Samsung One UI 7 based on Android 15 is only arriving next year | Infinium-tech

Google recently released Android 15 to the Android open source project and is expected to start rolling out the update for its Pixel smartphones on October 15. With that in mind, you might be wondering when Samsung’s One UI 7 based on Android 15 will arrive, especially considering the fact that the Korean company was the quickest to release previous major updates in recent years.

Now we know, and it’s not good news if you’re impatient. According to the keynote speech at Samsung’s ongoing developer conference, One UI 7 will only be released when the Galaxy S25 series is launching (likely in January). Presumably, the update for older devices should start rolling out soon after that. However, One UI 7 beta preview will arrive this year. Hear all the details yourself in the keynote speech video below. The One UI 7 talk starts at around 22 minutes, and the release information is at 24:30.

This is a very late timeframe compared to what Samsung has taught us in previous years, so you’ll need a lot of patience. On the other hand, the company promises that a complete redesign is coming with One UI 7, with a design language that focuses on being simple, impactful, and emotional, whatever that means in this context.

The only more concrete detail is the fact that the home screen grid will be redesigned in some way. If we read correctly between the lines, it may also be less customizable, as Good Lock was introduced as an option for those who want to proceed with customization.
