Key Takeaways
- The One UI 7.0 beta from Samsung, which is based on Android 15, might be released next week.
- According to rumors, the beta will include visual improvements, including updated Quick Settings and new icons.
- It is anticipated that the newest flagship devices, such as the Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S23/S24, would receive it first.
As early as next week, the eagerly anticipated One UI 7.0 beta, which is based on Android 15, may begin to roll out.
Samsung has firmly maintained its One UI twist on the most recent version of the operating system, while Google and OnePlus have already released their stable Android 15 releases. Actually, back in July, the company was supposed to release the first beta. However, November has arrived, and there is still no word.
However, that might soon change. The renowned leaker Ice Universe has changed their prediction, indicating that the test flight could begin in the US and South Korea “next week,” after earlier claiming the beta was “another half month” distant.
What can we anticipate from this updated version of the One UI? According to earlier rumors, Samsung is focusing more on AI in addition to other visual improvements. The beta is said to include a redesigned Quick Settings panel, new home screen icons, and an active panel that sounds a lot like Apple’s Dynamic Island on the iPhone, except it’s located at the bottom of the screen.
However, the upgrade might include other iOS-inspired changes as well. Additionally, labels under widgets—something iOS has had for a very long time—are anticipated to be included.
The more significant queries are which devices will receive the beta first and whether it will be made immediately accessible to the general public or initially restricted to developers. Although it hasn’t been confirmed, Samsung’s most recent Z Fold and Z Flip phones may follow the Galaxy S23 and S24 ranges as early adopters.
We might learn more official information on November 21st, when Samsung is scheduled to hold its annual developer conference in Korea.
