It’s been a long wait (arguably too long), but for owners of last year’s flagship Samsung Galaxy smartphones, the company’s latest big platform update, the Android 15-based One UI 7, is finally becoming available. After months and months of beta testing, Samsung got the ball rolling on One UI 7 updates one week ago, starting distribution of its new software for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and the Galaxy S24 series. While international markets got first dibs, only a few days later we saw Samsung flip the switch on One UI 7 updates in the US.
That means that some of you have now had at least a full weekend to play with One UI 7 on your Galaxy phone, and start to familiarize yourself with many of Samsung’s changes. Beyond the boatload of Android 15 features you phone now has, Samsung’s done a ton of work implementing its own tweaks and upgrades, and we’ve spent the past several months checking out many of them both in One UI 7 betas and on the Galaxy S25 family.
