April 7th – One UI 7 release date
Samsung has recently published a blog post on the official newsroom website saying that they’ve chosen Monday, April 7th, 2025 (date may be different in other markets, such as April 10th for USA and April 14th for Malaysia), as the final One UI 7 release date starting point. This aligns with an earlier blog post from the company that was talking about the Beta program expansion for S23 series, Z Fold/Flip6, and Tab S10 where it stated that the official rollout will start within April, with the New Zealand version of the newsroom stating that the April rollout will be for all markets.
According to Samsung, One UI 7 brings “AI-driven enhancements that make everyday interactions more meaningful and intuitive.” They state that they’re going to start the rollout of the update with the Galaxy S24 series and the Z Fold/Flip6 foldables, and will expand the update gradually to other eligible Galaxy phones and tablets within the coming days and weeks, including, but not limited to:
- Galaxy S24 FE
- Galaxy S23 FE
- Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 6
- Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 5
- Galaxy Tab S10
- Galaxy Tab S9
Availability of the update and its timing will vary depending on the market, so be patient until the update appears. Then, you can enjoy the below One UI 7 features.
One UI 7 introduces a brand new interface built for AI, helping users interact with their devices more naturally than before while following the simple, impactful, and emotive design that leads to cohesive design. It includes Now Bar, which gives you real-time updates that matter the most on the lock screen, such as the stopwatch, voice recording, or even music playing and workout status.
Galaxy AI has been expanded in One UI 7 to introduce more features, such as:
- AI Select: intuitively understands context and makes selection suggestions based on it. For example, while watching a video, AI Select suggests saving the video as GIF.
- Writing Assist: easily summarizes or automatically formats content in which text can be selected to help you write meaningful sentences. Available in 2024 and 2023 flagships.
- Drawing Assist: brings ideas to life with more than a single input, including combinations of text prompts and images or sketches. Available in 2024 and 2023 flagships.
- Audio Eraser: isolates categories of sounds and removes unwanted sounds, such as wind noise and music. Available in 2024 flagships.
- Deeper Gemini Integration: allows you to long-press your phone’s side button to let you give it voice prompts so that Gemini can pull information tailored to your needs.
- Natural Search in Settings: lets you use natural language to search for a specific settings for your device. For example, say “My eyes are feeling tired,” and it pulls recommendations about enabling eye shield and adjusting brightness. Available in 2024 and 2023 flagships.
Of course, there are far more features introduced in One UI 7, which will begin its rollout of the stable update in April 7th.
