- Samsung One UI 7 beta program could start at the end of July or early August, says tipster.
- One UI 7 is expected to introduce major updates inspired by other popular platforms.
- Samsung may reveal the stable version of One UI 7 during its SDC event in October.
For years, Samsung’s One UI has been among the very best customizations of Android, blending feature and visual enhancements intended to enhance the experience. With One UI 7, it seems that Samsung really could outdo itself. Here is what we know regarding this upcoming update so far.
Beta Program Timeline
According to reliable sources, the beta program for Samsung’s One UI 7 is coming at the end of July or early August, if not delayed. This was shared by renowned leaker Ice Universe, who has a strong history of accuracy on any information related to software updates from Samsung.
On the other hand, another tipster, Tarun Vats, speculates that the beta testing program may start in September in the US, Korea, and Germany. Based on this claim by Vats, Ice Universe’s factual accuracy gives more weight to the earlier timeline.
What to expect from One UI 7?
Various new leaks suggest developments derived from other popular platforms. Some key features are as follows:
- Separate Panels for Quick Settings and Notifications: Drawing inspiration from Apple iOS and Xiaomi HyperOS, this change aims to streamline user interactions by separating quick settings from notifications, offering a more organized and intuitive interface.
- Quick Action on the Lock Screen: This feature allows users to perform specific actions directly from the lock screen, enhancing convenience and accessibility.
- Native App Locking Functionality: A much-requested feature, app locking will now be integrated into the system, providing enhanced security and privacy.
Stable Release and Samsung Developer Conference (SDC)
Samsung is anticipated to conduct an SDC event in October, and the stable release of One UI 7 might get aligned with this event. Last year, Samsung showcased One UI 6 during the SDC event before it was soon released as a stable version that same month. Presumably, One UI 7 is to follow suit by getting its stable release around this period.
Eventually, with the upcoming beta release, all fans, and users can get their hands on these latest features and help fine-tune them further before the final release. The ending has kept fans in suspense that Samsung will continue to work towards a better software experience through One UI 7.
