Samsung is gearing up to roll out its much-anticipated One UI 7.0 Beta program next week, bringing a fresh wave of changes to Galaxy devices.
Ice Universe on X, a known source for Samsung news, had previously stated that the One UI 7.0 Beta program was half a month away. However, they have updated their prediction by saying that the beta will be launched after 17th November, initially in South Korea and the United States, with plans to expand to other regions like China, Germany, India, Poland, and the UK in subsequent phases.
While Google and OnePlus have released their own stable versions of Android 15, Samsung users are eager for the arrival of Samsung’s One UI 7.0, which promises to deliver substantial visual and functional improvements. You’ll notice a complete UI design revamp, featuring new stock app icons and a reimagined Quick Panel that separates notifications and quick setting toggles. The update also introduces a new charging animation, an updated battery icon, and bigger notifications with rounded edges.
One of the standout features you’ll experience is the redesigned volume and brightness controls. These new sliders sport a modern pill-shaped layout with more recognizable icons, making them more accessible through the Quick Settings panel. The design changes aim to enhance both aesthetics and functionality for Galaxy users.
Samsung plans to showcase more details about One UI 7.0 at the upcoming Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2024 in Seoul on November 21. The company expects to release the stable version alongside the Galaxy S25 series launch in early 2025, ensuring you get a polished and feature-rich experience.
The beta program marks an important step in Samsung’s software development cycle, allowing you to test and provide feedback on new features before the final release. While the initial rollout focuses on flagship devices, Samsung will gradually expand the beta testing to more eligible phones and tablets in its ecosystem.
