While Google and Vivo have already released their Android 15 updates, Samsung Galaxy users can expect One UI 7 to arrive next year. However, a One UI 7 beta program is likely to launch sooner, giving users a first look at Samsung’s newest features by mid-November.

According to Ice Universe, a well-known industry leaker, Samsung’s first One UI 7 beta could arrive within two weeks. The update, reportedly ending in “XJW,” promises a range of enhancements and iPhone-inspired features.

What to Expect from One UI 7 on Samsung Galaxy Devices

iPhone-Inspired Design Changes

Leaks suggest One UI 7 may include iOS-like elements, including a dynamic island-style lock screen, a Control Center reminiscent of iOS, and smoother animations. These features are expected to refine the Samsung user experience, making it more fluid and visually appealing.

Galaxy AI and Notification Summary

In an exciting new feature inspired by Apple’s Notification Summary, Samsung’s “AI notification” will condense notifications when the screen is crowded, available initially in Korean but likely expanding to other languages soon. However, it won’t roll out on mid-range Galaxy A-series devices.

One UI 7 Beta Timeline

The delayed beta launch marks a shift from Samsung’s usual timeline, but with significant updates like Galaxy AI and iPhone-inspired design improvements, the wait may be worth it. Galaxy S25 series users can look forward to the stable version next year, with the beta program giving Galaxy owners a preview of these major updates before 2024 ends.
