Samsung has begun releasing the One UI 7 update, which is based on Android 15, for Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Tab S10 series users in the United States. This update follows a period of delays and is now reaching more devices through various carriers and regions.

One UI 7 brings a range of changes to the user experience. The update features a redesigned Quick Panel that separates notifications from quick settings, making it easier to access and manage both. The app drawer now scrolls vertically by default, similar to what you find on Google Pixel phones. Users can switch back to the previous horizontal layout if they prefer.

Samsung has also added more customization options for app icons and introduced larger folders on the home screen. The multitasking interface has been updated with new blur effects, and the system now includes the "Now Bar" and Live Notifications, which work in a way similar to Live Activities on iPhones. These changes aim to make navigation and multitasking smoother and more visually appealing.

AI features are a significant part of this update. Tools like AI Select, Writing and Drawing Assist, and improvements related to Google Gemini are included. These additions help users perform tasks more efficiently and offer smarter suggestions throughout the system.

If you have a Galaxy S23 or Tab S10 device, you can check for the update by going to Settings, selecting Software Update, and tapping Download and Install. The rollout is ongoing, so if you do not see the update yet, it should become available soon.

Samsung plans to continue rolling out One UI 7 to more devices in the coming weeks, with the process expected to last through June and July. Users can look forward to a refreshed interface and enhanced features as part of this major software release.
