- Samsung could delay stable One UI 7 updates until the release of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is expected to launch in April or May.
- Further, these One UI 7 delays could impact the release of One UI 7.1, which was expected to be released alongside Samsung’s next-generation foldables.
Samsung used to be infamous for delivering super-delayed Android platform updates to its Galaxy smartphones. The OEM managed to completely turn this narrative around over the past few years, going from being the slowest to becoming the fastest and most consistent in delivering updates. However, with One UI 7, Samsung has dropped the ball, as the stable One UI 7 update is still nowhere to be found for its existing device lineup. If the newest leak is to be believed, we’ll be waiting for a very long time.
According to a report by Sammobile citing unnamed sources, Samsung will likely release the stable One UI 7 update to existing/older Galaxy smartphones only when the Galaxy S25 Edge launches. Separate rumors have suggested an April-May timeline for the release of the Galaxy S25 Edge, so all Samsung smartphone owners (other than those with the Galaxy S25) may have to wait until then to experience One UI 7 in its stable avatar. Stable One UI 7 is only available on the new Galaxy S25 series.
