The clock is ticking…. and ticking. We’ve been waiting for Samsung to finally release the One UI 7 beta, but it’s been taking so long. In any other year, Galaxy users would have been gearing up for the stable build at this point. However, according to a new leak, it looks like Samsung is getting ready to release the One UI 7 beta to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 phones.
What’s the big idea of postponing the One UI 7 update for so long? Well, Samsung has been hard at work revamping the software for One UI 7. We’re not just talking about a few UI tweaks and features; the company is making some substantial changes to the visuals. Over the past couple of months, we’ve been seeing leaks of what this skin would potentially look like.
Some reports point to Samsung adopting the iOS-style notification center. Rather than showing the Quick Settings and notifications together in one panel, there would be one panel for notifications and another one for the Quick Settings. This is similar to what we see with HiOS/XOS (from Tecno and Infinix, respectively) and HyperOS.
Also, we exclusively leaked a rundown of everything new coming to One UI 7. It looks like Samsung has some major changes coming down the pipeline.
The One UI 7 beta could be coming to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24
This leak comes from notable leaker Tarun Vats. Be that as it may, you’ll still want to take this news with a grain of salt. On X.com, he posted two screenshots showing the One UI 7 beta program forum pages for both the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24.
This confirms that Samsung is getting this beta ready. We don’t know when the beta is going to land, but seeing the forum pages set up gives us hope that we’re in for a surprise soon. If Samsung pushes the wait past January, then the Galaxy S25 phones might launch with One UI 6.1.1 out of the box.
