Key Points:
- One UI 7.0 beta was pushed back
- Arriving in August 2024
- New design, features, and performance improvements
Samsung’s highly anticipated One UI 7.0 beta update, based on Android 15, has hit a snag. Originally planned for release last week, it’s now been rescheduled for August 2024.
This delay is due to Samsung finishing up another update, One UI 6.1.1, which is headed to older foldable phones and some high-end models. Don’t worry, the wait will be worth it. One UI 7.0 is packed with exciting changes to the way your Samsung phone looks and works.
Expect the beta to land first on the Galaxy S24 series, with South Korea likely getting it first. Other countries like the US, UK, India, and Germany should follow closely behind. There’s a chance older top-tier phones like the Galaxy S23 series might also join the beta party, but Samsung hasn’t confirmed this yet.
So, what can you expect from One UI 7.0? Get ready for a fresh new look. The quick settings panel is getting a makeover with two tabs for quick actions and notifications. The lock screen is sporting a new design too, with a cleaner look and useful battery charging info.
Using your phone with one hand just got easier. The app drawer now has a search bar at the bottom, and the camera app has been redesigned to put controls where your thumb naturally rests. Samsung’s apps are also getting a style upgrade with new icons and smoother animations.
Overall, One UI 7.0 promises a smoother, more visually appealing experience. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the August release.
