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 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.

One UI 7 Beta 5 automatically turns off battery protection after update

Samsung has recently revealed the fifth beta version of One UI 7 that fixed many bugs and improved several of the elements, including the battery charging animation on the status bar. However, people have been reporting that after the One UI 7 Beta 5 update gets installed to their phones, the battery protection would automatically turn off.

Luckily, people are able to turn the battery protection settings on. It’s just a case of a settings entry not preserving its value after the update, but it’s more like the battery protection has actually been turned off after the update.

This is taken from the Galaxy Tab S8, which is currently running One UI 6.1.1.

You can turn the battery protection back on by going to Settings > Battery > Battery protection, and turning the toggle on if it’s off after the update.

One UI 7 Beta 2 (foldables) changes the charging animation on the status bar

Samsung has recently released the second beta for the Z Fold/Flip 6 devices that are on the One UI 7 beta program, and users began spotting changes to the battery charging animation on the status bar. Posts on X, like the one posted by TheOneCid, started surfacing showing this change.

The battery pill now grows up to be wider, showing you the animated gradient of the battery with both the percentage and the lightning bold in the middle of the pill. It shows you that the phone is charging, then it shrinks back to its original size. This is one of the changes under the “Many other improvements” title.

To join the Beta program, open Samsung Members, find the One UI 7 banner similar to the one below, and click on the registration button.

Afterwards, follow the instructions on the screen. If everything is OK, go to Settings > Software update > Download and install. You’ll get the screen that looks similar to this:

Let it download, but it’s going to take a bit of time depending on your Internet connection. Afterwards, click on the Install button.

Remember: never interrupt the update process during the installation phase, and make sure that your phone is fully charged before proceeding. This is a precaution intended to avoid interruptions. For some markets, it’s advisable to put your device in a well-ventilated room to avoid green lines caused by heat in some AMOLED panels.

LockStar from Good Lock series now supports One UI 7

According to this post, Samsung has now released a new version of LockStar that is compatible with the seventh version of One UI. LockStar is a Good Lock module that allows more customization of your phone’s lock screen. The version of LockStar that is compatible with One UI 7 is 7.0.00.14.

The new version has the following changes:

  • App widgets on the LockScreen & AOD
  • Add your Favorite app
  • Integrated to the lockscreen editor
  • …and more.

This means that users who are already in the One UI 7 software are now able to try out the updated version of LockStar with major structural changes!

After the LockStar module gets updated, you can check for updates using the Galaxy Store app, which should show the updated version of your modules. It may take some time to be rolled out to all users, though.

ClockFace from Good Lock series now supports One UI 7

Here’s your first look of One UI 7 Beta on the Galaxy Tab S10!

Samsung has recently released the beta version of the upcoming version of One UI that was highly anticipated – called One UI 7, which first launched with the Galaxy S25 series and all devices released this year – for the 5G version of the Galaxy Tab S10 series. The beta version of One UI 7 contained many improvements and new features, including the new, bold design that is simple, natural, and intuitive.

One UI 7 Beta was recently released for the Galaxy Tab S10 series in Korea, where Korean users can get to test this version of One UI and send feedback before the stable release that will start in April for the latest devices. According to a recent Samsung Members post to the tablet forums, we now have the first look of One UI 7 Beta for tablets.

The app drawer for tablets has only seen one improvement. That is the search bar that has now moved to the bottom of the screen. Other than that, there is wasted space at the left and the right edges of the screen. The status bar didn’t get thicker on tablets, unlike the smartphones that got the thicker status bar.

Alongside that, the notification center and the Quick Panel screens still need some refinement, including the usage of the entire screen space to put both the notification center and the Quick Panel together in one screen to make better use of the screen. This results in a huge waste of screen space if the current implementation has been pushed to stable versions, and we hope that there will be improvements regarding this area.

Then, Good Lock’s UI has actually been updated to make use of the screen real estate fully, and this is actually good. LockStar and HomeUp are still not optimized for One UI 7 for tablets, so you can’t run those Good Lock modules.

The Settings application didn’t see any major design changes except that the icon placeholders have turned from squircles to circles to align with the latest One UI 7 design goals. The tablet is running the ZYC2 version of One UI 7, which is packed with the March 2025 security patch, based on Android 15.

This is not our review, however, because we, like all others, are waiting for One UI 7 to roll out to all supported devices.

So, tell us your opinion, how do you like the tablet version of One UI 7?

Timezone definition update for smartwatches rolls out

Recently, the timezone definition for smartwatches running Wear OS based on Android has been updated to support the latest changes made to some of the timezones. According to the IANA timezone database that Android uses, your smartwatch gets the latest timezone information from such database that uses the official timezone definitions according to your country’s government.

Some countries have ceased using summer time, and some others still use the summer time. The database reflects all the changes to the timezones according to each city in each country.

Now, people have started getting the timezone definition update through a small notification saying that their watch has been updated to use the latest timezone definitions and to reboot it to finalize the update. This was the notification:

In order to update the timezone definitions, restart your watch using the Restart now button found in the notification. If you have dismissed the notification, the next time you restart your watch, the timezone definition update will be installed. The update will be installed instantly and in no time, unlike major software updates, such as the upcoming One UI 7 Watch (or is it One UI 6.5 Watch?).

Early “rollout” for AT&T version of Samsung Galaxy S24 debunked

A Reddit user has claimed that they got the One UI 7.0 update early for the AT&T locked version of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In a deleted Reddit post, the user claims that AT&T had started distributing the One UI 7.0 update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Before the user deleted the post, ThatJoshGuy has managed to take the screenshots of the One UI 7.0 build, including the software information one that showed that it was running on a BYBI build of One UI 7.

According to the latest stable firmware information from the server, we have found no reference to the BYBI version of One UI 7, which tells us that the user has somehow gotten the pre-production device that now runs a non-final version of One UI 7. Samsung didn’t start rolling out the update yet until April starts, so you can’t get this version of One UI at the moment. In addition to that, the recruitment for the Beta program for the S24 series is not longer open.

So, in short, there is no rollout of the update, but it’s more like a case of a user getting a non-production phone that gets all the test versions. You can’t get a non-production phone by all means.

According to the screenshots, the build contains some of the changes that the Z Fold/Flip 6 beta builds incorporate, such as the media player live notification that makes playback management easier than the older Beta versions of One UI 7. The following screenshots verify this claim:

The media player now shows as a live notification, which is similar to what you get in One UI 6. You can turn this live notification on from the live notification settings.
