Samsung’s One UI 7 beta with Android 15 officially coming by ‘end of this year’

At its annual Samsung Developer Conference, it’s been confirmed that the long-awaited One UI 7 beta update, based on Android 15, is coming “before the end of this year” with no firm release date yet available.

The supposed release date for Samsung’s Android 15 update has been in flux for months. At one point, it was thought that the One UI 7 beta would arrive much earlier than usual, but that ended up quickly passing as Samsung reportedly dealt with internal delays. Recently, Samsung was said to have delayed the update “indefinitely.”

Today at SDC, Samsung has confirmed that its One UI 7 beta with Android 15 will be “available to developers before the end of this year.”

One UI has always been designed to bring users the most personalized, creative and productive experiences possible on mobile devices. Samsung previewed a sneak peek of One UI 7 at SDC24, highlighting its new UX focused on simple, impactful and emotive design alongside more ways to seamlessly integrate Galaxy AI features into daily activities. One UI 7 beta will be available to developers before the end of this year.

The updated timeline isn’t a huge surprise, but it also leaves the door open to Samsung’s beta releasing as late as December 2024, which would be far behind the company’s usual schedule. Last year, One UI 6’s beta program was announced in August, well ahead of SDC.

As for the full release, Samsung said during its keynote that the update won’t arrive until the launch of Galaxy S25 early next year.

One UI 7 is expected to be a major update, with notable changes to design and features throughout the system.
