The Galaxy S24 community is abuzz! After soaking in the features of One UI 7 Beta 4, many anticipated a Beta 5 release. But a plot twist is emerging... could Samsung be poised to skip straight to the stable version in April 2025?
A trusted source has dropped a bombshell: Samsung might forego a One UI 7 Beta 5 release for the Galaxy S24 series. Instead, the next update could be the coveted stable release, landing as early as April 2025.
Skipping Beta 5 signals Samsung's confidence in the current build and laser focus on delivering a rock-solid user experience.
Samsung seems determined to ensure that the stable version is refined and delivers silky-smooth performance, building upon the hotfix already deployed in Beta 4. If Galaxy S24 users haven't reported major issues, Samsung may be emboldened to leap directly to the stable release!
Fear not, Galaxy enthusiasts! Samsung isn't putting the brakes on the One UI 7 Beta program entirely. The company is diligently working to expand the beta to a broader range of devices, including:
These devices are all slated to receive their own taste of One UI 7 Beta in March 2025.
Before you get too excited (or disappointed), remember to approach this information with caution. Samsung hasn't officially confirmed plans to skip Beta 5, so anything is subject to change. For now, S24 users can keep enjoying and testing One UI 7 Beta 4.
Just when you thought the story couldn't get any more intriguing... reports are surfacing that some Galaxy S24 Ultra users in the US have already received the stable One UI 7 update!
One Reddit user (since deleted) claimed to have received the update, sharing screenshots that revealed:
If confirmed, this would be an extremely unusual (and exciting) early release!
While this could be a mistake, a pre-production unit, or an internal demo, it adds fuel to the fire and suggests that Samsung is indeed close to a wider rollout.
The Galaxy A55 is poised to become the first Galaxy A series device to join the One UI 7 Beta program! Internal testing is progressing rapidly, with builds on the Checkfirm platform recently upgraded to A556EXXU6ZYC1 from ZYB6.
Samsung officially confirmed the Galaxy A55's inclusion in the One UI 7 Beta program for March 2025, so expect the update to arrive soon.
Galaxy S23 owners, prepare for liftoff! Samsung has officially confirmed that the S23 series will be joining the One UI 7 Beta party this month. This will be the second major upgrade for the S23, bringing a revamped user interface, smoother animations, and AI enhancements.
One UI 7, built on Android 15, promises a visual overhaul with:
Galaxy AI is also getting smarter, with enhanced writing tools and call transcription features. Plus, security is being bolstered with the Knox Matrix dashboard and cross-device notification syncing.
One early adopter has spent three months immersed in the One UI 7 beta on a Galaxy S24 Ultra. Here's the verdict:
The user was impressed by the fluid animations, improved responsiveness, and redesigned icons. The separation of the quick panel and notification panel was also lauded as a significant upgrade.
The user encountered and reported several bugs during the beta phase, including issues with the task changer, swipe-to-unlock, Now Bar display, and charging animation. Most of these issues were resolved in subsequent beta updates.
Impressively, the user didn't experience a single app crash during the entire three-month beta period.
The reviewer concludes that One UI 7 is a massive upgrade over One UI 6, praising its stability and overall user experience. However, they are eagerly awaiting the wide rollout of the stable version to all Galaxy S24 users.
One user has reported that the scrolling in the Samsung Gallery app feels laggy in One UI 7 Beta 4 on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. While not all users are experiencing this issue, it highlights the importance of continued refinement and bug fixes before the public release.
