again later. Once you see the One UI Beta Program banner, tap on it and click the Enroll button.
Now, fill in the required details. After this, you can install the beta update on your device.
Step 3: Install the beta update
To install the One UI 7 beta update, open Settings and go to Software update. Tap on Download and install to check for new updates. Now, download the update package.
Before you hit the Install now button, ensure that the battery is above 40% to avoid potential update failure. Also, take a complete backup beforehand to avoid any data loss.
