Samsung’s significant delay in rolling out the One UI 7.0 update has made it more disappointing than exciting. The brand started the One UI 7.0 beta program in early December for the Galaxy S24 series. It’s been over two months, yet Samsung is still busy fixing bugs. Not even a single Galaxy device has been updated to the stable version of One UI 7.0. This massive delay has reportedly led to the cancellation of One UI 7.1.

Sammobile, citing anonymous sources, reports that the delay in the stable release of One UI 7.0 has forced Samsung to consider skipping One UI 7.1. Previous leaks suggested that Samsung might debut One UI 7.1 alongside its next-gen foldable devices, namely the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now, it seems these Galaxy foldables would run One UI 7.0.1 out of the box. The software version suggests fewer changes from One UI 7.0.

Samsung might start rolling out the stable One UI 7.0 update to eligible Galaxy devices with the launch of Galaxy S25 Edge. According to recent leaks, this slim phone will hit the market sometime in April. So, if the leaks are correct, Galaxy S24 and other users will have to wait at least two more months to get the stable One UI 7.0 update. The wait will be even longer for Galaxy A-series, Galaxy M-series, and Galaxy F-series users.

Skipping One UI 7.1 will be good for the brand

Even if Samsung manages to kick off the stable One UI 7.0 rollout in April, the complete rollout may take the first half of 2025. By then, Google would have already released the Android 16. If Samsung decides to go for One UI 7.1, this would cause a significant delay to the One UI 8.0 rollout, which would be based on Android 16.

A fairly large number of Samsung users are already disappointed with the delayed One UI 7.0 rollout, and Samsung wouldn’t want to disappoint them again, which might also damage the business. Hence, it makes sense to skip One UI 7.1 and directly focus on One UI 8.

Last month, some instances of One UI 8 were found in Samsung apps, suggesting the brand is getting its apps ready for a future One UI release. This could possibly mean the brand is already working on One UI 8.

The post Delayed One UI 7 update rollout may have led to One UI 7.1 cancellation appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is preparing to introduce the Galaxy S25 series. One UI 7.1 version was previously detected on the Samsung OTA server. After releasing One UI 6.1.1, we see that the brand continues to work at full speed for One UI 7.1. Samsung is actively testing new One UI 7.1 builds for the Galaxy S25 series.

The Galaxy S25 series comes with One UI 7.1

While the brand is currently preparing to release the One UI 7 beta, they are continuing to develop One UI 7.1. We have already announced this exclusively last month. Now, we see that new One UI 7.1 builds are being prepared for the Galaxy S25 series. These tests are important for Samsung to announce the Galaxy S25 series without any problems. Every new update is being prepared to fix bugs in the previous version. The new One UI 7.1 tests prepared for the US version of the Galaxy S25 series are clearly visible on the OTA server.

• S931USQU0AXI2/S931UOYN0AXI2/S931USQU0AXI2
• S936USQU0AXI2/S936UOYN0AXI2/S936USQU0AXI2
• S938USQU0AXI2/S938UOYN0AXI2/S938USQU0AXI2

Here are the new One UI 7.1 builds of the Galaxy S25 series! These builds were prepared in September and uploaded today by Samsung on the OTA server. The new smartphones are expected to come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC worldwide. If this claim is true, there may be a price increase in devices. But the price increase is not very important. Snapdragon SoCs are faster, more efficient, and optimized compared to Exynos chips. For this reason, users want to use Samsung devices with Snapdragon SoC despite the price increase. We want the Galaxy S25 series to come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This will allow Samsung to achieve high sales rates and increase revenue.

The post Samsung continues to test One UI 7.1 update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1, which packs a couple of new AI features. A report already claims that Samsung is going to Expand some of the Galaxy AI features to its A series with the One UI 6.1.1 update. So there’s a lot of work for Samsung to do in the near future. As a consequence of that, It was also reported that Samsung has delayed the One UI 7 beta due to being too busy working on One UI 6.1.1. The company was supposed to roll out the beta version of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 last week.

While Samsung is busy rolling out Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 to existing models, leaks and rumors about Android 15-based One UI 7.1 have already started coming in. The latest one comes from famous tipster Ice Universe, who claims that the One UI 7.1 will be one of the selling points of the Galaxy S25 series and will come with major improvements. He also notes that the One UI 7 will focus on improving the animations (including elegant animation) and the fluency of the UI.

To recall, the Galaxy S24 series was launched with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14, which brought new and improved Galaxy AI features. It won’t be surprising to see the S25 series coming out with Android 15-based One UI 7.1 which offers an improved UI experience with new features. Notably, every new version of One UI has brought improvements in various aspects compared to the previous version.

Unfortunately, the tipster couldn’t reveal more about the expected changes in One UI 7.1. Speaking of the Galaxy S25 series, some of the battery, charging, and camera details of the Galaxy S25 Ultra have already been revealed by Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, which you can check out here.
