Samsung is preparing to launch the public beta testing for its One UI 7 Beta update this December, starting with the Galaxy S24 series. According to a tweet by tipster @FamilyTaes, the beta testing will run for about two months. This gives you a chance to try out new features and visual improvements before the stable version rolls out in February 2025.
Rollout Timeline
Here’s how Samsung plans to roll out the One UI 7 beta:
- Week 1 of December: Galaxy S24 users get first access. Availability will depend on your region.
- Weeks 2–3 of December: Galaxy S23 users will join the beta program.
- Two-Month Testing: During this phase, Samsung will gather feedback and make improvements. The stable version is expected to arrive around the Galaxy S25 series launch in late January.
For now, it’s unclear if older models like the Galaxy S22 series will be included. However, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S21 series will not participate. On the bright side, the latest foldable phones, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, are expected to be part of the beta.
