Samsung shares One UI 7 schedule, and it’s just such a big letdown

[phillynews215]

• One UI 7 will hit public beta at some point before the end of the year.
• The finally One UI 7 release isn’t due until the Galaxy S25 launches.
• This represents a big shift in Samsung’s timetable compared to past years.

Samsung’s Developer Conference 2024 is in full effect right now, kicking things off with the company’s keynote announcement. We had a lot of expectations going into today, and maybe the biggest has concerned news of One UI 7 — namely, what’s taking so long? The good news is that we now have some answer, even if they weren’t exactly what we were hoping to hear.

One UI 7 will be how Samsung brings Android 15 to its Galaxy family, and it feels like Android 15’s rollout has been slow all over. The new Pixels didn’t arrive with it, and while we’d normally expect to see Samsung busy with its own public beta program, so far nothing’s popped off. Today Samsung confirms that the One UI 7 beta is still coming, but doesn’t offer a firmer ETA beyond telling us it will happen sometime before the end of 2024.
